About Wii Accessories

Since the release of the Nintendo Wii in november 2006, the company sold more than 9 million consoles worldwide, according to the NPD Group. Do you think that the Wii is the second most desired gift on Amazon's wedding registry? His popularity should come as no surprise, given the fact that it is highly interactive, promotes exercise, and welcomes friendly competition (we have thrown a few Wii tournaments here at PC Magazine).

Despite the occasional Wii-related injury (yes, who like Band-Aids handy), the innovative console has managed to transform gaming. Even family night has changed from board games to video games. Just this last Wednesday, Nintendo MyWiiStory.com launched a site where Wii owners can post stories about how the Wii has changed their lives.

It does not look like the Wii rage has been delayed because the reports of shortages and all! And judging by the handful of crazy Wii accessories, we stumbled on lately--"chrome casings, remote retractable cuffs, and more--" There seems no end in sight for any console this rage.

Here are a few of the products can be found in the current 10 Wacky Wii Accessories slideshow:

Retractable Wii Sports cuff
Unless you fat-up to your hand with butter, there really needs a retractable Wii Sports Cuff? Confirm the Wiimote to the adjustable band, sliding it on your wrist, and at any time that you believe that the Wiimote will slip out of your hands, the cord will attract up to 13 inches. It sells for $ 5.99 at HandheldItems.com.

Xcm I-Case for Wii (Chrome)
Admit it: You wish you could cover your Nintendo Wii in chrome. And thanks TotalConsole.com, your wish can come true. The I-Case for Wii ($ 39.99) from xcm is a replacement event that gives your Wii that silvery, shiny "I'm cool" look. Not in chrome? The I-Case is also available in the crystal blue and black.
