Wii Steeering Wheel Attachment
September 13, 2006 | Leave a Comment
I saw this steering wheel initially on Engadget and later on IGN. It is merely a chunk of foam that the Wii-mote clicks into. The buttons all remain accessible, but the wheel around it adds an amount of realism and additional immersion.
Ubisoft had Thrustmaster design this attachment to include with GT Pro Series and 4×4: World Circuit racing games. Of course the peripheral will work with any driving type game. This simple idea could easily extend to swords, baseball bats, golf clubs, chain saws and more! The manufacturing should be cheap enough to include with games just for the promotional value. The only drawback is where do you store all these hunks of foam you are likely to accumulate?
