Wii MotionPlus
Nintendo has announced a new accessory for the Wii: the Wii MotionPlus. It’s basically a small gizmo you plug into the Wiimote wich enables it to do full 3D motion tracking, thus greatly enhancing its accuracy. According to Nintendo, this will translate into 1:1 tracking on the screen, wich should make, for example, real swordfighting [...]

Air Guitar Rocker
If there’s anything that makes me go “WTF???”, it’s this. If you think Guitar Hero, no matter how much fun it is, makes you look like a total moron, think again. With this toy, you can play air guitar for real, just like Bill & Ted. If you don’t know who Bill & Ted are, [...]
FC Mobile Portable Console
Here’s another more or less useless gadget. This portable gaming console can play original NES games. That’s right, you can put those old, huge cartridges in it to play them. Why this is such a bad idea? One, a NES cartridge is twice the size of the console itself. Two, there are plenty of emulators [...]
FPS vest
Some gamers can get pretty fanatical, and this is a great toy for such people. Deathmatching online is taken to a whole new level with this vest. It connects to the USB port and contains eight pneumatic cells that will make you feel every hit (except headshots, of course).
As for now, eight games are supported: [...]
Nyko Wireless Guitar
If the guitar that comes with Guiter Hero III for the Wii doesn’t satisfy you, this might be something interesting. The Nyko Front Man wireless guitar is completely compatible with the game and is designed to hold the Wiimote, so the cable won’t bother you anymore. It’s entirely powered by the batteries in the Wiimote, [...]
Electronic Chess Game
Here’s a cool chess set if you have nobody to play against. It’s a chess computer with 136 difficulty levels. On most chess computers, the computer just tells you his move and you have to move his piece yourself. Not this one! The board contains a magnetic system that moves the pieces, so you never [...]
Fridge Games
What are you supposed to do in the kitchen while you are waiting for your food to cook? Play games, of course! You don’t even need a tabletop to play games on, you can just put them on your fridge! Magnetic Sudoku, Crosswords and Hangman are available from Shiny Shack. If you’re wasting time in [...]
C64 Games for the Wii!
Yes! This is what I have been waiting for: Commodore 64 games are coming to the Wii Virtual Console! The games will cost 500 Wii points. They will only be available on the European channel, however. Lucky me for living in Belgium!
The first titles that will be available are International Karate and Uridium, and many [...]
Battle Tank Game
The Radio Controlled Battle Tank game set contains everything you need for a miniature tank battle. Two tiny tanks (an M1 Abrams and a Leopard, available in two different camouflage patterns), remote controls and a variety of building blocks for creating your own battlefield.
