Wii MotionPlus: built-in or add-on?
A few days ago Nintendo announced the Wii MotionPlus, wich will allow much more accurate motion tracking with the Wiimote. Even though the pictures showed a small device you could just clip on the Wiimote, it’s not certain yet it will be available as an add-on. Nintendo apparently hasn’t decided wether they will manufacture them [...]
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 [...]

A Real Wii Crossbow
Link’s Crossbow Training is fun, but the Wii Zapper isn’t exactly a crossbow. So here’s a new controller that IS a crossbow! And not just any crossbow, it has a laser sight!

The first titles that will be available are International Karate and Uridium, and many [...]

Retractable Wiimote wrist strap
Let’s face it: the included Wii remote wrist strap sucks. It’s uncomfortable to wear and doesn’t stay on your wrist as it’s supposed to do. This strap does the job a lot better. In comes with a velcro cuff that stays on your wrist properly and a retractable strap that can extend to 13 inches. [...]
Wii-style speakers
This 2.1 speaker set goes perfectly with your Nintendo Wii. The subwoofer looks like the Wii itself, while the sattelite speakers look like Nunchucks. Also, the subwoofer has a dock you can place your Wii in, although I don’t think it’s a good idea to place a game console next to a booming subwoofer.

Wireless Wii nunchuck
No matter how much I love the Wii, the annoying cable between the Wiimote and the Nunchuck sometimes just ruins it (especially with Wii Sports Boxing). Why didn’t Nintendo make the Nunchuck (and the Classic Controller) wireless? I can forgive the mistake with the Nunchuck, but the Classic Controller should have been wireless! Okay, the [...]
