G Wheel

The G Wheel is an add-on accessory developed by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube video game console. Codenamed Project Steer during development, the G Wheel was designed to allow for "more intuitive" gameplay control by incorporating steering and tilting into non-racing game genres. The G Wheel is incompatible with the pre-existing GameCube library and thus has its own exclusive library of dedicated games that require the add-on.

The add-on was distributed by Nintendo for all regions on January 30, 2006.

Features
As stated above, the G Wheel is specifically designed for incorporating racing controls in non-racing genres, such as platforming.

Unlike a majority of modern video game controllers, the button layout of the G Wheel has two face buttons (A and B) on the left side an analogue stick on the right. There is also a shoulder button (Z) on the left side and a START/PAUSE button in the center.

The steering wheel portion of the add-on has a gyro sensor for detecting left and right tilting motion. The G Wheel must be attached to the Nintendo GameCube in order to play games that utilize the add-on. The G Wheel plugs into the four controller ports and two memory card slots on the GameCube console.

To save game data, the G Wheel has a slot on the left side for a single Nintendo GameCube memory card.
