ezGear's Wii MusicPack turns playing Wii Music into an embarrassing photo op photo

You'd be hard press to find someone who can play Wii Music and not look like a complete tool. So why stop with just the Wii Remote and nunchuck? Why not take it to the next level?

ezGear has announced that it will be releasing the Wii MusicPack, a set of instrument-shaped peripherals that snap onto your existing Wii controllers for the authentic music experience. The set includes a condunctor's baton which also doubles as drumsticks, a violin shell, and a saxophone.

I'm still not sold on Wii Music as a form of entertainment or musical expression, and I'm not sure turning the Wii Remote into a violin would do it for me. Still, things like this must continue to sell, whether it be Wii boxing gloves, guns, swords, or shields. Figure out what we're missing and make your fortune.

Does it actually do anything? No? Then we don't need it.

The "Clueless Soccer Moms" and "Small Stupid Shits" associations disagree.

A chill just crept down my back. I don't know what this means, but it's certainly pretty dumb.

If I ever played the game with that saxophone peripheral, I couldn't look at myself in the mirror afterward.

I thought the point was to pretend you were actually using the instruments, since using your imagination is half the fun of these types of games.

Guess I was wrong.

I WANT THE FUCKING VIOLIN SHELL!

Both violins and Lincoln Town Cars are scientifically proven to make you popular. Or at least help you get some action.

worst marketing gimmick ever!.

lucky for us Wiimusic is failing at the retail level so I don't see this having much success

Maybe I'd need to have young kids or be a clueless adult to understand why this would sell even a single unit but I suppose it will make somebody some money.

@elsteveo:

No, the fscking developers who are currently in a pathetic waggle fetish are to blame. Don't blame the console because of the idiots who make the games for it.

@CypherVR:

Awesome animation! And as a Wii owner who is sick of this waggle BS, I heartily agree with your first statement.

It's the same exact thing as the sports equipment for wii sports... and honestly, the same thing as a gun for fps's.
