Free Wiimote Jackets

Nintendo is going to be laying out $18 million to ship Wiimote jackets to all Wii owners. Order your free Wiimote protectors here.

This shouldn't affect the bottom line of Nintendo. In fact, Nintendo has become one of the largest companies in Japan (sorry Honda, Sony).

The Coolest and Dullest Wii Gears

1) Wii Balance Board








Get this step pad along with the game "Wii Fit" and you can cancel your gym membership. It will monitor your heart rate while you doing sit up and aerobic exercise in front of your tv.

2) Wii Guitar





Become a Rockstar or super geek when you play Wii's Guitar Hero with this peripheral.

3) Wii Zapper








The design is really cool, now let's see if Nintendo could get some good shooting games out.

4) Wii Wheel












This Wii Wheel addon gives you a good feel of handling in any Wii driving games.








Nintendo just announced the Mario Kart edition at E3.

5) Wii Sports Pack









This set just make the classic Wii Sports more fun.

6) Wii Combat Pack









Don't really like the design of this combat set but it can be worse.

7) Wii Cue Stick







Not a big fan of pool and I don't think this short cue stick helps the game at all.

8) Wii Fishing Rod









This fishing rod is too real; pretty sure it will hit the ceiling if you fish with this.

9) Wii Kitchen Knife for Cooking Mama









The design is not too impressive; it looks like a blade more than a knife. Since it should compliment with the game Cooking Mama, what about the frying pan?

5 Reasons Why Girlfriends and Mum like Wii

The NDP Group just released April's game console sales number. Again, Nintendo beat their closest competition "Sony" by a mile. In April, Nintendo Wii sales total is 360,000 units while Sony sold 82,000 PS3 in the same month.

The main reason behind Nintendo's Wii success is because it hits a niche market, our wives and girlfriends ... Here are 5 reasons why they like it:

1) They think that playing Wii can help them keep fit. Wii as a gym membership replacement.
2) It is white in color... same goes to iPod, MacBook.
3) The games are easy enough that they can play with their 5 years old and actually enjoy playing.
4) The remote only has two buttons. If they know how to use a TV remote, they would know how to use a Wii remote.
5) They can figure out how to play in less than 10 seconds.
