What’s the deal Nintendo? Americans deserve a black Wii as much as the next country. Who kept your console in demand and out of stock all these years? We’ve killed countless HDTVs with our Wiimotes. It makes kids do this. Why Nintendo? Why?

Do people in the UK and Ireland really need a dark Wii on November 6th? As part of a limited edition bundle no less. that includes Wii Sports Resort and a Wii MotionPlus dongle. The rest of Europe will get the bundle on November 20th. Plus they get a black Classic Controller Pro and other black Wii accessories.

Say hello to my little friend. Pow, pow, pow, pow. We all know that there are ten million Wii controller accessories, but this one means business. This is a 1:1 scale Heckler & Koch MP5 sub-machine gun for the Wii.

Instead of using Nintendo’s own controllers for the gun, the that made it implemented full Wiimote, nunchuck and MotionPlus functionality into it. Plus it has a built-in rechargeable battery that charges via USB and a built-in speaker. It will also rumble when you get hit in supported games.

Right when Nintendo finally puts some black on your Wiimote, Nyko is dropping four new candy colors for its Wand Wii remote.

Looks like Nyko is following Nintendo closely, offering the same blue and pink color choices that Nintendo is offering in Japan. There’s also black and purple. They should be available now for $29.99.

Look what we have here. Nintendo is gearing up for the holidays, and now we have some black Wii gear with some price info and a November 16th release date. This black Wiimote comes with a MotionPlus add-on and retails for $50.

The black Nunchuck is available by itself for $20. Sadly though, there is still no news of a black Wii in the US to go with them. What’s up with that Nintendo? Maybe we will see it soon.

The Nintendo Wii proved for the first time that a video game console doesn’t always make players fat and lazy. With the introduction of Wii Fit and the motion required to play Wii sports many gamers found that playing video games could be a work out. Thrustmaster has announced new accessories for the Wii, including some for Wii Fit users.

The Elite Fitness Pack+ NW features a pair of weights for your wrists or ankles, a riser for the balance board to make it a step aerobic platform, a pedometer, a workout mat, and a carry bag. The kit will also be offered with only the riser, mat, and pedometer for $29.99.

The latest news to hit us from the Tokyo Game Show is this new limited edition Wii Sport Resort bundle that comes with a pair of MotionPlus accessories. The bundle will arrive on October 12th for $60.

So you save $10 if you bought the $50 Sport Resort with MotionPlus and a second $20 MotionPlus separately. Not Earth shattering news, but it’s something from the big N. Wii Sports Resort has already sold more than 1.25 million units in the United States alone, so it’s the least they could do.

If you’ve been keeping up with the Jones’, you’ll want to make sure that you get every Wii peripheral they have as well. That includes the Wii Steering Wheel II. It’s available now for hardcore Wii Mario Kart enthusiasts.

I hear ya. How is this any different from the other Wii steering wheels? Well, it fits a Wiimote that is rocking the Motion Plus. Other than that, it’s the usual cheap plastic wiimote holder.

The MotionPlus may have taken a full year to arrive on the scene, but now that it’s here it’s doing pretty well. Overall video game sales dropped in June for the first time since 2000, but Nintendo can’t complain. 361,700 Wii consoles and 766,500 DS units shipped in June, but the big surprise is that the company also managed to sell 169,000 Wii MotionPlus units.

That’s not including the bundled ones like the one packaged with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 (that sold 272,400 units). Plus you have to take into account that Wii Sports Resort has yet to be released.

Motion detection is all the rage in the video game industry now. From the Wiimote to the Wii MotionPlus add-on and even the accelerometer in the iPhone. The Acceleglove uses aspects from all to create an awesome gaming glove.

Using the Wiimote, you can make general movements but nothing specific, like finger movements and the like. The Acceleglove puts accelerometers in the fingers of the glove so you can make more complicated hand gestures. It was developed by AthroTronix and at the moment the Acceleglove can only detect some hand motions like say pinching. But the potential is huge.

We know that you like to get all nerdy with your Wii on occasion and swing around a lightsaber while your little dog looks on in his Princess Leia slave costume. Well, if you’re going to nerd out, you may as well do it with officially licensed Wii accessories.

We’ve seen our share of Wii lightsabers, but they just aren’t endorsed by Lucas’ money machine. This one is. This lightsaber glows, and Bensussen Deutsch & Associates have plans for a matching blaster too. The accessories don’t make room for MotionPlus, but so what. They’ll be shipping with Star Wars - The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes, a game that doesn’t support MotionPlus.

If you can count on anything, it’s Wii peripherals. They just keep coming. Thrustmaster has launched the Tennis Duo Pack NW for Nintendo Wii. It is a must have accessory for the release of the two highly anticipated Nintendo Wii titles and the Wii MotionPlus device. Plus, if you must throw the Wiimote at your TV, it might as well be dressed up as a Tennis racquet. Both tennis racquets feature string and grip positioning with a compact design and realistic measurements.

The Duo Pack will feature ultra real drop shots, lobs, powerful forehands, passing shots and more. The Thrustmaster Tennis Duo Pack NW will be available for $24.99 by mid June 2009.

Sports games traditionally are not my favorite genre. I never bought a sports game for the Xbox 360, PS2, or PS3. I have bought a few sports games for the Wii though that are lots of fun to play thanks to the cool Wii controls.

EA’s Tiger Wood’s PGA Tour 10 is likely to be the best golfing game of the year on the Wii and EA announced that the game has now shipped to retailers around the country. The game is available with the Wii MotionPlus accessory or without it.

When the Wii first launched it didn’t take long for a myriad of accessories to spring up for the console. You could get swords, shields, and sports equipment made of foam or plastic to slip your controllers into for more realism.

With the new Wii MotionPlus accessory coming all of the accessories that gamers have collected for the Wii will need to be replaced. Sakar has announced that it will be launching a full line of accessories for Wii MotionPlus equipped controllers.

When I first got my Wii I spent lots of time playing Wii Sports golf. I got good at the game and decided that I wanted a better challenge and picked up one of the Tiger Woods games, which was much more complicated, but lots of fun.

EA has announced that it is moving the launch date for the next Tiger Woods gamed called Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. The launch date has been moved up by one week to June 8 for the golf game and the Grand Slam Tennis for Wii will be launched at the same time.

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.
