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.)

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.

This is a pretty cool idea. I wish I had thought of it. Modder goteking has turned a Wii remote into a music player. I never ever thought that I would see a Wiimote with headphones.

Under the hood is an iPod shuffle. Well, a fake iPod shuffle that has also been modified. It’s not often that we see a mod within a mod. It blows our minds. But mostly we just love how a Wiimote looks with headphones.

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.

Here’s a great hack that will merge your iPhone and your Wiimote. This is an OpenGL ES demo showing a Wiimote paired with the iPhone, using Bluetooth. The iPhone can then track the Wiimote’s orientation in real time. Pretty sweet.

It will be interesting to see what evolves from this project. Maybe one day soon you will be playing a smaller version of Wii games on your iPhone. Maybe Nintendo and Apple can get together and make games that use both a Wiimote and your iPhone…Like that could happen.

Wii accessories officially jump the shark with this Wii bowling ball. Now all you need are some fugly shoes and you are all set to break records by knocking down fake pins and being a dork. This “ultra-realistic accessory”, allows you to mimic all the critical motions of a “striking performance”.

It works by pressing the release button to open the ball in half, where you place the Wii remote inside and close the ball. Once the remote is inside, put your fingers in and hang your head in shame for buying this thing.

Nyko has their Wand, but now Mad Catz has become the second peripheral maker to try their hand at cloning the Wiimote. According to Mark over at Gizmodo, it’s promising.

He didn’t get any play time with it, but he got to hold it and play with buttons. Mad Catz’ “Remote For Nintendo Wii” feels the same in size and weight as a real Wiimote. Mad Catz guarantees that their Wiimote will fit in the sleeves of normal Wiimotes. It will likely fit into any gun,fishing rod, etc that a Wiimote will fit into.

This is the 2-in-1 mouse BTLS90 by Filco. It can’t decide what it wants to be. It features a gyro sensor so you can use it either on a desk or in the air like Wiimote. It doesn’t actually fly, unless you waving it around counts as flight. The mouse features an 800dpi resolution along with a USB-rechargeable 550mAh internal battery.

It isn’t much of a looker is it? I mean, it’s like a blue/black wiimote just swallowed a TV remote snake style and now it’s in for a long digestive process. It has a rather large butt too. The design team must have struggled for hours to figure out a way to make consumers stay away at all costs.

Check out this Wiimote chocolate candybar. Now you can have your cake and eat it too. Now you can throw your Wiimote at the TV and eat it too. This Wiimote chocolate replica is the product of Digital Chocolates, a company that specializes in making chocolate bars shaped like various game controllers, like the Sony Playstation controller and this Wiimote.

Not only is it delicious, but it’s got some nice detail too. It’s made of Merckens melting candy wafers. I don’t know what those are, but I’m sure they are yummy. They supposedly taste like the white from Hershey’s cookies n’ creme chocolate bars.

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.

You won’t find anything earth shattering in these schematics of Wiimote prototypes. They’re all fairly similar. But it is interesting to see what they were thinking at the time. One of them even adds the GameCube’s analogue stick to the surface of the Wii Remote.

Hit the link to see some Nunchuk variants as well. Those early models look very awkward. Just be glad that they put so much work into the process. That’s why you have the awesome ergonomic wiimote that you know and love.

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.

Initially unveiled back in September of last year, the “Gametrak Freedom” motion controller for Xbox 360 and the PS3 returns after a makeover. It’s currently on display at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

It should be available this fall for the Xbox 360, the PS3 version will likely follow next year. The Freedom obviously closely resembles the Nintendo Wii remote. In fact, it just looks like a bad knockoff. It will ship with a USB-port base station connected to two wands that sit on either side of your TV. Unlike the Wii remote, the Freedom won’t require line-of-sight. Instead it will use “ultrasonic 3D positioning” to relay the remote’s position via pulses.

Here’s a Wii light gun that looks alien and lethal at the same time. The Dark Ops Wii Light Gun peripheral lets you kill on screen beings in style. We’ve seen our share of wii guns, but this one has a form factor that is a departure.

One major drawback is that it would be a pain to reach the D-pad. But at least it looks different compared to standard plastic Wii guns. It’s for people who want to play Wii games with alien looking guns for no real reason other than to look cool.
