Forget other Wii peripherals. This one makes your Wiimote look like an airplane that also sports QWERTY keys. This one is compatible with the Nyko Wand and not so compatible with the Wiimote because it lacks Nyko’s proprietary Trans-Port Technology.

What the Type Pad Pro does is transform an ordinary Nintendo controller into a sort of airplane looking full QWERTY keyboard. Through Trans-Port communication, the A and B buttons on the Wand are relocated to the Type Pad while the pad itself integrates with the Wii through a wireless USB dongle.

If you have to throw your Wiimote at the TV, it might as well resemble a dart. Now it can thanks to this new add-on kit from PEGA that turns your Wiimote controller into a giant… dart.

It’s designed specifically for games like PDC World Championship Darts. The kit adds a soft arrow tip and feather-shaped tail to your Wii controller, making it more like a lawn dart than a regular dart. Hey, if you have to throw it through your TV it might as well be dressed appropriately.

You’ll be seeing more gadgets with induction technology. It allows you to charge gadgets with no wires. Just place the gadget on the charging surface and it’ll charge up like magic. Which makes you a wizard. Not really. Now you can charge your Wiimotes without taking the rubber sleeves off. For those of you who actually use them.

The Energizer Wiimote Induction Charging System lets you just set your Wiimotes on it and it’ll charge them up automatically. I can’t wait until we are charging everything like this. I want an electric car that can charge just by parking it in a certain spot.

Few things in life are better than shooting zombies with a plastic gun. Unfortunately, most of the gun accessories for the Wii are pretty boring. Gamers want something that stands out. A gun they can be proud of. One that they will give a female name too and tote with them in their backpack.

Well, this new Resident Evil Shot Blaster is just the ticket. It shows that you are serious about your zombie hunting and spend way too much time in your mother’s basement. You can purchase the gun for $29.95 online from Capcom. It includes Resident Evil-style Wiimote and Nunchuk skins.

Looks like the rumors were pretty close. After months of silence, Nintendo has announced a date for US availability of its MotionPlus Wiimote accessory.

We figured it would be here by now, but maybe they just needed some time to perfect it. On June 8th Nintendo will ship the MotionPlus add-on to the US. The device will cost you $19.99, or after until July 26th you can pick up the Wii Sports Resort for $49.99, which comes bundled with the accessory.

Today we bring you something new in a Wii peripheral to throw at/into your TV. Both the two and four pound Riiflex Wiimote weights have become a reality and you my scrawny friends are just months away from getting all buff in the arms.

One is for your Wiimote, one is for your nunchuck. A pair of the two pounders will set you back $34.95. The heavier ones will cost you $5 more per set. They won’t make you Lou Ferigno, but they will help with your flabby girlly arms.

Peripheral manufacturer Logic3 wanted to copy the Wii’s Nunchuk and in order to avoid lawsuits, they gave it the clever name of FunChuks. They are essentially miniature, brightly colored Wii nunchuks that somewhat resemble vegetables.

They’ll cost you $20 each and are a fairly straightforward Wii nunchuk replacement, except for the extra “C” button that they threw on them hoping to stymie lawyers. They also look like they will explode and create a Jackson Pollack masterpiece on your floor.

You knew it had to happen. They actually intend to make us do serious exercise with this Wii-Fit thing. A patent-pending peripheral called “riiflex” will turn your Wiimotes into dumbells thanks to some 2lb and 5lb cases. The design is pretty interesting. These even feature a trigger port for access to all the Wiimote’s buttons.

They are available for preorder deposit. While the price is still undecided, they estimate that these weights will cost you around $30 per unit. I’m sure they are already planning a way to include the nunchuk. One question. Do serious weight-lifting meatheads even use the Wii?

Wii-Fit can be a lot of hard work I suppose. It’s all about exercise after all. Your feet probably could do with a massage during that workout. These silicone covers were specially designed to cover the Wii Fit Balance Board, and it also doubles as an anti-slip mat(Clever BS) for those of you who sweat so profusely that you often slip on your own stinky excretions.

Amazon is carrying this thing for $9.99. All I can think about is how this thing deserves it’s own late-night info-mercial right next to the Sham-wow. I’m calling BS on all it’s claims and I dare you to spend $9.99 and prove me wrong. This is just a $10 piece of silicone.

It had to happen and I’m surprised it took this long. Someone had to clone the Wiimote. That someone is Nyko. According to Mark Wilson of Gizmodo, who had a chance to play with it at CES, the device is pretty impressive, with no tangible difference aside from the red, white and blue color scheme.

The quality and response seems dead on. But aside from one-upping the Wiimote on good looks, “the Wand” has one advantage. Nyko is using it as the basis for their new Trans-Port peripheral technology. Where most Wii peripherals like the Zapper use mechanical contacts to link a trigger to an actual button on the Wiimote, Nyko makes this connection digitally.

We’ve covered our share of Wii guns here at the brick. Machine guns, Pistols, even the Wiimote assassination kit, but I believe this is the first rifle that is actually three weapons in one.

The Sure Shot Wii Rifle was unveiled at CES 2009. It’s from CTA Digital and features a removable stock and barrel, three modes, and is compatible with nearly all shooting games on the Wii. That last bit is a big plus. You can hit the link below to check out a video.

You can use the Wiimote alone as one of any 60 instruments featured in Wii Music. But that’s no fun. You need cheap plastic to really rock out with your orchestra. Plastic in the shape of a violin, saxophone and a pair of drumsticks. Now you’re rockin! Break out the formal-wear and pass some martinis around and your livingroom concert is complete.

The eGear WiiMusic Pack includes all three instrument attachments. The drumstick doubles as a conductor’s baton. That’s still 56 pieces short of a full Wii Music symphony orchestra, but it’s a start. For $30 it will make you feel like you are more then just a Wii music pretender.

We’ve covered our share of Wii boxing gloves, but at long last Nintendo and Everlast have teamed up to deliver a knock out with these new boxing gloves. Of course they will cost you. After all, you recognize the name right? Everlast is the big time product maker of all kinds of real Boxing gear, so the gloves will cost you $30. Look at it this way. After you buy them at that price, you’ll be good and ready to knock somebody out.

I have always hated the look of the Gamecube controller, which is basically what we have here. It’s called simply the “Classic Controller.” Sure, there are plenty of other gamepads in this style, but not many get that fugly Gamecube look as close to the original as this one. And look at those autofire switches. It’s available in black, white, and blue on December 4th in Japan. You can pre-order one now for $29.90.

By now you’re well aware of the upcoming Nintendo Wii Speak peripheral. It’s a microphone that lets you communicate with other Wii users online. Some of you have eagerly waited for it. Ars Technica discovered that it comes with a 16 character code to download the “Wii Speak” channel. Thing is, it’s a one time use code. You can not replace it if lost.

That’s right, you can NEVER sell it, NEVER give it away and NEVER use it on another Wii Console other than the one it was downloaded on. I hear ya. It sucks. I consider it a scam on Nintendo’s part. I for one won’t be buying this useless turd. Nintendo isn’t going to tell me what I can do with hardware I purchase. I’m gonna get a friend to buy it and download onto my system. Then I’ll act dumb when it doesn’t work on theirs later.
