Nintendo Wii has revolutionized the video game industry. By taking a once passive experience and thrusting the player into the game not only mentally but physically, Wii has opened a whole new demographic to market their product.
For those of you unaware, Wii is all about motion. Instead of hitting x and watching your player hit a home run, you actually have to wave the remote around like a bat and hit it out yourself. Great game for little kids right? Wrong.
Wii has brought about Wii fitness, attracting middle aged moms not too keen on exercise, and decided not to stoop that ball of Wii remotes and wires from rolling. Nintendo now has guitars, steering wheels, microphones, guns, ax’s, and classical instruments and just came out with a car light that allow you to play Wii on the go; now that is a scary thought
Nintendo has lost control of the runaway Wii train. With gadgets ranging from upsurd to just plain dangerous, Wii has taken a great idea (bringing youth off the couch but not away from their product) and placed anyone within striking distance of a Wii and an excited youth (or adult) is danger. Below is an excerpt from a list compiled by Tracy John over at wired.com (check them out for the item images) with some signs of a Nintendo led apocalypse.
1) Wii-Bowl
2) Wii Boxing Gloves
3) Wii Dual Glow light Sabers
4) Classical Instrument Set
5) Wii 8 in 1 Action weapons Bundle
6) Wii Car Light
