Mario Kart Wii (now with spoilers! Even in a racing game...)

I'm glad to see I'm not alone in this. I mean, what if Mario Kart Wii didn't have 'Cube or CC controller compatability to begin with? You'd have to use the Wiimote or the Wii-chuk combo anyway, so why bitch about it?

I think stripping certain features off the GC and the CC is a good idea - it acts as an INCENTIVE to use the stuff that came WITH the system.

I doubt I'd buy the game at all if it was just Wii-mote controls. Racing games that use the Wii-Mote for steering sloppy at best.

Although I personally don't think gimping the classic controllers and gamecube controllers is a bad idea. They're obviously going to be more precise than a Wii-mote giving standard controller users an advantage. So you make it to where people who use normal controllers can't do all the special moves or whatever to balance it out.

I'm kinda mixed about this... Yes, I realise that ignoring the Wii's main thing is dumb, but that doesn't necessarily mean it should be shoved down everyone's throats. I bring up Star Fox Command as my primary example. I really, really hated the control scheme there. It was almost as though they were using it just because it was possible, and it really limited that game in my eyes.
I realise the solution would then be to fix the inadequate controls, but if it's potentially going to cut into your sales to exclude alternatives, it would not be a wise option.
