On the left is the Nintendo Wiimote, beloved by many children (and adults) all over the globe for its intuitive control and general funtime whimsy. On the right is the Stix 200 controller , a PC peripheral that, with a collection of online games, attempts to borrow some of that whimsy and transplant it to the Wii-less. Should the Wii go home and give up? Should it heck; Kotaku have been playing with...

Filed under: News , Peripherals Nyko's Wing is the first truly wireless Classic Controller alternative (that isn't actually a GameCube controller ): instead of a short cord, it communicates with the Wiimote via a wireless adapter. Unfortunately, it also looks about as comfortable to use as the Turbo Touch 360 . The patriotic-looking Wing runs on two AAA batteries, and can even recharge them while...

This British thought it would be funny to stuff a pillow in his shirt and slide along the floor. He also made fun of overweight people and slapped his ass for good measure. Maybe he should have spent more time tethering his Wiimote to his wrist and less time being a complete dipshit. [...]

FROM GAMERTELL - Some of you might remember a few weeks ago when I covered the ezShot from ezGear, a lightweight gun frame designed for the WiiMote that I didn’t recommend. Now for something a bit more positive: The Dual Trigger Gun NW by Thrustmaster is a step in the right direction for… MORE » Keep up with the latest gadget goodness! - Subscribe to our feed →

Sixense has spent the last 18 months working on a new 3D input device that could potentially revolutionize the way we use the computer, and will definitely draw comparisons with the Wiimote where gaming is concerned. It relies on realistic movements to control how you interact within the game, but is way more advanced than Nintendo's offering since it is based on precise tracking relative to a base...

Filed under: News IGN's Daemon Hatfield spent some time with EA's Skate It , playing with both the Wiimote control scheme and the more novel Balance Board-based scheme. Getting real (non-demo/tutorial) gameplay for the first time, Hatfield described the setup that motivates your character to find things and skate them. The character Reda from Skate returns with a camera to document all your tricks,...

The Wiimote Controller Pocket is probably the lamest excuse for a Wii accessory we’ve ever seen. This amazing device amounts to little more then a dressed up tissue box that says Wii on it. It’s available in 3 colors and of course the idea is that it can hold your Wiimote and nunchuk. And in [...]

Filed under: Mods Joe D's concept of a beautiful, Atari VCS -style Wiimote, Nunchuk, Perfect Shot , and Classic Controller makes us want to slap some wood veneer over the shiny white controllers right away. While thirty years and Jonathan Ive have clouded our minds, one look at something like this reminds us that real electronics look like furniture. Microsoft knows this ! Despite being one of the...

Before you start to clamor and ask where to buy them, I have to ruin your moment. Sorry, but contrary to popular opinion, some women don't tease -- these controllers are not real. Dreamed up by Flickr user Joe D! , he mentions that the classic controller and Wiimote have a backlight, which you can learn to do at WiimoteMods.com . The wood paneling look is a cool idea, although it makes me think of...

Wii Physics is a clever little homebrew app. You use the Wiimote to rotate, size and place objects on a stage. Pulleys, ropes, gears and joints can be used to connect objects together, and when you press the play button, a 2D physics system is turned on, causing the objects to fall and interact with each other.

In the market for a new digicam? To be available this November, here's something from Olympus worth holding out for: the Stylus 1050 SW. Right off the bat, let me say that, contrary to what the name suggests, this digicam doesn't offer any stylus navigation. It has, however, full touch capability. Well, not so much as touch, but rather quasi- motion-sensing tech. The Tap Control Technology is designed...
