So, I know that the Wii offers a Wii Sports pack that includes an attachment that turns your Wii-mote into a golf club, tennis racket, and a baseball bat, and not to mention the ones we’re already familiar with, like the steering wheel and various shooter attachments. But while shopping online at Overstock.com, I came across a few that I had no idea existed (might be because I don’t own a Wii, but it actually just makes me want to get one even more). Some were pretty neat, others made me go, Seriously? But anyway, I thought it was amusing enough for a blog.
“Intec’s Ultimate Action Pack for Wii brings your favorite sports and action games to life. It comes with four unique attachments for your Wii remote, making it easier to win. Knock ‘em out of the park with the Baseball Bat; Get that perfect swing with the Golf Club; Improve your serve and backhand with the Tennis Racket; Slash your enemies to bits in Zelda with the Z Sword.”
“ This dual set of controller holders is a virtual chef’s dream. One holder is shaped in the mold of a frying pan while the other is a combination of a spatula, a knife and tongs, so you can fry, flip, cut and slice any one of your favorite dishes. For the handle with the multiple utensils, just keep the one that you wish to use upright while sliding the others to the side of the handle and you are ready to go. In the handle a cut-out mold that cradles your Wii remote so that you are ready to point and cook.”
“The Boxer Gloves for Wii are perfect for gamers that want to add a touch of reality to their gaming experience. With these gloves, you get the actual feel and work out of being inside of the ring. You no longer have the inconvenience of holding the controllers in the palms of each of your hands. The gloves have a pouch on the backside of the hand that houses two foam cushions that are designed specifically for the controllers to rest in; this way you can punch away like a real boxer and not have to worry about clenching bulky objects. There is also an adjustable Velcro strap located at the wrists that you can tighten to fit the level of your comfort. All in all, the Boxer Gloves are a perfect 1-2 combo that is sure to make any gamers, whether novice or expert, experience a knock-out! “
“ Need a more interactive Ping Pong experience from your Wii ping pong video game? With the Ping Pong paddle set from CTA digital you can enjoy those Wii ping pong video games as if you were playing the real game. This package contains two paddle attachments that snap into their corresponding handles. This foam-rubber padded paddle set looks and feels like the authentic paddles used in the sport. With the ping pong paddles for Wii, you’ll not only dominate the virtual ping pong tournaments but you could even take on an actual ping pong match. “
“Rack’em and break’em with this Pool Stick for your Nintendo Wii. Designed in the mold of a conventional pool stick, this 26.5 inch stick will give you the authentic feel of cueing it up on the pool table. The handle of the stick serves as the cradle for your Wii remote. The tip of the stick is covered with a rubber to prevent any harm in the event that someone or something is poked. It is light in weight so that it does not become taxing over a period of long playing time, which makes the game even more enjoyable for the user. With this pool stick, jumping into your game is as easy as saying, “8 ball, corner pocket”.”
“Cast and reel for an authentic feel with this fishing pole for your Wii control. This thin and lightweight rod adds a touch of realism to your gaming experience. It is comprised of five 7 inch segments that slide into each other for compact storage while not in use. When closed it is 10.5 inches and is 35 inches extended. The base of the rod is a mold designed to fit the top portion of your Wii controller. Included is a two inch long, plastic fish that you can tie on to the end of the nylon string which is located at the tip of the rod. A sure fire winner for those that love the sport of fishing; this game is a hook, line and sinker.”
“Even in the darkest of nights, you’ll be able to slash, stab, and shield your way through your Wii role playing games with the Light Blade for Wii from CTA Digital. The blade of this sword is made of a light weight, translucent, PVC plastic, producing a battery powered luminous glow. In the grip of each weapon is a slot where the Wii remote and Nun chuk fits securely into. Virtual attackers stand no chance, as you battle evil with your radiant Light Blade!”
“Get a grip, with the Controller Glove for Wii. This multi-functional glove will assure that you never lose the handling of your remote control while providing ultimate comfort. The backside of the glove is made of a ribbed, elastic spandex material to fit hands of all sizes while allowing ventilation so your hands don’t perspire. The Velcro adjustable strap in the back, above the wrist, assures that the glove is tightly fit. The bottom (palm) portion is made of soft leather that allows a more secure grip on the controller. Not only are these gloves ideal or limited to usage with the Wii, they are also great for recreational activities like bike riding, weight lifting, baseball batting and anything else that requires a firm and secure grip.”
Amazing. What other console has ever made such an effort to make the game experience as real as can be? Hey, even if it is with silly plastic add-ons, I’m digging it!
