Shinobii Wii Ping Pong Paddle: Perfect for Smacking Balls
October 18th, 2010
The Wii has had its share of crazy controllers. This is definitely a strange one: it’s a reproduction of a table tennis paddle. One thing’s for sure, if you love table tennis, then this is the Wii pad for you!
The TT Champion Bat is made by Shinobii Technologies and will be available for $70 “pretty soon”. It’s supposed to be an accurate reproduction of a ping pong paddle. I’m all for novelty, but this is getting ridiculous.
Maybe if you really enjoy table tennis that much, you should just buy a real paddle and play on a real table instead of a Wii. It would be way cheaper, depending on the quality of your table tennis paddles.
