put your wii remote inside a baby

baby and me nintendo wii

“Bring your baby to life with your Wii remote.” That’s what it says on the box for Baby and Me, the Wii game with what is undeniably the weirdest controller accessory so far: a baby doll.

Baby and Me comes with a doll, but not just any doll. This doll features a slot for the Wii remote…

nyko zoom case is coming to make your dsi less portable

nintendo dsi nyko zoom case

Sure, the Nintendo DSi is pretty nice (though apparently not big enough), but that camera just doesn’t have enough oomph for some people. You know the type: the folks who need giant thrusting accessories, be they useful or not. The Nyko Zoom Case is almost certainly useful… unless you’re concerned about that whole ease of portability…

nintendo dsi ll officially revealed: bigger on the outside, still the same inside

DSi-LL-1

The rumors were right – Nintendo officially unveiled the DSi LL, which is basically a Nintendo DSi but with much larger 4.2-inch screens, a 93% increase over the 3.2-inch screens on the DSi. The DSi LL also has 2 pens, a relatively jumbo sized 5-inch pen and a smaller pen that’s still slightly larger than…

sweet and sparkly nintendo ds lite case

tb-hellokitty

I think we can all agree that Hello Kitty is pretty cute. Hello Kitty floating on a fluffy confection of fake cream and glittery jewels… well, that’s something else altogether. Stunning, certainly. And the gleam might just put your eye out. Sometimes, cute can be risky.

At first glance, this seems to be from the…

and the best-selling game of the decade is….

tb-wiiplay

…the Nintendo Wii Remote. Wait! I mean Wii Play (with Wii Remote). That’s right, folks. Halo isn’t the best-selling game of the decade, and it ain’t Gears of War. Forget all the Final Fantasy installments. It’s not any of the gun-toting installments of Grand Theft Auto. Scratch off Madden and all other sports games. The first decade of this…

this dsi is all about brotherly love

nintendo dsi paint custom mario luigi

…it’s just that this sort of brotherly love tends to be more about punching and less about hugging. Call it the Super Smash Bros. Call it domestic violence. But you know everyone wants to see this guy’s DSi when he whips it out in public!

nes controller flash drive is like spy tech for geeks

"Retro GamerDrive"

There’s something unique about this unassuming looking NES controller – and no, it’s not that it’s a flash drive. Gaming peripherals turned storage devices are a dime a dozen, but this flash drive requires a secret activation code. Okay, maybe not so secret. I doubt Sydney Bristow would have much trouble cracking this particular code.…

playable nes console built into an nes cartridge [casemod]

nes_cartridge_portable

The first time I saw an NES gaming system built into an NES cartridge, I thought it was pretty sweet. Until I saw this one, which totally outdoes the original.

Inspired by an earlier NESp (Ninendo Entertainment System portable) mod by darkeru, modder airz managed to put a completely playable game system, including a 2.8-inch…

ds cases with monster faces

nintendo dsi case handmade

So you’ve got a Nintendo DS, or maybe a DSi. Maybe even something else, some other gadget with a similar shape. You’ve got to put it into something to protect those smooth surfaces. Why not shove it down the gullet of a friendly monster?

Seriously, this has to be the least-scary monster I’ve ever seen, even…

take a roll through the night sky [nintendo wii]

night sky nicalis wiiware

Ball-rolling just doesn’t sound that exciting. We’ve been there. We’ve done the labyrinths. But let’s not forget that ball-rolling can get crazy (and sticky), and give something a little different a chance, like the gorgeously minimalist Night Sky.

Night Sky is all about simplicity. Why bother with a humanoid character? Instead, players control a ball…
