Nerf-based Wii controllers being sold at Amazon.com?

AMAZON Nerf


Following the rumor that Pelican Accessories, the third party manufacturer of accessories of different gaming platforms like Wii and PS3, we found the rumoured merchandise being sold at Amazon.com. When we checked the Amazon site, it is currently unavailable but we saw some details that will surely raise some eyebrows.

Both the Nerf Wii Remote and the Nerf Nunchuk Wii Controller has been available for pre-order at the Amazon site since October 3. Not much has been spilled about the two products except the weight detail (11.20 ounces) and the product description which reads, "A unique controller design that features a comfortable texture. Proprietary Nerf material forms into a resilient, long lasting controller that can take abuse!". No pricing info has been stated in the page either.

So does this mean the rumor that Pelican is really manufacturing the rumored controllers is true? If it is, what does Nintendo have to say about this?

Nerf controllers that can take damage would be totally radical. You could actually use the controllers like weapons and beat the ***** out of another person with a nerf wii controller. I guess you could just do that in real life with normal nerf *****, but with Wii you could have lifebars ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! and super meters and double hidden cancels and such.

Being an unnamed Gamestop employee, I can tell you that at the recent managers conference, there WAS a Nerf football contriller. It was about the same size as a normal nerf football, and worked well as both a tool and a toy.

The 8-button Guitar hero 2 controller was also present, but box art as of now still only shows the 5-button.


Wii and PS3 preorders coming soon!
