I played some this evening with an xbox controller.
Accell and Brake were just mapped to buttons.
I found that I had to keep Accell down also.
I'd already be on the gas and boost buttons, then hit the brake button and it would jump.
Not sure how that works on a combined axis.
Whatever version I have, the sound crapped out on the medium courses.
The music and some sound effects were there, but the engine noise was gone.
EDIT: If you're using a logitech wheel, you can have profiler post a button press for the brake pedal instead of an axis.
I don't think the game relies heavily on having an analog brake pedal. :lol

Damn that looks pretty good. It's got a wave racey vibe too. Now that Nintendo is finally making games in 1080p it's a crime against humanity we don't have another wave race game.

I played it a lot this evening. It's fun (well worth $1.39!), but I do have some gripes about it.
The usual "newer games suck" stuff.
Everything is about acquiring skill points and money to improve your jetski.
It's 90% that and only 10% actually learning the track and getting smarter about your lines.
I was stuck on a level and repeatedly came in 2nd every time.
Then I noticed that everyone but the guy who came in 1st had the same jetski as me.
He had the next level up.
Sure enough, as soon as I won enough money and spent it on the next performance upgrade.....first place!
Also, you don't learn how to do new tricks by learning anything. You "buy" new tricks with skill points. ::)
Both analog sticks are required to do tricks, which is how you get boost.
So I don't think it will work with a steering wheel setup.

Buying riptide!
Looks like it will be another week before the cabinet is done because I keep playing games!
Thanks for the heads up!

That's the "Mario Kart 8" gameplay model and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon. The only thing is, it works much better for MKart8 because it's also a battle game, so a slow cart can still potentially win a race.
