Wiitality: Look Ma, No Hands!

Technabob — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:29:33 +0000

For those of you trying to keep in shape playing Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus, here’s a great way to keep that Wii controller from flying out of your hands while you get your workout.

Talismoon’s Wiitality is a neoprene band that’s designed to hold your Wii-mote in place with no need to hold the controller in your hand. The band is fully adjustable, and fastens to your wrist or bicep using sturdy Velcro straps to ensure the controller stays put while you sweat. Since so many of the exercises in Wii Fit require you to put the controller down, and then pick it back up again, this is a great little idea.

You can find the Wiitality over at Amazon for about $3 (USD) each.

Xbox 360 Faceplates Get Furry

Give your Xbox 360 system a retro-lounge makeover with these animal print faceplates. These snap-on replacements for the standard Xbox 360 front cover don’t just look like their mammalian counterparts, they’re velvety soft to the touch.

Whether you’re going for a jungle theme or fifties kitsch, they’ll definitely get looks when you have your friends over. Before you even ask, no actual animals were harmed in the making of these fuzzy faux fur accessories.

Available from Totalconsole for $18 to $19 respectively, the Talismoon Evolve360 fur faceplates come in cow and leopard prints (what, no lions, tigers or bears? oh my!) They could have at least included a liger in the menagerie. There’s even a matching replacement cover ($17 to $18 each) for your 360 controller if you want to go all out with the animal theme.

These replacement shells for the Nintendo Wii bring your boring white console alive with color. Talismoon’s Evolve case kits come in a number of rich hues and dramatic mirrored styles.

I’m particularly enamored of the fiery Red Ronin case as well as the luscious emerald Green Tanto.

In addition to the intense primary colors, the Evolve case series comes in chrome, black and clear variants among others.

The cases offer complete coverage of your entire Wii console, including replacement feet and screw covers. Talismoon even includes the tools you need to swap out the shell.

You can find the complete series from ConsoleShop for $39.99 each.

Wii Feeling Blue? Go Green or Red Instead

If you’re looking for a quick and easy mod to change the look of your Nintendo Wii, here’s a kit that lets you easily change the color of the LEDs in the console’s DVD loading slot.

The Talismoon DVD Gate is a simple kit that should take less than ten minutes to install, letting you quickly swap out those blue LEDs for red or green ones instead. Each kit includes everything you need to open your Wii without damaging the warranty sticker. They even include the special screwdriver needed to open the case properly. Plus, it’s a totally reversible operation if you want to go back to the blue LEDs later.

You can find the DVD Gate kit from Divineo for just $7.95.
