			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sure, the PlayStation 3 is eventually getting its own official <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/07/08/sony-patents-their-part-of-the-motion-controlled-future/">motion controller from Sony</a>, but while you wait for this bit of futureware, the guys over at UK gaming outfit BLAZE have announced their own motion-sensing PS3 controller. And it looks an awful lot like a Wii-mote.<span id="more-21389"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-21390  aligncenter" title="blaze_ps3_motion_controller" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/blaze_ps3_motion_controller.jpg" alt="blaze_ps3_motion_controller" width="600" height="498" /></p>
<p>The BLAZE PS3 Motion Freedom 3D controller can detect your movements and send them to the PS3 for use in games. The controller has a D-pad, analog stick, and all of the other buttons you&#8217;d find on a DualShock 3 control.</p>
<p>Now there&#8217;s no word on what games the Motion Freedom will support, but BLAZE makes mention of <em>Tiger Woods PGA Golf</em> and <em>Sega Tennis</em> in their announcement. No word on a release date or price either &#8211; so for now, you&#8217;ll just have to be satisfied reading the <a href="http://www.blazeeurope.com/ps3/blaze-ps3-motion-freedom-3d-controller/prod_109.html">press release</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Been invited to a wedding, a business dinner, a funeral, or some other stuffy event, but still want to look cool? Were those <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/02/08/8-bit-video-game-neckties/">8-bit video game ties</a> a bit too garish for your stuck-up friends? These metal gamer cufflinks are perfect for showing your gamer spirit in a slightly more subtle way.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11002 aligncenter" title="ps_dual_shock_cufflinks" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/ps_dual_shock_cufflinks.jpg" alt="ps_dual_shock_cufflinks" width="520" height="459" /></p>
<p>Wii fan? Don&#8217;t want to wear a pair of PS2 Dual Shocks on your wrist? That&#8217;s okay because they&#8217;ve also got these little Wii-mote controller cufflinks too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11003 aligncenter" title="wii_cufflinks" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/wii_cufflinks.jpg" alt="wii_cufflinks" width="520" height="460" /></p>
<p>And if you&#8217;re looking for something a little more cross-platform friendly, check out the <em>Guitar Hero</em> cufflinks.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11004 aligncenter" title="gh_cufflinks" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/gh_cufflinks.jpg" alt="gh_cufflinks" width="520" height="600" /></p>
<p>My fingers hurt just thinking about how tiny those frets and strum bar are. Try playing <em>Through The Fire And Flames</em> on Expert one of these.</p>
<p>The sterling silver Dual Shock and Wii-mote links will set you back a pricey $150 (USD), while the silver plate GH guitars will run you just $50 bucks. You can find all three designs over at <a href="http://www.cufflinks.com/guitar-hero-cufflinks.html">Cufflinks.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A week ago we posted about a <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/12/30/bang-bang-my-zapper-shot-you-down-wii/">sweet Wii gun mod</a> that was modeled after an MP5. Here&#8217;s another gun mod that combines Wii and Counter-Strike. It is, in the words of it&#8217;s creator, a DESERT EAGLE WITH OFFICIAL MARKINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-7258 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/deagle_1.jpg" alt="deagle_1" width="520" height="390" /></p>
<p>Modder/possible de_dust 2 regular fordelite_76 is responsible for this ill mod. The gun even has an &#8220;orange tip for all the safety minded people out there.&#8221; But that&#8217;s unnecessary. We all know that a real desert eagle has a steel finish. Plus it can shoot through walls and doors and crates. CTs can all have a few words with this cannon. Cannon.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-7259 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/deagle_2.jpg" alt="deagle_2" width="520" height="390" /></p>
<p>Again it&#8217;s on <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/NINTENDO-Wii-Gun-CUSTOM-DESERT-EAGLE_W0QQitemZ230317619066QQihZ013QQcategoryZ139969QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">eBay</a>. Starting bid is $20 USD, Wii-mote not included. Also, fordelite_76 says that you cannot use this gun for games that require the Nunchuk controller. I&#8217;m waiting for an AWM/P mod. Deagle-deagle-rifle. Honestly I suck at CS; I only know that combo because I&#8217;ve been on the business end of it so many times. That and my own HE.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">These weensy Wii-motes (just 2.25&#8243; tall) don&#8217;t just look cool. They each project a cartoon image from Mario Kart on your when you jam on the &#8220;1&#8243; button.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5417 aligncenter" title="wii_mote_projector_mario_ka" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/wii_mote_projector_mario_ka.jpg" alt="Mario Kart Wii-Mote Mini Projector" width="520" height="159" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In addition to Mario, there are versions with Luigi, Wario, Princess Peach, Yoshi and Baby Mario. If you collect all six, you could project an illuminated Mario Kart puppet show on your wall. How cool would that be?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">These unique collectibles are officially licensed by Nintendo, and available in limited quantities over at <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/japanfan/a5fa/">ThinkGeek</a> for just $5.99 each.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you constantly leave your Wii-mote lying around? Do you find it stuck under the couch cushions between some moldy Fritos and loose pocket change? Maybe it&#8217;s time you found a place to keep your controller so it doesn&#8217;t keep getting lost.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5254 aligncenter" title="wii_mote_cozy_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/wii_mote_cozy_2.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="430" /></p>
<p>The Wii Remocon storage accessory from <a href="http://www.hori.jp/products/wii/wii_remocon_pocket/">Hori Japan</a> couldn&#8217;t be simpler. This soft-sided Wii-mote cozy gives you a handy place to keep your Wii controller.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5252 aligncenter" title="wii_mote_cozy" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/wii_mote_cozy.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="543" /></p>
<p>Each one is roomy enough for a Wii-mote and Nunchuk controller pair. A handy snap on the front of each one lets you conjoin multiples to store more than one controller.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5253 aligncenter" title="wii_controller_storage" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/wii_controller_storage.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="170" /></p>
<p>They&#8217;re available in black, aqua and white nylon and emblazoned with the officially licensed Wii logo. You can find all three over at <a href="http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-19-71-10o-49-en-15-remote+control+pocket.html">Play-Asia</a> for $7.99 a piece.</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 Woodgrain Mod Concept by Joe D!" 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 Woodgrain Mod Concept by Joe D!" 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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you just can&#8217;t get enough of <em>Link&#8217;s Crossbow Training</em> for the Wii, have I got an accessory for you. Sure the hour-long game already comes inside the package with Nintendo&#8217;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FWii-Zapper-Links-Crossbow-Training%2Fdp%2FB000W5Y49G&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Wii Zapper</a>, but that&#8217;s not really a crossbow, is it?</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/wii_crossbow.jpg" alt="Wii Crossbow" /></p>
<p>What&#8217;s kind of wacky about the weapon is that they&#8217;ve actually covered up the tip of the &#8220;arrow&#8221; with a dumb looking plastic ball, taking all the fun out of shooting an arrow through your TV screen. On the other hand, the crossbow does feature a laser sight which should do a fine job reflecting off your display and blinding you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/link_crossbow_wii.jpg" alt="Wii Crossbow for Link’s Crossbow Training" /></p>
<p>Priced at about $28, the plastic crossbow is more expensive than the Zapper and Link bundle, making it pretty impractical since that&#8217;s the only Wii game I can think of that has a crossbow as its primary weapon.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re still convinced that just have to have this, head on over to <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11459~r.99999999">DealExtreme</a> to get your hands on one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the last year, we&#8217;ve gone from nary a Wii gun controller to a veritable plethora of available shooter accessories for Nintendo&#8217;s little white box. Still, with all the variety that&#8217;s to be found these days, this is the first time I&#8217;ve seen one with a built in laser sight to help you aim your shots.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/wii_light_gun_wiimax.jpg" alt="Wii Light Gun with Laser Sight WiiMax" /></p>
<p>The WiiMax (not to be confused with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX">WiMAX</a>) is one substantial light gun controller, designed to flip between &#8220;machine gun&#8221; and &#8220;rifle&#8221; modes thanks to a folding front grip. It&#8217;s got a fitted slot for holding your Wii-mote, and lets you plunk your Nunchuk into the handle. The laser sight runs on a pair of AAA batteries, and can be easily removed if it gets in your way.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/wii_light_gun_box.jpg" alt="Wii Light Gun with Laser Sight WiiMax" /></p>
<p>Sure, if you&#8217;re willing bring out your inner MacGyver, you could just duct tape a cheap laser pointer onto any light gun. But for about $21, you might as well just pick up one of these, all ready to go. You can grab the WiiMax Wii Light Gun from <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11233">DealExtreme</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/wedisk_usb_drive.jpg" alt="WeDisk Wii Flash Drive by SolarMemo" /></p>
<p>Created by SolarMemo, the petite <a href="http://www.solarmemo.com/wedisk.html">Wedisk flash drive</a> looks like a wee Wii-mote, but press the &#8220;A&#8221; button, and the USB connector pops out of the top of the controller for you to plug into your computer.</p>
<p><a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/02/21/wii-mote-gets-the-usb-flash-drive-treatment/"><strong>Click to View Embedded Video Clip</strong></a></p>
<p>The Wedisk is available in capacities from 1GB to 8GB, but is currently only available in custom production runs (especially if you happen to work for Nintendo). So if you&#8217;ve got a bunch of Wii-having friends, take up a collection and order up a couple thousand of these puppies.</p>

Take, for instance, this great new wireless controller for the Nintendo Wii.</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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s another silly accessory for your Nintendo Wii controller. It&#8217;s a fishing rod that snaps on to your Wii-mote so you can feel more immersed when you&#8217;re catching digital fish in those weird <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=wii+fishing+game">fishing simulation games</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/dragon_fish_rod_wii.jpg" alt="Wii Fishing Rod by Dragon" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.dragon-electronics.com">Dragon Electronics</a> Fishing Rod Advance includes a retractable rod and fishing line, and even comes with a plastic fish that you can stick on the end of the line. Why you&#8217;d throw out the rod with a fish already attached is anyone&#8217;s guess, but if you&#8217;re using your Wii to catch fish in the first place, you&#8217;re probably a bit of a kook anyhow. If only you could cook up those virtual fish you catch when you&#8217;re playing <a href="http://www.cookingmamacookoff.com/home.php">Cooking Mama</a>, you&#8217;d be set.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re just dying to snag yourself some fake fish can pick one up from console shop <a href="http://www.ohgizmo.com/2007/11/07/wii-fishing-rod-advance-accessory/">Divineo</a> for $9.95.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you enjoy the occasional game of table tennis on your Nintendo Wii, here&#8217;s a way to complete the experience. Check out these ping pong paddles which snap on to your Wii-mote controllers.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m not really sure why they&#8217;re being called &#8220;3-in-1&#8243;, since I can&#8217;t think of anything else they could be used as besides ping pong paddles. Maybe they&#8217;re thinking you can flip pancakes and use them for fraternity hazing rituals?</p>
<p>According to the packaging, these cheap Chinese paddles are actually for the &#8220;Wü&#8221; console, a clear indication that they&#8217;re not officially sanctioned by Nintendo. A <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.9102">pair of paddles</a> (one black, one red) will set you back about $16.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;re sure to intimidate your gaming opponents when you walk in to the room carrying this aluminum briefcase. Looking like something out of an episode of <em>24</em> or <em>Mission Impossible</em>, this mini-briefcase lets you carry your Wii controller in secret agent style.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/wii_aluminum_case.jpg" alt="Wii Aluminum Carry Case" /></p>
<p>Each &#8220;Luxury&#8221; aluminum carry case provides a form-fitting padded storage for a single Wii-mote and Nunchuck controller. The only thing that would make this cooler is if it made that high-pitched &#8220;fweeeeeeeeeeee&#8221; sound that TV and movie briefcases make when they&#8217;re ready to detonate.</p>
<p>You can grab one for yourself over at <a href="http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=HC-WII064&amp;cm_mmc=geekmail-_-newarrivals_html-_-20oct07-_-HC-WII064">ComputerGeeks</a> for just $6.50 each.</p>

<p>The mini rackets are a little smaller than the real deal, but the design looks much nicer than the cheapie white accessories you usually see for the Wii.</p>
<p>Now the thought of flailing around my living room with a tennis racket has me fearful that I&#8217;ll break a couple of lamps, my big screen TV and maybe the cat. For those of you with better coordination than me, you&#8217;ll be able to pick one up in time for the holidays for about $15.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/wii_gloves.jpg" alt="Wii Boxing Gloves" /></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>Gamer girls, if you weren&#8217;t fortunate enough to pick up the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/08/23/nintendo-necklace-for-girl-gamers-with-style/">Nintendo DS necklace</a>, here&#8217;s another fun piece of video game inspired jewelry I found. These earrings are tiny versions of the Nintendo Wii-mote controller.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/wiimote_earrings.jpg" alt="Nintendo Wii-Mote Earrings by Thiakosia" /></p>
<p>Artist Thiakosia hand-sculpted these tiny Wii controller earrings entirely from <a href="http://www.sculpey.com">Sculpey</a> polymer clay. Nope, there&#8217;s no paint on there, which is pretty amazing given the fact that the mini remotes are just over 1-inch tall each. It must have taken a really steady hand to pull off that detail in miniature. With that surgical precision I&#8217;d bet the artist would beat me hands down in a game of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIBcmOVhf2M">Trauma Center</a>.</p>
<p>You can find these mini Wii-mote earrings and a variety of other tiny clay works (including Wii-mote cellphone charms) over on the artist&#8217;s <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5296089">Etsy shop</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/wii_psp.jpg" alt="Wii-mote on PSP" /></p>
<p>PSP hacker <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/joesnose">joesnose</a> MacGyvered together a combination of the <a href="http://carl.kenner.googlepages.com/glovepie">GlovePIE</a>, <a href="http://irshell.org/">iRShell and Nethostfs</a> libraries to make it all play nicely. The idea that it took a PC, a PSP and the Wii-mote seems like too much work for too little payoff.</p>

<p>If he could figure out a way to cram the motion sensor circuits and applications inside the PSP, then it would be far more useful. I guess some people just do things to prove they can be done.</p>
