While Nintendo has had a long history of releasing their best selling devices in a plethora of colors (think Game Boy and DS Lite), the best selling console of this generation, the Nintendo Wii takes after Henry Ford's philosophy - we can have it in any color as long as it is white. While Nintendo has taken a small step in providing Wiimote straps of different colors, it would be nice to see the Big N do something more significant. Joe D! has decided to take matters into his own hands by coming up with wooden paneling on the Wiimote, Wii nunchuk and even the Wii Classic Controller. Nintendo suits, are you reading this?

Old MacDonald had a dildo, OIOO. So should go the theme song for the OIOO "Tactile-Communication-Device for the Wiimote", a monicker which proves that inventors should never be allow to name their own devices.

We prefer the term Wiibrator, which instantly informs you of this device's teledildonic function. The Wiibrator slides gently onto the end of a standard Wiimote and contains motors, electronics and Bluetooth. Movements in one controller are then translated into ones and zeros, sent over the Internet to your lonely partner, and turned back into good vibrations.

No Wii is required, but you will need a computer with a Bluetooth radio. Valentin Heun, the German inventor, says that the device is sensitive enough to produce vibrations ranging from a gentle caress right up to a jackhammer punch which will rattle your better half's fillings (or as Huen more prudently puts it, "really sexual contact.")

You know what comes (ahem) next. I asked the Lady's opinion. She was rather confused by the design of the second implement, which resembles a donut on a stick. "The hole is tiny," she told me, as I nodded proudly at her highly accurate and objective understanding of size. She also suggested an upgrade. "It should move", she said. "What, you mean wriggle?" I asked. "Yes. The vibrating part is boring. It should move around more when you wave the other one." Finally, I asked "If I was in another country, would you use this?" She smiled and nodded.

The device is not for sale yet, although you can suggest a price on the project's site. I did. $69. Video and more pictures below.

Nintendo has announced a new Wii Remote accessory that aims to make your 3-D gaming experience even more lifelike. Attaching to the end of the remote, the Wii Motion Plus ($TBA) "allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player's arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion. Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play."

Check out this next gen Wii concept which is part of T3 Magazine’s “future tech” feature. The concept Wii headset accessory uses brainwaves to control characters and also features immersive in-ear headphones.
They envision a streamlined Wii Remote with just the one button. Just point and press, and let your frontal lobes do the rest.
