Stupidity manifests itself as a Wii 8-in-1 weapon accessory kit photo

Taken by itself, this "Wii Weapon Kit 8-in-1 Bundle Set" by Dragon Electronics is pretty idiotic. Shipping with eight pieces designed to attach to the Wii remote and nunchuk, the goal is apparently to create a more immersive experience. Playing Resident Evil 4? Perhaps you might enjoy the "short knife pad" for all of your box-busting needs. Twilight Princess? Try the "shield pad" and "short sword pad" combo.

Like I said: pretty idiotic.

But the product features are even more nonsensical, touting such selling points as "amazing, exciting, fantastic and training body reaction," and "Physical exercise ideal Wii accessories product and good for health." I'm beginning to think the $27.95 price point might be worth the laughs.

So you're going to make one of the lowly editors do a review on it, right? Make Grim or Gregor do it.

Maybe I can't remember right, but which Wii game would you use the ax shell for? Being creative is one thing, crapping out useless hunks of plastic is another.

The Shield attaches to the Nunchuk and the sword to the Wiimote (left and right hands, respectively, under the usual control scheme). Link and I are both left-handed.

Ought I be offended???

I'm also amused at the thought of flailing a shield around trying to perform certain attacks... that's not dangerous at all.

Don't forget the "plastic wrapping" that's actually a cleverly disguised Plastic bag attachment for when you're playing Manhunt 2. That is.... IF you ever play Manhunt 2.

Also, despite advertising eight, it only contains seven pieces.

The eighth part is the extra part that goes on the front of the gun.

Taping the wiimote to your penis and waving it about breaks the seventh seal and unlocks the Eighth Peripheral of Doom.

Is there anyone out there with the abilityto manufacture plastic that hasn't jumped onto the Wii Stuff Bandwagon ? Use an old game, slap some Wii Controls on, sell it to gullible idiot and there you are (I don't mean the VC. At least,not much of it - Nintendo actually improved its games for the VC.), stinking rich.

Can't Nintendo sue them or something ?If I remember correctly, you have got to have a sort of license for making add-ons for anything - Wait, no. Or ?

It's not a bad idea for the manufacturers of this monstrosity considering how dumb Wii owners can be(I mean, they bought one in the first place didn't they?). It's just unfortunate that none of the actions performed in-game really resemble their real-life counterparts. It kinda makes a gun attachment a silly idea when the Wiimote is nothing but a mouse, and your cursor won't necessarily be where you're pointing.

what's even more hilarious is most of these(such as the Wiisaber) block the IR camera at the front of the wiimote, making it impossible to use in a huge chunk of wii titles as is.

This must be the best feature of any product ever:
"What's inside the box of Nintendo Wii Weapon Kit 8in1 Bundle Set"

Nice to see that they're actually including the product I bought...

Check out this shitty product's site, and look at the bulleted "benefits." The one about childsafe foam or w/e ends with, "no hazaro." Another says this crap promotes health and exercise...wtf?! Leave the house and go verse some wolves at hide-and-seek in the woods or play some lame game with a ball or balls. balls.

Hey, at least it's got a gun accessory, which actually DOES make some games more immersive.
