This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Hori Mario Kart Racing Wheel and Pedals
This Hori Mario Kart racing wheel for Nintendo Switch has a red-and-blue casing, a large central M button and separate pedals. Its shape in the product photograph matches the Racing Wheel Pro Mini family. The wheel is approximately 22 centimetres in diameter and rotates through 180 degrees. Turn the wheel to steer, with buttons and paddles keeping other actions within reach. The central ITEM button lets you use an item without moving a hand to a separate controller.
The wheel connects by USB to the Nintendo Switch dock. The pedals connect to the steering unit and operate through that setup; batteries or wireless pairing are unnecessary. ASSIGN lets you remap functions. This matters because racing games use different buttons for acceleration and braking. The manual also describes a button-hold function and a switch that lets the directional pad take over a stick function. Not every feature behaves identically in every game.
This listing offers the wheel with pedals. A Nintendo Switch, dock, television and games are not automatically included. A table clamp or original packaging is not inferred from the model name either. On PC, the manufacturer supports XInput games; that does not mean general compatibility with every racing game or console. Below are five Nintendo Switch games from Hori's compatibility list, including the relevant button assignments.
History
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe arrived on Nintendo Switch in April 2017. It brought Mario Kart 8's races to Nintendo's hybrid console and reworked features including arena battles. Alongside normal button controls, players could choose different wheel accessories. Hori developed an approach with a stationary steering unit and pedals. This kept the setup on a table, whereas a small plastic Joy-Con wheel fitted around a separate Joy-Con.
Hori's Japanese product page dates this Racing Wheel family to November 2019. The original model combined a 22-centimetre wheel with a USB connection and separate pedals. The contemporary Deluxe version had a different construction and adjustment options. The Mini name therefore means more than a colour difference. The visible controls, shape and original documentation determine which properties belong to the offered wheel. A Deluxe model's wider rotation or different mounting system is not attributed to this one.
Game support extended beyond Mario Kart. Hori published a compatibility list covering kart racers, toy cars and circuit racing. Its notes for each title show how a wheel can also send ordinary controller commands. Acceleration, braking and shifting can therefore need different assignments from game to game. The accessory also illustrates the Switch library: very different racing games share a console without necessarily sharing the same controls or settings.
Nintendo Switch Games with this racing wheel
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe combines cornering with drifting, items and tracks that take you along walls or through the air. The large ITEM button corresponds to using those items. Hori explicitly lists the game as supported: acceleration defaults to A and braking to B, so check or adjust the pedals through ASSIGN. The wheel provides controls for one player; each additional participant needs their own controller.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled emphasises powerslides and building speed through well-timed boosts. Characters and tracks from the original Crash kart racer return, alongside additions from Crash Nitro Kart. Hori states that this Switch version uses B for acceleration by default. Assign that function to the desired pedal. The paddles and other buttons can keep additional actions within reach, but do not learn the boost timing for you.
GRID Autosport shifts the focus to braking points, racing lines and events with different types of car. Feral Interactive's Switch version builds on Codemasters' racing game. Hori lists support, with ZR for acceleration and ZL for braking as the default commands. Set those pedal functions through ASSIGN; for manual shifting, the stated B and Y functions can be moved to the paddles. This does not give the wheel features unsupported by the game itself.
Hot Wheels Unleashed sends toy cars around tracks with loops, jumps and sharp turns. Drifting replenishes boost, linking steering with choosing the right moment for extra speed. Hori includes the Switch version in its list and instructs players to assign ZR and ZL to the pedals. For camera control or actions using the right stick, the manufacturer also describes switching the directional pad to that stick function.
Gear.Club Unlimited 2 focuses on licensed cars and races through different landscapes. You work on cars in the garage before taking them into events. Its pace and braking points differ from Mario Kart's item battles. Hori confirms support and lists R or ZR for acceleration and L or ZL for braking. Map the desired functions to the pedals with ASSIGN. This example concerns the original second game, without promising content from the later Tracks Edition.
