ASR Wii Wheel Situation Clarified

Coming to Australia, Not to Germany…What About France?

Today on the Sonic City Blognik, Sega Europe community liaison Kevin Eva, under his ArchangelUK handle, clarified the availability of that special Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing themed Wii wheel throughout Europe.  It’s already been confirmed that the peripheral won’t make the trek across the Atlantic to North America.

But good news for Australians–you’re getting it, AAUK affirmed today.  With that came news that another country won’t be seeing it, and that’s Germany.  No reason was given for the shutout there.

For those Germans, a trip to France may be in order, because according to the update, that country will receive a “double Wii Wheel pack,” as described.  That will be in addition to the regular Wii wheel bundle.  No word yet on whether the double bundle will end up costing more.

AAUK noted the situation in Italy and Spain remains to be determined.  The bottom line–the availability of the special ASR Wii wheel may be more hit and miss than originally anticipated.  If you’re interested and you’re not in a country getting the peripheral, it may be time to get in touch with an importer.  We’ll keep you posted on developments.
