We've seen the carnage that Wii remotes can inflict: TV's have been destroyed and good old human flesh can barely stand up to the wiicked remotes, but we've never hear of anyone killing their dog before. Poor Kathy White, of Marquette, MI, almost did exactly that while playing 'Wii Bowling.' Right around the recent holidays, her five month old miniature Sheltie, Ozzy, jumped up in front of Kathy ...

'Samba de Amigo' is barreling towards the Wii, and we all understand that it'll be a lot less exciting without the Wii Maracas. Thanks to Amazon's quick trigger finger, we now know that Sega's Wiimote accessories will go for $14.99 per pair, and if all goes to plan, they'll be shipping out on September 23rd. Of course, we'd suggest you pocket that and just craft your own wildly colored (and ...

We knew this one was coming, but we didn't know the details. Nintendo busted out the new MotionPlus Wiimote add-on at its E3 keynote today. The device, which attaches to the rear of the controller, will be used to tighten up and refine motion sensing on the Wii, and its tweaks will be levied in a new game that will be shipping with it called Wii Sports Resort. The console-maker says the ...

You've probably seen the silly little additions various companies are producing for Nintendo's Wii that make it look like a tennis racket or golf club. But, we're guessing you've never seen one quite like this before. Some intrepid Wii gamers have found a way to get themselves into the game in a super immersive way. The father-son team turned a toy horse mounted on springs into a sort of giant ...

After nearly a year's worth of flying Wii-mote mishaps, Nintendo is offering a free protective grip sleeve for all Wii owners. Yes, for free. Beginning with shipments going out today, all Wii consoles, Wii remotes and copies of 'Wii Play' (which comes with an extra remote) will include the free anti-slip grip sleeve. Stores are expected to get the shipments towards the middle of October or ...

Those Wiimotes: They're dangerous if you didn't know. TV's, windows, spouses... none are safe from the danger of the flying Wiimote. But that's where Nerf comes in. The company that made sports safe for pansies is now making video games safe for pansies. You may not normally think of video games as something that has to be soft with rounded corners, but the Wii is no ordinary gaming machine. All ...
