Thrustmaster’s latest accessory is for all of you Wii owners who aren’t down with Tony Hawk and his official skateboard accessories. The T-Freestyle NW was specially designed to play nice with all skate and snowboard games on the Wii.

It’s crafted from genuine maple, and features a “skull” design on the top. It looks…Um…cheap and we sense many broken ankles, despite a set of safety stoppers that are included.

You thought the inflatable horse peripheral was a bad idea. That was before your kid could get a whole baby to use with their Wii. Every time I think that we have seen the height of weirdness in Wii-land, they drop something even weirder on us.

Bundled with the upcoming Wii game Baby and Me (in Australia), this doll-mote uses the Wiimote’s speaker to make the baby cry or laugh. You can even use the Wii Balance Board, which allows you to burp the baby, rock the baby and teach “her” to walk. (Which she will never learn because she’s just a doll with a Wiimote crammed in her insides.)

Anyone who spends lots of time playing the Wii can tell you that the batteries in the remote control don’t last that long with heavy use. Replacing all those batteries can be a hassle and Thrustmaster has been offering a line of charging docks for a while now for the Wii.

Thrustmaster has unveiled a couple new charging solutions for the Wii including the T-Charge Stand Contactless+ NW and the T-Charge Quattro+ NW. The contactless solution replaces the stand of the Wii and has spots to charge two remotes with no contacts and you don’t even have to take the silicone sleeves off the controllers.

It’s not rocket science. First it was Microsoft’s Xbox 360, then the PlayStation 3. Now Netflix’s “Watch Instantly” is coming to Nintendo’s Wii. At least that’s what the word is, according to StreamingMedia, who has an undisclosed source that has confirmed that Nintendo is currently testing Netflix streaming on the Wii. And that it will be available “very soon.”

Hopefully that means before the holidays, but it could mean anything. If you have a Wii, you are used to waiting anyway. Waiting for better games, waiting for a better storage option, waiting for something better than 480p…

That black Nintendo Wii bundle that we in the US are not getting is hitting Europe on November 6th has shown up on Amazon UK.

The price is £179.99 but Amazon has it for £164.99, which is about $269. Adding to the mystery of this whole Black Wii saga, the identical bundle in white doesn’t have that £15 discount, but Amazon is sweetening the deal with your choice of two free titles, including FIFA10. There’s still the £142.99 white, non-bundled Wii of course. for a lot less.

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.

Word is that NVIDIA has won a contract with Nintendo for an upcoming handheld game console. Some are describing it as the “successor of the DS/DSi”. Speculation is that the new device would be available around 2010. If true, would this be the current Tegra? Or the next-generation Tegra?

The DSi isn’t that old, so I’m wondering if we are really talking about the next Wii here. Even if it is for a handheld, this would certainly give a nVidia a foot in the door for the next Wii. It’s just rumor for now, but interesting.

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.

As you know, Sony has moved into motion control gaming and the Blaze PS3 Motion Freedom 3D Controller will let you interact with Sega Tennis for the PS3, letting you play Tennis with real life motions just like the Wii. As well as other games. So heck, why not have the controller look just like a Wiimote?

We don’t know when the Blaze PS3 Motion Freedom 3D Controller will be released, or how much it will cost, but we wonder what Nintendo thinks about this design?

You own an exercise bike. You also own a Wii. Why not put them together and save some space in your home? Why not indeed. The Cyberbike is being developed by Bigben Interactive and comes bundled with some hippie game where you have to clean up the planet with your pedalling power.

It’s also compatible with Mario Kart, though I’m guessing you will have a hard time keeping up on that game. The bike is scheduled for a January release in Europe, but we don’t have any pricing details yet. Our guess is that it won’t cost much and will break down pretty quickly.

Here’s something that will keep the spouses of gamers happy. The Xbox Generations Gaming Tower and the Wii Aspect Gaming Tower are two pieces of actual furniture that are designed to keep your gaming consoles nice and organized.

Both towers can hold up to 16 games, 4 controllers and the required guitar. The Wii Aspect Gaming Tower holds 4 Wii Remotes, 2 nunchucks, 1 classic controller and a guitar. Your wife will be happy that you cleaned up your act a little. Don’t you think?

The original Wii Fit was a huge seller for Nintendo with the game topping chart lists and selling as many copies as Nintendo could ship. Since Wii Fit launched it has sold almost 8 million copies in the US alone. Sunday marked the official launch of the new Wii Fit Plus.

The new game comes in two bundles, one has the game software and the balance board and the other is the software alone for users who purchased the original Wii Fit. Nintendo also says that the game will import user data from the original Wii Fit to the new one as well.

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.

Just when you think that you’ve seen it all with the Wii, some Wii accessories can still surprise you. The $50 Darth Vader Nintendo Wii Sensor Bar Holder is just what it sounds like. It holds your sensor bar and makes it look like a lightsaber. Sorta.

So while you are swinging that Wiimote, you can imagine Vader encouraging you to use the force and join the darkside. You of course will shout NEVERRRRR and all of your friends will get scared and leave. It’s not your fault Vader only speaks to you and that no one else can hear him.

You know what the Wii has been missing? The good old old Louisville Slugger. Makes sense when you think about it. Louisville Sluggers are for more than just baseball. I’m thinking a Wii home invasion title, where you wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of a robber. You could get points for different weapon choices. The good old old baseball bat is a favorite of home defense.

Then there’s all of the fighting games where you use a bat. Well, now you’ll be swinging a real one. Well, not real, but better than a plain wiimote. The Force Unleashed is a whole new game when wielding a bat.
