You’d figure that if LEGO released a Wii Remote they’d do it right and let you build the whole thing from scratch. But seeing as there are small kids and even smaller geriatrics who regularly use the Wii, LEGO saw that it was more fitting to introduce a branded Wiimote with a little less need for technical know-how. So we can’t build our own LEGO Wiimotes, we’ll deal with it. Instead, we get a few slots made for customizing your... Continue reading

The Wiimote is much more of a versatile tool than I think even Microsoft could have imagined. People have hacked the Wiimote to create some zany and awesomely practical mods. But I think “lawnmower control” is a new one. The Casmobot Lawnmower is navigated using nothing but a hacked Wiimote and the crafty engineering by several scientists at the University of Southern Denmark. The mower syncs with the Wiimote via Bluetooth, allowing the user to control the cutting edge, the... Continue reading

This thing just has bloodshed written all over it. $14.99 gets you yet another unintentional weapon to add to your rapidly growing armory. Link [via]

As much as we hate the Wii, we know a bunch of you assholes really dig it, so here you go. Brando has taken it upon themselves to update the Wii Steering Wheel, creating the aptly titled Wii Steering Wheel II. The second version offers MotionPlus integration and a slick, stream-line design. Not too mention you don’t need any additional batteries, since it’s pretty much just a form-fit piece of plastic. Fricken’ Wii is such a racket. You can grab... Continue reading

Sure, the Wii might be the worst damn console in history according to our very official and scientific calculations. But the Nintendo gaming platform must have its fans out there somewhere, right? So, for all three of you at the Pleasantville Senior Rest Home, we’ve got a real treat for you and your saggy-diapered, Wiimote-wielding asses. Pimped out with an array of 20,000 crystals, this $4,000 shitbox Wii is covered in shiny Mario gayness goodness, with possibly the faggiest depiction... Continue reading

“Son, we’re going to the 7-11 for dinner. Put your shoes on.” “But father! I’ve lost my sneakers whilst playing in the woods this morning!” “You little shit. Those shoes cost me $17 from Walmart. Are you trying to embarrass me?” “No!” “Well I’m hungry as shit. Here. In the mean time, put these Wiimote covers on your feet.” “I’m gonna become Mario! Wait till I find Peach in the forest and we find Yos-” “Shut up already and put... Continue reading

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,... Continue reading

I warned you about the Wii. Some of you listened, most did not. Well, I hope all the Wii owners who couldn’t refrain from calling me a PS3/360 fanboy in the comments all crack their LCD screens while playing sub par games. I’ll be a fan of anything and I mean anything as long as it isn’t the Wii. Look who’s laughing now. Link [via]

Ever heard that song “Rocked By Rape” that’s made up of AC/DC samples and clips of Dan Rather? No? Ok, then go here. Great. So that’s the Evolution Control Committee. They sure do some neat stuff with them there musical instruments. If you watch the above video, you can see how they use a Wiimote to control their mashups when in concert. The setup uses Ableton Live, infrared technology, a touchscreen and a thimble that keeps loops playing. It looks... Continue reading

For every Wii game released there exists a useless peripheral for the Wiimote. Wii Sports received those lame themed extensions for the controller just so that when you’re flailing your arms around like an idiot, you’ve got a greater chance of hitting someone. The release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is no exception to this fact. For $20 bucks, you can equip two Wiimotes with lightsaber extensions to bring a whole new feel of immersion to your game. Or,... Continue reading
