    The black Wii Remote and Nunchucks are coming soon

    While the black Wii remotes and Nunchucks are nice, we still want the black Wii, Nintendo! But I'm sure you've heard our cries before. Whatever. Digressing. The black Wii remote and Nunchuck will be available on November 16, 2009. The Wii Remote will be bundled with a black MotionPlus add-on and carry an MSRP of $49.99. The Nunchuck however will be $19.99 all by itself. So, for a total of $70 for each set, you can be the coolest Wii game on your floor. Totally worth it IMHO.

    This little doodad from Japan promises to convert your PS and PS2 controllers into Wiimotes. It’s about $19 bucks, which is one dollar cheaper than the Classic Controller, but who knows what it will end up being after shipping and such. I much prefer the Nyko Wing that I’ve been using.

    I’ll keep this review short and sweet, folks. If you’re looking for a second, third or even fourth Wiimote for your Wii then allow me to suggest picking up Nyko’s Wand. It’s priced $5 less than Nintendo’s Wii Remote and you’ll never know the difference when playing with your Wii Wii. It even comes with a blue condom!
