Tried MKWii a few times on 150cc, and yeah. I haven't known about this until now, but it feels like newer games in the Mario Kart series feel a lot easier than older titles, but now I know about this. If I had to guess why Nintendo made this change, it's probably becuase they wanna help newer players that are playing the game for the first time to really get used to the game's controls.
