If you’re one of the 63 million proud owners of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the best-selling Switch game, you’ll be excited to know that a special sale is currently underway for Mario Kart racing wheels. The officially licensed Mario Kart Pro Mini Racing Wheel is now priced at $56.68, down from $70, marking the lowest price seen recently. Additionally, the larger Mario Kart Pro Deluxe Racing Wheel is available for $89, reduced from $110.
For those looking to purchase Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it’s available for $50. It’s also included in Nintendo’s newly released 2024 Switch holiday bundles, although those bundles are currently not available on all platforms. The Nintendo Switch OLED, bundled with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and three months of Switch Online, can be found for $349 at select retailers, while the standard Switch console with the same bundle is priced at $299.
Focusing on the racing wheels, the Pro Mini features a vibrant red and blue design that mirrors Mario’s classic aesthetic. Its ergonomic shape is designed to replicate real steering wheels, with face buttons, a D-pad, and triggers conveniently placed on the front. Additionally, the Pro Mini comes equipped with pedals for acceleration and braking, making it an excellent choice for younger gamers or anyone seeking an affordable racing wheel.
On the other hand, the Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe features a sleek red and black design that offers a more premium experience. This larger wheel includes carefully placed ZL and ZR triggers for natural hand positioning, along with larger pedals and detachable paddles—ideal for those who enjoy manual gear shifting in other racing games.
For Mario Kart 8 Deluxe enthusiasts, the Pro Mini is likely the best option considering the current price difference, although the Pro Deluxe has seen discounts around $70 in the past. As Prime Big Deal Days approach, be sure to keep an eye out for additional Nintendo sales that may enhance your gaming experience.
