Microsoft has Forza Motorsport on Xbox, PlayStation gamers can get behind the wheel of Gran Turismo, but what do Nintendo Switch owners have when they feel a need for speed? A surprising number of great racing games, and ones that'll feel even better when you use a proper racing wheel to burn rubber around corners. Over on Amazon, Hori's official Nintendo Switch racing wheel is now on sale, and has been discounted to $95.

This is a full-size racing wheel that comes with pedals, providing an authentic simulation of motor sports on your Switch, or at the very least, making each turn that much more intense in a round of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (available for $45 at Walmart). It has a 180-degree and 270-degree turn radius with adjustable output options, it can be safely mounted to a surface thanks to the built-in clamps, and it has Nintendo's seal of approval. Aside from the included face and shoulder buttons, D-pad, and other Switch inputs, the racing wheel comes with rear flappy paddles for when you need to quickly change gears.

As an added bonus, it's also compatible with PC. For racing games on Switch, there's no shortage of available titles here. For something that'll appear to the arcade racer in you, Burnout Paradise Remastered, Crash Team Racing Nitro, Team Sonic Racing, and Horizon Chase Turbo are all fantastic and breezy options. If you're looking for something a bit more on the serious side, try out WRC 8, Nascar Rivals, and Grid Autosport.

Of course, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains the king of Switch racing wheels. If you prefer a racing wheel with a Mario Kart theme, you can get Hori's officially licensed Pro Deluxe for $100 (was $110) at Amazon. It's essentially the same wheel, just with a red and black Mario Kart color palette and logo.
