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.

Now when you throw your Wiimote at the TV, you can do so in style. This plastic football accessory might even make Madden sell better on the Wii. It comes from CTA Digital, the company behind the Wii bowling ball and iPhone steering wheel. They are no strangers to weird accessories.

This Football for your Wii opens up to hold your Wiimote and the face buttons of your controller are on top of the football. It’s compatible with Madden 10, Madden 09 All-Play, NCAA Football 09 All-Play, and several other football games.

Nyko continues to push the envelope when it comes to Wii accessories. Their latest Charge Station IC takes things to the next level. It holds two Wiimotes using magnets and charges the controllers via induction.

And it doesn’t matter if they are wearing silicon sleeves or have the Wii Motion Plus add-ons. There’s also an extra USB port in back, just in case you want to charge something else. Nothing on price or availability just yet. It will likely fall into the $30-40 range.

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.

I have several game consoles in my home and between the PS3, Wii, and Xbox my entertainment center is very cluttered. My kids always leave games lying around and controllers everywhere because there isn’t much room to put things up and they are little slobs.

Cambre Products has announced a new game console storage solution that will work with any console system called the Game On. The storage system can be hung on a wall and has an upper shelf that holds video games and a lower shelf designed to hold the console.

We love video games around here. Whether we’re playing the Xbox 360, the PS3 or even an old Atari 2600. We thought we would take a look at the history of gaming consoles from 1972 to the present. You grew up with the vintage consoles, you play the new ones, so take a walk down memory lane and revisit all your favorites from the massive list below.

The PS3 Quad Dock Pro has the capability to charge up to four Dual Shock 3 controllers at once, while the Xbox 360 Quad Dock Pro charges up to four Xbox 360 rechargeable battery packs.

The Mario Kart Pullback toys were cool, so was the giant r/c Mario Kart racer, but this set of Mini Mario Kart rc cars from Brando gets it right. Each car is rechargeable and about the size of the iPod shuffle. Each comes with a 6-direction IR controller and shell and banana accessories. That’s what I’m talking about. You need accessories to really play Mario Kart outside of the Wii. They are available in Mario, Luigi, Koopa and Yoshi. Available for $24 each. Finally you can have real life Mario races.

If you’re a fan of the classic arcade game arkanoid, then like me you’ve been waiting for it to hit the Wii. Until it does, you can at least play it on your Nintendo DS. And if you remember playing the classic NES version with the special paddle controller, then you know there’s no other way to play it.

Taito has made a limited number of these plug-in accessories for the DS, so you can up your high score. They’re available in white, black, pink and silver. Unfortunately they aren’t officially available in the US so you’ll have to find an importer. At only $26.90 each it’s well worth it..

According to the latest NPD Group report for game sales in May, this is the fourth month in a row that Nintendo has come out on top for the number 1 AND number two spot for console sales. The Nintendo Wii and the handheld Nintendo DS were the two top-selling hardware units for May, 2008.

Nintendo sold over 675,000 Wii consoles in May and almost 453,000 Nintendo DS’s, which would probably explain all the new colors and designs they have been coming out with lately for the DS. Sony’s Playstation 3 followed with a little under 209,000 units sold and Microsoft sold 186,600 Xbox 360 units during the same period.

The Wii Fit hasn’t even hit shelves yet but you can bet that just like the Wii controllers you are going to start seeing loads of stuff trying to pry in and get its share of your gaming dollar. The first one we’ve seen so far is this set from Subsonic.
