That and maybe Caddicarus with his shitty takes and whiny attitude and Eruption with his mechas. What do you think?
And the motorbike handles! Both are absolutely atrocious to use, but hey, at least it helps to give you some perspective on the quality of the default motion control schemes...
@@roderickbawcutt I feel like he could get at least a 40 minute video out of if, because he would first have to explain the origin of the alphabet and why Nintendo specifically chose that letter (and not a number). It'd also include the origin of the placement of the button, etc
I'm happy that now exist a Scott's Stash video on Mario Kart Wheels, but I'm also sad that this might be the last Scott's Stash video on Mario Kart Wheels Hopefully 5 years from now we might get a remake
I remember playing Mario Kart Wii with my cousin back then, every time he used the Wii Wheel and I always said "Hey man, are you sure you want to use the Wii Wheel and not the GameCube Controller?" And yet he still went with the Wii Wheel and he always wondered why he lost.
In my friends group we preferred the Wiimote not in wheel vs in. And yes when figured out the nunchuck worked it was a game changer. Far less fighting over GC controllers.
Isn't the GameCube controller kinda unconventional? Especially since tricking is mapped to the goddamn D-pad for no reason? I just feel WiiMote and Nunchuck is the most conventional
I remember the day when my parents, for the beginning of the school year, bought the family a Wii and Mario kart to go with it. Truly one of the best moments of my childhood.
I like watching Scott’s stash at night, it just has more of a feeling where it is like he’s talking directly to you, probably because of the lack of a ton of editing like the usual vids
Appreciate that you took to the time to add more game footage and pictures to emphasis on some conversation to your videos on this channel more omg. I didn't mind the style of just a handcam with minimum editing at all (I could listen to Scott rambling anything tbh) but I commend you effort despite this being a side "free talk" channel
Personally, I'm waiting for Mario Takes the Train, the eco friendly, accessible sequel franchise - comes with an accessory smart card that you can tap to the console's NFC reader to pay the fare
I actually bought the joycon wheels at their launch specifically for them improving the triggers of the sideways joycon when I played multiplayer at school. Ended up getting rid of them once I got a second set of joycon to take on the go, but seeing them here just unlocked so many memories
I actually got a pair of Wii Wheels years before I got Mario Kart. They were found at a yard sale along with a pair of Wii Zappers. After a while, there were threats to get rid of them, but I insisted they stay. A year or so later, I won an auction and got Mario Kart 8. First game I ever bought at auction. I almost always use a Wii Wheel for Mario Kart, for better or for worse. The ergonomics are just that good!
I feel like it's impossible to understand how cool the Wii wheel was if you weren't there when it happened. It's easy enough to explain how it was a novelty and a big gimmick (in a good way), but it's very hard to convey the excitement that came with this plastic circle - it's very much a "if you don't understand I don't think I can explain" thing. I don't care about any subsequent wheels, but god do I want a Wii wheel. I don't even own a single Mario kart game. But I want that damn wheel. It's so iconic
❗️My Timestamps: 0:23 I had a (unofficial) Black Wii Wheel. Used it a few times and never again. 21:55 Real-style racing was the reason I left the Wii and went PS3 from 2010 to 2017.
I don't. That hardware sucked, and I can play every game from that era that I cared about on better consoles. Except Mario Party 8 and Wii Sports Resort.
Funfact: There's another, non listed in this video, official steering wheel made by Nintendo It's the Labo Steering wheel. It's also compatible with Mario Kart and Grid, oddly enough.
i've been playing mario kart wii online lately, it's absolutely amazing that the community is still active to this day, despite the games servers being down for at least 8 years. that game is absolutely legendary. anyone who played it growing up has to hop back online it's such a nostalgia trip
15:55 I think it was because at the time of the Switch's launch they were really honing in on the fact you could play 2 player anywhere with one system.
Man this brings me back to when I had the dreamGear Wii wheel. It mounted to a table and the base was blue and the wheel was red. That was my main method of playing the Speed Racer game for the Wii and then it came back into action when I started to play Mario Kart 8. The Wii Wheel is probably my favorite Wii peripheral.
9:37 this was something as a kid that really messed me up after playing mario kart wii, i thought that the controls were the same, and almost snapped my 3ds in half trying to shake the console to do a trick
Whenever I play Mario Kart Wii with friends, it’s a race to get to either the GameCube controller or the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, no one wants to be left with the motion controls, doesn’t matter if it has the wheel or not.
I just got out of the hospital! And my grandparents died 17 days apart! And this was awaiting me as I was home just crazy how time flies and I really didn't know what was going on besides a lot! This game represents a part of my childhood that I can vaguely remember about the game. And more about my actual life.
I remember as a kid, I never had an official Wii Wheel. Instead, my family got some kind of third-party wheels alongside some of those dumb Wii Sports peripherals, and those were what we used for Mario Kart, since our copy was a rental from our local Movie Gallery (we eventually bought the game from the store when it closed down). I can't remember who made the wheels, but they had a split top, pink hand grips, and I think even an IR port.
I always used the nunchuck in MKW, but my brothers both had wheels. We had the official one, that came with the game, and a random third party wheel (by gamexpert). I actually preferred the third party wheel whenever I did use the wheel, it was just bigger and more comfortable in my hands.
I have a third party one that's bigger and personally I find it more comfortable, you can also use the Nunchuck with it, there's a connection that you open, put the Wii Remote in, close it, amd then there's a lid in the back that you pop off and plug your Nunchuck. I don't why anyone would do it, but you can.
One of my favourite things abt Mario Kart Wii is that the online mode allowed you to lie about using motion controls. You had a preset set of phrases you could say before a race, and one of them was "I‘m using motion controls!", which i LOVED spamming with my Gamecube controller 😌
20:17, got one of these for my son's 3rd bday and he loves it. We only use it maybe once a month but if you want a real challenge, play F-Zero 99 with it.
On the topic of stache: I don't think there's enough discussion of the split that happened in Nintendo's brand image of Mario back with Paper Mario. Paper Mario depicts Mario's moustache as brown, matching his hair (as it should be!), and it also depicts the bill of his hat as brown as well. I prefer these changes. Nobody has brown hair and a black moustache. Also, Scott, why don't you have a stache? Definitely need one to be posting here.
The joycon-wheel might actually be nice for "regular" side-ways joycon use like scott mentioned! l dont really play like that anymore but around the launch when fewer of my friends had their own switches it would probably have been more comfortable to play them in those holders rather than with/without the little clasp nintendo provided. huh
I was one of the few hundred people who actually used the Joy-Con to play online. I ended up getting a used set from GameStop since I said I used tilt controls. I didn't know at the time that I could use the Pro Controller/Joy-Con grip as the wheel. I spent over 3 years playing Mario Kart with the Joy Con wheel. Lmao.
I accidentally clicked on scotts stash and thought I was in the main channel, and I saw this video and clicked on it thinking it was a new scott upload. it took me about 10 minutes before I realized it was a scott's stash video.
I 100% completed Mario Kart Wii using the wheel. One of my best gaming accomplishments. I only use it when I play Mario Kart Wii. Happy to have that Gold Wheel Icon on my menu. Haha.
Ok why is the A button on the Wii remote like that??? Usually they are translucent with the A recessed, and here it’s just like the 1 and 2 buttons? I’ve never seen that before
If I recall correctly, as far as more serious sim-ish racing games go, GRID Autosport is on the Switch! Not only that, but since the lack of analogue triggers on Joy-Cons and Pro Controllers makes playing this sort of games really hard, they have proper GCN Controller support, and not only did they patch to properly make use of the HORI Pro Deluxe and Mini Wheels but ALSO to add support of the LABO Toy-Con Vehicle Kit Wheel & Pedal.
When I first played Mario Kart Wii in 2009, I always used the Wii Wheel because I just thought it looked cool. A few years later I just used the Wii Remote on its side and thought it actually worked way better (it also helped that I actually got good at the game). Then in high school I switched over to the Wiimote and Nunchuck and haven’t looked back since.
For what it’s worth: Nintendo distributed a few Mario (and friends) branded official Wii Wheels for MK8 via Club Nintendo in Japan, including the one mentioned in the vid from NA’s Wii U Bundle
The golden wii wheel was also a reward that you could get at club nintendo europe, one of the few rewards I got alongside their occasional soundtrack CD.
Seen the 3DS/Joycons wheels, did surprise me when I first saw them going what why! I think the plastic buttons do help for sure by the look. The Hori (proper) wheel peripheral with Mario stuff on it was hilarious to watch someone review as to me it doesn't work as well for Mario Kart as motion controls do especially with an automated control scheme compared to other racing games (Gear Club Unlimited 1&2 and Need for Speed are arcade racers, open world racing games are arcade ones to my knowledge don't know a single simulation one, Grid Autosport, WRC, MotoGP, Ride, Gran Turismo, Forza, in the PC space iRacing, no idea about Assetto Corsa but I know people were annoyed at Project Cars being different but to me it was a case of it being a Need For Speed Shift 3 which Shift was more simulation but PC3 is a bit more arcadey in content and feel than 1&2, they are more your simulation type racing games to compare. There isn't many arcade racers these days though unless you go Indie nostalgia ones (Outrun clones, of may Ridge Racer like ones) or your big name NFS/Forza Horizon, The Crew, TrackMania and such) on Switch. But Wii U always had Need For Speed Most Wanted and that was about the most major you were getting. It looks better and higher quality than the PS2 one that's smaller but similar purpose that I have a Tru Blu wheel. Then again the Wii U has no Project Cars 1 on it that was cancelled that port so otherwise it was good for kart racers, certain arcadey (your wave race/jet ski style, 3DS got Outrun and many bike games or Spy Hunter being a more vehicular combat game), and futuristic ones that was about it. I guess F1 the cartoony one was there and some arcade top down ones exist that are very retro style but no MotoGP/WRC at all or Sim of other games known from the era. Even the 3DS had one WRC, Ridge Racer, Driver Renegade and Asphalt 3D are apparently bad, a F1 2011 (Vita had 3, 4 & 5 but still compared to the Switch having many entries). I prefer Wii over 7 though to play though if I had a working Double Dash I'd say that but I have a dead copy. For feel of controls for content not sure. I think plastic/peripherals did it for sure. I think 'actual peripherals' than plastic shells is better but still the illusion works. You would pretend to drive with the wheel for sure as a kid or understanding a controller. Ah how we prefer to play not have things automated. XD I find tilting motion controls not that possible in racing games. I think Mario Kart Wii did it well though, from my tests with Need For Speed Nitro on Wii, Gear Club Unlimited 2 on Switch or Gran Turismo 5 onwards with Sixaxis/Dualshock 3s for PS3 and GT Sport on PS4 Dualshock 4s I just can't do it, it doesn't work well for those arcadey or simulation physics/feel for those games unfortunately. Driving to me is boring IRL regardless of speed signs (gamer first, not into cars but knowledgeable from games aspects about cars. Gran Turismo 3 and Project Gotham Racing 2&3 are my favourite physics in games, but do they have the most realistic physics no they don't even if one is simulation in its tagline it's fun enough assists on and off, tossing a rally car is more fun then other entries or even WRC games for me. The other an arcadey racer with city custom tracks that are well designed and gameplay mode type approach (and Geometry Wars because why not in there) with Driveclub being the closest successor to that) I think real world physics suck over video game physics in simulators and arcadey racing games and I'm not big on most of the maybe 20+ I've played. Driving slower cars is fine in a video game, fast ones vary in fun if the physics are good (i.e. GT3) in real life it doesn't feel great at all for weight, pedals, steering, any of it for the slower cars (I hate Sedans to drive IRL so I go for Hatches IRL but even still they are the least annoying for me to drive). Driving in a simulation or arcade (I find kart racers boring or the AI cheat) is more fun. I've played Mario Kart Wii and 7 and they are....... Fine. I prefer other racing games or on the Wii especially Need for Speed Nitro or GT Pro Series (Ubisoft published and made the wheel for that game and others I think, otherwise MTO made good racing games) but still I get why it was popular, I personally find the games fine the feel isn't as fun as Crash Team Racing one of the few kart Racers I can stand (prefer F Zero or WipEout or Redout instead) for me but still.
bro i was crazy with the first person mario kart 7 motion controls. i was so good i tricked every other kid into thinking it was a superior control scheme and won every race against them
remember going to get mario kart wii on opening day at best buy and there was a pile of 30 in a main isle. I was either early or mario kart wii was not a big news item in 2008 in my city.
I love that these videos still have the "Scott The Woz feeling" in it while being a different style of video

I got the 3DS Wheel as a birthday present back in 2012.
_Rarely_ did I ever use it as a wheel. But as a sort of grip case? It was perfect!
Yeah, it actually makes the original 3DS comfortable for hours long play sessions. Because holy poop did the original 3DS hurt after a while to play.
Mario Kart Wii is probably the Mario Kart that I played the most. It was so responsive, and playing with the wheel was so much fun

The last game I expected to see over Scott's table was Starcraft II.
Scott talking about simracers for a moment put a smile on my face

“Just ass for me” needs to be said by more people. Great sentiment.
Love this channel and its contents scott
If Scott can make a twenty three minute video about the Wii Wheel, then surely he can find some way to actually make a video about the L button.
@Msg.OfficialJimmydarts0 Not even the right channel, dummy.
H these vids are so relaxing and comforting
Scott where is the video on the Wii motion plus add-on?
The golden wii wheel was also a reward that you could get at club nintendo europe, one of the few rewards I got alongside their occasional soundtrack CD.
Seen the 3DS/Joycons wheels, did surprise me when I first saw them going what why! I think the plastic buttons do help for sure by the look. The Hori (proper) wheel peripheral with Mario stuff on it was hilarious to watch someone review as to me it doesn't work as well for Mario Kart as motion controls do especially with an automated control scheme compared to other racing games (Gear Club Unlimited 1&2 and Need for Speed are arcade racers, open world racing games are arcade ones to my knowledge don't know a single simulation one, Grid Autosport, WRC, MotoGP, Ride, Gran Turismo, Forza, in the PC space iRacing, no idea about Assetto Corsa but I know people were annoyed at Project Cars being different but to me it was a case of it being a Need For Speed Shift 3 which Shift was more simulation but PC3 is a bit more arcadey in content and feel than 1&2, they are more your simulation type racing games to compare. There isn't many arcade racers these days though unless you go Indie nostalgia ones (Outrun clones, of may Ridge Racer like ones) or your big name NFS/Forza Horizon, The Crew, TrackMania and such) on Switch. But Wii U always had Need For Speed Most Wanted and that was about the most major you were getting. It looks better and higher quality than the PS2 one that's smaller but similar purpose that I have a Tru Blu wheel.
Then again the Wii U has no Project Cars 1 on it that was cancelled that port so otherwise it was good for kart racers, certain arcadey (your wave race/jet ski style, 3DS got Outrun and many bike games or Spy Hunter being a more vehicular combat game), and futuristic ones that was about it. I guess F1 the cartoony one was there and some arcade top down ones exist that are very retro style but no MotoGP/WRC at all or Sim of other games known from the era. Even the 3DS had one WRC, Ridge Racer, Driver Renegade and Asphalt 3D are apparently bad, a F1 2011 (Vita had 3, 4 & 5 but still compared to the Switch having many entries).
I prefer Wii over 7 though to play though if I had a working Double Dash I'd say that but I have a dead copy. For feel of controls for content not sure.
I think plastic/peripherals did it for sure. I think 'actual peripherals' than plastic shells is better but still the illusion works. You would pretend to drive with the wheel for sure as a kid or understanding a controller.
Ah how we prefer to play not have things automated. XD I find tilting motion controls not that possible in racing games. I think Mario Kart Wii did it well though, from my tests with Need For Speed Nitro on Wii, Gear Club Unlimited 2 on Switch or Gran Turismo 5 onwards with Sixaxis/Dualshock 3s for PS3 and GT Sport on PS4 Dualshock 4s I just can't do it, it doesn't work well for those arcadey or simulation physics/feel for those games unfortunately.
Driving to me is boring IRL regardless of speed signs (gamer first, not into cars but knowledgeable from games aspects about cars. Gran Turismo 3 and Project Gotham Racing 2&3 are my favourite physics in games, but do they have the most realistic physics no they don't even if one is simulation in its tagline it's fun enough assists on and off, tossing a rally car is more fun then other entries or even WRC games for me. The other an arcadey racer with city custom tracks that are well designed and gameplay mode type approach (and Geometry Wars because why not in there) with Driveclub being the closest successor to that) I think real world physics suck over video game physics in simulators and arcadey racing games and I'm not big on most of the maybe 20+ I've played. Driving slower cars is fine in a video game, fast ones vary in fun if the physics are good (i.e. GT3) in real life it doesn't feel great at all for weight, pedals, steering, any of it for the slower cars (I hate Sedans to drive IRL so I go for Hatches IRL but even still they are the least annoying for me to drive).
Driving in a simulation or arcade (I find kart racers boring or the AI cheat) is more fun. I've played Mario Kart Wii and 7 and they are....... Fine.
I prefer other racing games or on the Wii especially Need for Speed Nitro or GT Pro Series (Ubisoft published and made the wheel for that game and others I think, otherwise MTO made good racing games) but still I get why it was popular, I personally find the games fine the feel isn't as fun as Crash Team Racing one of the few kart Racers I can stand (prefer F Zero or WipEout or Redout instead) for me but still.
I love the videos on this channel
I remember how hard to find Mario Kart Wii was when it launched. The game launched I'm April 2008, I didn't get a copy until November that same year.
Idk how many notice, but I love the crinkle cut cardboard edges on the Wii products
10:20 Feels ike I already heard Scott saying that somewhere😆
footage of scott using a wheel to steer a bike is nuts
bro i was crazy with the first person mario kart 7 motion controls. i was so good i tricked every other kid into thinking it was a superior control scheme and won every race against them
I loved the 3ds wheel as a kid not because it was a wheel, but because it made the ds more comfortable to hold like a normal controller
Oof. I really related to not knowing what automatic & manual drift was when for a while. I didn't find out what the drift was until Mario Kart 7.
had this up on the other monitor playing trackmania and zoning out, then looked over and tuned back in at 19:17
I remember my friend having a pair of wheels and pedals for N64. That was really fun for Mario Kart 64.
Video on Wiimote skins/straps when?
I have a Mario Kart 8 for Wii U wheel, but I used it for Mario Kart Wii. It didn't work for me, but my son did pretty good with it.
I don't have the 3DS wheel but it at least looks like a good way to make the 3DS feel more like a traditional controller
As a newly registered driver I can confirm that Mario Kart with the racing wheel was spot on.
Or should I say, Scott on? Eh?
…I’ll see myself out.
remember going to get mario kart wii on opening day at best buy and there was a pile of 30 in a main isle. I was either early or mario kart wii was not a big news item in 2008 in my city.
If Scott doesn't talk about the Madagascar kartz wheel, I am going to freak.
