			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I remember the innocent days when the Wii was new to my house and my daughter was too young to care that it had games and stuff. When she turned five she started to show interest in <em>Wii Golf</em> and played with my son and me a bit. Then she started beating me on a regular basis. What&#8217;s worse, when she wins, she gloats. There is nothing worse than a five-year-old telling everyone you know that she beat you playing golf.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-34809" title="pro_pack_mini_wii_controller" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/pro_pack_mini_wii_controller.jpg" alt="pro pack mini wii controller" width="600" height="738" /></p>
<p><span id="more-34806"></span></p>
<p>If I could get her playing real golf that good, I could be like Tiger&#8217;s dad and stop working. The only issue she has with <em>Wii Golf</em> is that her little hands can’t quire press the button down enough to get up to the ball and stay there. Each time her turn comes around her little character dances back and forth from in front of the ball to beside the ball until she finally whacks it straighter than I can.</p>
<p>At E3, <a href="http://powera.com/">Power A</a> pulled the wraps off some new controllers for the Wii that are sized for users with small hands, and still work with the Wii MotionPlus add-on. The controller is called the MiniRemote and MiniChuck and they claim to be 35% smaller than the normal Wii controllers are. I wonder if I got them if my daughter will give me a 35% harder butt kicking next time we play.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As much as I love the minimal design of the Nintendo Wii, sometimes I find the whole white plastic thing a little boring. That&#8217;s why I love this concept for a Wii woodgrain paneling update.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3837 aligncenter" title="wii_wood_mod_concept" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/wii_wood_mod_concept.jpg" alt="wii wood mod concept" width="520" height="559" /></p>
<p>Currently just a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joefxd/2632663024/">concept design by Joe D!</a>, his mod envisions a layer of woodgrain veneer (probably just vinyl decals) for all of his Wii controllers. From the Wii-Mote to the Nunchuk to the Classic Controller and even they Nyko Perfect Shot &#8211; they all get wood. Not only that, the controllers get some bright white backlit buttons and a nice black paint job to bring out the woody goodness.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3838 aligncenter" title="wii_wood_mod_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/wii_wood_mod_2.jpg" alt="wii wood mod 2" width="520" height="438" /></p>
<p>It only leaves me wondering what sort of look he has planned for the Wii itself. No word on if or when Joe will bring his concept to fruition, but I&#8217;ll be sure to post photos of the real deal if and when he does.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/wii_18_in_1_kit.jpg" alt="wii 18 in 1 kit"  title="wii 18 in 1 kit photo" /></p>
<p>This 18-in-1 Wii Sports accessory kit comes with a pair of tennis rackets, a steering wheel, pool cue, golf club, baseball bat, a joypad holster and myriad other add-ons for your console. The package also includes silicon covers for your controllers, a stand for your console and even a cooling fan.</p>
<p>You can grab the entire set of accessories for about $45 from <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10842~r.99999999">DealExtreme</a>. Personally, I&#8217;ll just leave mine the way it came from Nintendo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In between all the reports of who&#8217;s got the thinnest flat screen at this week&#8217;s CES show, it&#8217;s easy to overlook some of the hidden treasures to be uncovered at the trade show. Take, for instance, this great new wireless controller for the Nintendo Wii.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/nyko_wireless_nunchuk.jpg" alt="nyko wireless nunchuk"  title="nyko wireless nunchuk photo" /></p>
<p><a href="http://nyko.com/">Nyko&#8217;s</a> new Wireless Nunchuk (or Nunchuck if you&#8217;re not using the proper Nintendo nomenclature) controller lets you play games that require both the Wii-mote and Nunchuk to operate completely without the annoying cable between the controllers. The $30 wireless controller works just like the one Nintendo includes, but transmits its signal to an adapter that snaps on to the bottom of your Wii-mote.</p>
<p>Expect the Nyko Wireless Nunchuk to hit stores sometime later in Q1 2008.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/wii_gloves.jpg" alt="wii gloves"  title="wii gloves photo" /></p>
<p>Just strap your Wii-mote and Nunchuk controllers into these inflatable gloves, pump them up with air, and you&#8217;re ready to duke it out with your favorite boxing game. Regardless of the extra padding the cushion of air might provide, I don&#8217;t recommend that you punch your $2000 plasma screen with these.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t mind looking a bit silly while you play a little <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp8EEAkYV3I">Hajime no Ippo Revolution</a>, you can pick up a pair of the gloves for just under 15 bucks <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7420~r.99999999">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At this point, the Nintendo Wii really only has one flight game available, <a href="http://www.konami.com/Konami/ctl3810/cp20107/si2253847/cl1/">Wing Island</a>. Anyway, somebody still thought it might be a good idea to take the Wii controls and stick &#8216;em into a flight control rig.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/wii_airplane_controller.jpg" alt="wii airplane controller"  title="wii airplane controller photo" /></p>
<p>PEGA&#8217;s $12.99 <a href="http://www.renchi.com/renchi/Wii_Accessories_Airplane_Controller_Stand.htm">Wii Airplane Controller Stand</a> suction cups onto any flat surface, giving you something that approximates a flight wheel on a plain. Just stick your Nunchuk on the one side, and your Wii-mote on the other, and you&#8217;ll be taking off and landing like a pro&#8230; just as soon as some more flying games comes out.</p>
<p>If only this early prototype flying game had actually made it into Wii Sports&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It amazes me how many <a href="http://www.technabob.com/blog/?s=wii+gun&amp;searchbutton=search">shooter accessories</a> are starting to surface for the Nintendo Wii, despite the lack of games that you can actually use them with. However, manufacturers continue to crank them out, and this is one of my favorites so far.</p>

<p>This 3rd-party Wii Blaster transforms your Wii-mote and Nunchuk controllers into a serious looking weapon. The Wii-mote mounts into the front of the gun, while the Nunchuk clips into the handle. While <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5514">DealExtreme</a> is selling the $16 add-on as a &#8220;rifle,&#8221; I&#8217;d have to say it looks more like a shotgun to me.</p>
<p>Regardless, I&#8217;d much rather have one of these for <em>Gears of War</em> or <em>Halo 3</em> than for <em>Duck Hunt</em>. Are you listening Microsoft?</p>
