Pimp your Wiimote with Joytech

To celebrate the launch of the Wii, Joytech will also launch a lineup of Wii accessories - or to be more accurate, the Wiimote set. Some are actually rather functional, like the Silicon Gloves, which keep your grip on the Wiimote tight and color-coordinated (any in Sonic-blue, Joytech?), and the wheel-based attachments. Then there's the "Wii Sports Pack," some of which which make the Wiimote look like the offerings from that decried Fusion line of cross-platform motion-sensing controllers.

Ah, well. Here's the lineup from Joytech and some screens of pimped Wiimotes. And did you know that Joytech's a wholly-owned subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive? Ka-ching ka-ching, bling-bling.

JOYTECH Wii Sports Pack: Golf grip, Racing Grip, Racket Grip (and why do the golf and tennis grips look familiar?)


Why do the racket and the golf club remind us of something similar...



JOYTECH Wii Power Station: will charge, store, and protect up to two Wiimotes and a cradle for the Nunchuck


Cool! An iPod dock! J/K!!!


JOYTECH Wii Racing Grip: look familiar?


Ooh! It's from that game! With the big trucks! The big flippy-flip trucks!


JOYTECH Wii Controller Grip: perfect for the running parts of Sonic and the Secret Rings, don't you think?


Blue Streak speeds by, and it's easier to hold the Wiimote like that with this.


JOYTECH Wii Silicon Gloves and the Silicon Glove Pack: because clammy hands must soil not the pristine beauty of a Wiimote

..

I think that in the first picture that two of those items are just not to good to buy because they dont realy add any functionality.(im not talking about the steering wheel)

why...

does the tennis racket addon look so suggestive? lol

nice

the steering wheel and sleeves could be nice, the tennis and golf are in my opinion useless.

pointless

the steering wheel and skins for the wii-mote look good. whats the point in the other stuff apart from the wii-mote charger?

Charging station?

Erhm... Have i missed something, while i was pressing F5 on wii.qj.net? Are we able to recharge the wii-motes, if we buy proper rechargable batteries, or is this line of "accessories" merely a teaser of things to come? The last thing I read about the Wii-mote was that we would have to buy new batteries every time we depleted the old ones?
