It’s always interesting to watch the market get flooded with accessories when a new revolutionary product is released. Good examples would be the iPod and Wii. It seems like you can’t look anywhere without seeing an iPod dock or some strange weapon-themed holder for your Wiimote. It seems that the Eee PC may be added to that list.
According to a market research made by the NPD Group, video game sales went up 34% on February and reached the high number of $1.33 billion. It doesn’t matter if there are gaming consoles in short supply, like the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360, because people keep buying games.
I suppose I’m just really into reporting on Wii accessories, like the ones from Nyko. I found out about one Wii accessory that isn’t available to the general public, but really should be.
This Wiimote attachment is part of a special study by Kanav Kahol and Dr. Marshall Smith by the Banner Hospital Chain. This study pitted gamers against doctors on games that require a steady hand. I believe that the gamers actually did better than the doctors, but it sounds like this could be the result of the gamers’ experience with the Wiimotes.
What’s the easiest way to suck all of the fun out of your favorite activity? Just throw in a little exercise and you’ll be sure to hate it within just a few minutes. Now I’m not talking about things like the Wii which get you up and make you move a bit while playing your game, that’s actually kind of fun. I’m talking about the Gamercize, which makes you keep stepping or pedaling in order for you to keep playing your PS2. We covered the Gamercize for your PS2 when they came out back in September, but the creators have developed a new version that’s sure to make you hate your job more than you already do. That’s right, Gamercize PC.
Let there be more Gadget Glyphs
Wii accessories are getting as common as the games people play. Some are even kicking up the imagination quotient a notch to give players not only a physical experience – such as for sports video games – but also a fantasy experience. Witness the Wii Hero Pack by Camy International.
Though some will enjoy the inevitable Zelda gaming fantasies, why stop there? Imagine pulling the sword of Gryffindor from the sorting hat in the first Harry Potter video game, or wielding the sword and shield a digital Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe? Any video game that has a sword and shield and runs on Wii will enjoy the added dimension of hacking and slashing with hilt and blade, even if it’s much shorter and made of foam.
Although the Wii looks as though it comes up short in the shooting game department, accessories for this console are anything but scarce. The latest would be this Rifle Gun Prop that makes your Wiimote and Nunchuck controllers more menacing than ever. The Wiimote is placed in front of the gun, while the Nunchuk fits in comfortable into the handle. We all know the Army is using the Wii for therapeutic treatment at this point in time, so is there a possibility for them to improve their aim? Nah, not until a game that involves real world shooting physics emerge. Still, if you want a higher degree of realism the next time you knock off your enemies from a distance, the Rifle Gun Prop retails for $16.58.
Most people would agree that playing the Wii is a social experience, and it is always fun to have some friends and family over to sweat it out with each other. What better way to hold a Wii party than to have the Nyko Party Station? This unique peripheral is meant to sit in the middle of your living room, featuring slots for 4 Wiimotes, a storage drawer for Wii accessories, a hand cooling fan, 4 numeric LED displays for group scores, 4 freezable cup holders, and get this - a center bowl with enough room to store chips and snacks for everyone. I guess having clean Wiimotes after snacking on some Doritos and Lays is out of the question. The Nyko Party Station retails for $24.99.
