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 ...

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]

Nintendo has figured out their missing demographic! It’s the essential farmer sector! Finally, they’ve realized the Wii’s true calling with this new animal husbandry Wii controller. If anyone can tell me what exactly is going on here I’ll give you the biggest digital hug ever. Are they watching some sort of instructional video? Who knew they even made horse torsos ...

Designer Angela Moramarco created this AnatoWii project, demonstrating what the anatomy of the Wii console might look like if it had internal organs, rather than hardware. Consoles, in their own way, can become living, breathing members of our everyday life. Why shouldn’t they have their own anatomical charts? If we had to guess what organ composed the Wii, we would ...

Developed and built by robotics man Drew, this “walking machine” resembles a four-legged spider and walks with an unusual hoppish gait. Designed to entertain, entertain it does. Costing around $1000 to produce, one of the coolest things about this arachind bot is that it’s controlled with two sets of modified Wii Nunchucks. If you want to test the waters and ...

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 ...

Is this really necessary? Come on now. At this point the list of available Nintendo Wii accessories is getting out of control. What’s next? An egg whisk add-on that I can use to play those ridiculous cooking games? No thanks. Link

Project Natal could be headed to an Xbox near you! At least, that’s what sources are leading us to believe. If the speculation is correct, and as we all know, it ALWAYS is, than Microsoft will be releasing their motion-detecting Natal, not as a peripheral add-on, but as the major component of their next-gen console. So, what does this mean ...

See? This is what happens when you don’t believe me. You Wii owners must be really fucking excited by now. A vitality sensor add-on! It can measure your heartbeat! Guess what? You can do it without Nintendo’s overpriced hunk of plastic. Take two fingers, place on wrist, feel for pule – voila. I pity the fool who throws away their ...

The one thing the Nintendo Wii has going for it is the ability to download classic NES and SNES titles and play them at your free will. The problem is, the Wiimote sucks. It’s the worst controller in the world for playing games that require no more than a D-pad and two buttons. This nifty little adaptor from Komodo will ...
