Here’s a bitchin’ application for Adobe Flash/Flex developers. It’s called MoteDaemon and it’s kind of like Matt Damon except it allows you to create Wiimote-controlled applications for OS X. Now, you too can create your very own sub par Nintendo Wii games for your Mac.

To make your experience of making lousy games for old people and kids even easier, MoteDaemon comes with a test-drive application called WiiCockpit. Bill Byrne of MAKE swears that with one look at WiiCockpit’s code, an experienced Flash developer will quickly figure out how to integrate MoteDaemon. Let’s see if choice software can be developed using the Wii’s controller and OS X. Anything but the Wii at this point.

We’ve seen our share of awesome Wii-themed mods, including the Bloodstained Manhunt 2 Wii Case Mod, and even a mod for the Wii’s peripherals, like the Power Glove Wiimote mod. This case mod was commissioned for Kevin Smith himself, based around the ultra-geeky cult following of the movie Clerks.

Featuring figurines of the four main characters of the movie on one side, and a View Askew (Kevin Smith’s production company) logo on the other, with the Wiimote and Nunchuck branding the words “Silent Bob” and “Kevin Smith”, the Clerks case mod is a cool fanatic made design. In my opinion, the case mod seems to be designed to resemble the short-running animated series that was made for Clerks. (more…)

You want this for your Wii, you just didn’t know it yet. Nyko has unveiled a set of wireless Wiimote and Nunchucks for the Wii. Don’t lose control of your Nunchuck just because of your impressive wingspan.

A wireless receiver plugs into your Wimote, connecting to the Nunchuck extension via a 2.4 GHz band. Not many details are known of this new Wii accessory, but Nyko will release some more info when they present the device at CES. — Andrew Dobrow
