I bought my Wii used and got a wavebird along with it. It's nice for most VC, and my Zelda collection. It's got a nice feel and heft to it. I'm not fond of the c-stick's shape, but whatever.

I intend to try all kart control schemes, except the Classic Controller, including the wiimote+nunchuck, which I kind of think I might like best. It'd be a no-brainer if you could turn off/remap motion controls.
