I Take It All Back Again–Big N Reinvents the Wii-l

Fifteen bucks for a wheel?  Wii-lly?No, that misspelling was both intentional and thoroughly ironic, o my wii-dership. You see, in a thoroughly wii-pugnant move on their part, Big N decided they were going to charge fifteen bucks for the new Wii Wheel, a plastic wheel-shaped frame that you can snap your wii-mote into to play the newest iteration of Super Mario Kart on the Wii, but now with extra realism. Kinda.

Of all the wii-pulsive, wii-volting (okay, I think I’m about out of Wii puns), money grubbing moves I’ve ever see, this one takes the taco. Fifteen bucks! For a plastic WHEEL! The hubris is astonishing. And all this after they pulled the super-cool move that was Zombie BBQ, too. Man, what happened?

On the up side, though, I eager-wii (okay, I had a couple more in me. Sue mii!) await word of how the homebrew crowd managed to hack the system and make their own without buying into the Big N machine. If you’ve got a plan, comment below and let me know! Better yet, send me pics of your homebrew Wii-l and teach Big N a thing or three.
