Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Mini & Deluxe Review | Nintendo Switch Hori

[@nintendolife]

Turns out, Sega Ages Virtua Racing allows you to change it's steering from Normal to Arcade in the options. Once you change that, steering feels just fine on these wheels! Shoutout to googleBot (robots these days, ehh?) for pointing that out!

[@Hadeks_Marow]

Why did you lie to us about linking the products in the description? Am I just blind?

[@Happymonday2015]

I can't see the links in the description either

[@syltendo]

I came here to say that (Virtua Racing having analog controls, no idea why it isn't the default control style). Looking forward to this wheel deluxe, I hope it can be plugged to other systems too. Is there a list of compatible consoles available? Comparisons with other wheels? Adapters it could be plugged to?

[@anneriordon4131]

It is shady to not let people know if it would work well with wrc vrally 4 or grid autosport. Incomplete and useless review. Not going to drop 100 for use with one game. Show gameplay with more titles please!!!

Where was the smash gameplay

[@BilbroBaginz]

Was given this wheel for xmas, love it. Pairs really wheel the the Wheel Stand Pro. Games below that I own. MK8 - works great do recommend changing to 180° steering, drifting is very rewarding after abit of practice. Rush Rally 3 - Perfect for this wheel, have had no problems at all. GRID - works great but adjusting the deadzone on the wheel and having all in game assists off helps for a more realistic experience. Still a small delay when turning. Mantis Burn & Rock n Racing - had alot of fun playing these top down racers, recommend changing steering to 180° as most tracks are very tight.

[@keithstone135]

Thanks for the grid review i was looking for a short and simple review that's useful

[@dylanplayz6092]

Thank you I waana get this for grid and nfs

[@dawiggy9479]

Still lovin it??

[@Rocky0Road]

Can you accelerate by using controls on the steering wheel instead of the peddles

[@Tazerboy_10]

​​@@Rocky0Road Yeah, you can accelerate with the A/Y buttons on the steering wheel without needing to have the foot pedals attached!

[@boogie2852]

Got the mini yesterday and wow was not expecting to work as well as it does for me it's perfect! Definitely recommend..

[@vincenzovieri3743]

Any other company making a $110 premium steering wheel would build junk. Hori, on the other hand has always been known to build quality products. They never let us down. Thnx so much Hori! I’m getting this for Christmas!

[@TonyKanameKuran]

I hope that HORI releases the Cruis'N Blast Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe for the Switch and Windows. That would be a freaking blast to drive and igniting the NOS tank!

[@uhhh_adam]

I’ll probrably get the wheel just for that game

[@peteryt357]

Why didn't you try playing Authentic Racing Games with the Wheels like Grid Autosport and WRC 8?

[@franciscogouveia1573]

Good question

[@Ziondood]

I, unfortunately, don't have those games on hand, so I played what games I could with the wheels! I would have loved to play Grid though, I keep hearing amazing things!

[@commonsensei8719]

Isnt it obvious you cant play Rocket league with a steering wheel? Why did they show that instead of Grid

[@RyanParreno]

If you were curious, other reviewers have tried other racing games, and it should work fine, give or take making some adjustments on the wheel to remap buttons/change sensitivity settings where necessary This wheel also works on PC but does not have force feedback. It's pretty much the same wheel as the Driving Force Apex on PS4/PS3 and Driving Force Overdrive on Xbox One

[@LT1serj]

First thing I wondered as well

[@googleBot89]

You're wrong about Virtua Racing. It has an option for "Arcade steering" which means its analog

[@Ziondood]

Totally right! Thanks for pointing that out!

[@lejollygg7743]

Hmm 🤔 - Reviews Racing Wheels for Game Console - Doesn't test on "normal" racing games - Only shows footage of driving bikes in MK8D I don't want to hate, but that's a bit strange imo.

[@cringemeister9417]

There isn’t really ‘normal’ racing games on the Nintendo switch, and after all, it is a mariokart wheel.

[@simplysecurity5126]

This was a review of not just a “racing wheel” but rather just a basic accessory to go with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. He only did more Kart specific games because that’s what the wheel was made for, to simulate the sort of experience that you would see at an arcade or what not. I wouldn’t recommend buying this as a legit gaming wheel if you are looking for a quality one. Logitech makes some great beginner wheels that you can probably pick up for around $120.

[@therandomd2717]

He should of tried grid or something

[@tot4lrand0mness59]

There's asphalt 9

[@Darknight0681]

That wheel should’ve been tested with other games, considering that this variant is identical to the ones that Hori has released on other platforms for their racing titles. The Mario Kart graphics and visuals on the wheel was simply to give it an “in” on the target platform.

[@nighthaze4313]

Bit disappointed there is no video of you actually using it

[@Willis2992]

This definitely sounds and reads more like an ad than a review.

[@cipher0334]

Willis yeah I didn’t think this video was very good

[@Wooshey_Wooj]

Dude, the pro looks amazing. It looks like it was custom made. Somebody’s free time but gave it they’re all. Hori always comes through for us lol.

[@surmontesurvolerealise4]

For better sensations, I suggest the dual vibration PXN V900 wheel instead. You will only have to make a little twist. SETUP FOR ANALOG PEDALS ON NINTENDO SWITCH- You have to assign pedals to the left stick, here's the trick: - Hold the wheel’s "PROG" button until the red light flashes quickly. - Press the right pedal down and the red light will flash slower. - Quickly press Up on the d-pad. - Hold the wheel’s "PROG" button until the red light flashes quickly. - Press the left pedal down and the red light will flash slower. - Quickly press Down on the d-pad. From there, racing games for Switch that allows you to assign gas and brake to an analog stick (through the options) like GRID: Autosport or WRC games will perfectly work. After that, you will just have to fine tune the parameters for the wheel's and pedals dead zone and sensitivity in the games settings. You also can set the wheel paddles for shifting gears. Have fun! 😀

[@BlueThunderO7]

A few weeks ago, after hearing about this wheel and pedals from a Mario Kart KZbinr I'm subscribed to, I purchased one myself because besides Mario Kart, F-Zero is another Nintendo racing franchise that wheel would be absolutely perfect for. Fortunately since I have the Nintendo Switch Online N64 Expansion pack, I was able to play F-Zero X with this and I am soooo happy that I did. 😃😃😃

[@forbzee44]

NO WAY. I'd get this and Switch online only for F-Zero X with a Wheel

[@BlueThunderO7]

@@forbzee44 It's totally worth it my guy. I also use mine to play F-Zero 99 as well thanks to the buttons on the wheel and pedals being completely remappable. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@samfrisby6135]

Damn I wish I played Mariokart enough to make buying this worth it!

[@derrickgott007]

The Deluxe wheel looks my Nissan Rogue steering Wheel. Flat bottom included. Lol

[@TrollingHistory]

Nintendo should add some pokemom characters to Mario kart. Super secret unlockable players. Like mew and mewtwo and they ride their bubbles pink for mew, purple for mewtwo. Have Ash on a motor bike with pikachu in the front basket. When they get weapons like red shell. Pikachu does an attack instead. Mayb mewtwo can ride the motor bike with mew in the basket lol. Or have Ash. Misty. Jesse James etc. But when they go through the pick up a pokemon appears from ball into their front basket with an attack. Speed boost the pokemon can jump behind and boost the bike with their powers. That would breath new life into this ancient game.

[@mr.gluestickman1886]

Cool idea but that's probably a little too pokemon heavy for a game called Mario kart

[@Drawerofstuff00]

Daemon X Machina on this would be insane!

[@reyzephlyn105]

Seeing the gameplay of reviewers who rated it bad. Makes me think they played on this. Especially since alot of them don't boost

[@joshuathelycanskunk2890]

[@WinnfieldCustoms]

i had the steering wheel / gear shifter for my sega dreamcast and then got one for my playstation. i had so much fun with those

[@Fulthrotle73]

Glad your able to do your own work.

[@Tazerboy_10]

Woah... I saw the Mario Kart Deluxe Steering wheel at my Local BestBuy, but I was wondering if there pedals; Now, I know that!

[@kd_ss]

The red one’s pedals so cute ☺️

[@ericc.petrie7572]

Does it work with GRID? Are the pedals analog or digital? The nature of the pedals would be extremely important to racing fans.

[@nixkobold]

I'd also like to know if it has force feedback

[@pepe2011pley]

@@nixkobold No. It vibrate but no. It just a Port from the ps3 and PS4. And it's a very bad wheel

[@simplysecurity5126]

I wouldn’t take something like a Mario Kart wheel that is specifically made for arcade style kart games (aka Mario Kart) because it’s just more of an accessory to that specific game. I do agree with you, this video could’ve included more detail, but I would assume that this isn’t the best wheel since it was only made for MKD

[@thegary1303]

Pedals can be set up to be analog on Grid Autosport.

[@Darknight0681]

Grid has a specific wheel config now. Some say the steering is too sensitive on that mode but to me it felt fine. It’s a total game changer.

[@DiamondBull66]

This is how Mario Kart was meant to be played

[@mugu007]

did this man really spend the entire time riding a motorcycle on MK8D while reviewing a steering wheel ?

[@klaspeppar5619]

I personally think both the wheels look a bit to “toy like” even the deluxe one. I guess that I’m a bit to much of a hard core “sim racing” guy, for this one..... I wish my Thrust Master TMX wheel, TH8A stick and T3PA pedals would work with the Switch. Still like Mario kart though, it is great when you need a brake from all the “sim racing”.

[@muhammadnurakbar4188]

Does it have force feedback ? And does the pedal have clutch variants ?

[@zeadtiteazz6894]

Trying to figure out why you review a wheel and you didn't think to include some obvious LA Noire footage! How does it work with LA Noire?? Does it even work with LA Noire? Jesus bro, way to miss the mark, if you review a wheel, you should play every single switch game in the catalog that has vehicle gameplay.

[@zeadtiteazz6894]

Obviously joking.... It's a MARIO WHEEL, Mario kart seems appropriate

[@uhhh_adam]

HAMSTER, Arcade Archives Mario Kart Arcade GP when?? 😂

[@jeffreysousa4551]

Do you have to turn on quick mode during every race? Do you do it before? Does it stay on forever once activated? Does the wheel let you know that you activated quick mode? Thanks Jeff

[@nessentialsunlimited]
