News: Ubisoft Wheel Also Sold Seperately

For gamers wanting steering-wheel controlled action on the Wii for other games only, Ubisoft have the answer...
N-Europe managed to get its grubby mits on one of Ubisoft's wheel attachments for the Wii-mote in Paris, and found it an interesting addition to Monster 4x4 World Circuit, one of Ubisoft's launch titles they were showing off. Also available with GT Pro Series, the steering-wheel sized device clips-on to the Wii-mote, allowing your car on screen to be controlled by the slightest turn of your hands.
The wheel could really be used for any game using that same control system, and it is expected that other launch titles Need for Speed Carbon from EA or Nintendo's own ExciteTruck would benefit from using the device. Ubisoft confirmed to GameSpot today that the wheel would be sold separately - costing $19.99 in America (cheaper than buying a whole title at $49.99 just for the wheel).
