Wii Rowing Machine Lets You Enjoy Hours of Sculling Monotony

CTA Digital's Wii Rowing Machine
Given Nintendo's illustrious tradition of inspiring absurd and hilarious accessories, it requires a significant amount of creativity, ingenuity and skill to develop new products worthy of their ridiculous predecessors. Acting as a shining beacon among a wasteland of wacky Nintendo peripherals, CTA Digital somehow manages to systematically release awe-inspiring add-ons.

With the company's newest offering, the Wii Rowing Machine, gamers simply strap their feet into "foot pedals" and snap the Wiimote into a paddle-cradle to enjoy hours of rowing monotony. The gear is apparently compatible with various titles, including 'Wii Fit Plus' and 'Wii Sports Resort,' but it might be more enjoyable as a spectator sport. While it probably won't provide the devastating entertainment of another mind-blowing CTA creation, the Bowling Ball, it should still supply plenty of friendly point-and-laugh fun. (The video, posted after the break, certainly does; pay attention to the corresponding paddle-action between the player and the game when the narrator gives the "add realism" line.) [From: Engadget]
