Here's the surprising thing about the Innex Rapid Shot: It's good. Like,
really good. The pseudo sub-machine gun not only bundles the functionality of the Wiimote, Nunchuk and MotionPlus into one controller, it also looks and feels great. In fact, it's being marketed as the first controller made solely for adults. All marketing nonsense, but it tells you a lot about what kind of audience they're targeting.
What feature does the Rapid Shot (which retails for $49.99) not include? Well, for starters, it doesn't keep you from being stupefyingly uncomfortable when a man in camouflage shouts at you about protecting your brain from zombies. Perhaps in version two?

While announcing its early 2010 software lineup this morning, Nintendo also announced a February 14th North American release date for the pink and blue Wii remotes, giving the significant others of Nintendo fans the perfect Valentine's Day gift idea.
Sure, Japan got them first, but here in North America we get the pink and blue Wii remotes on a day perfect for spreading love through pleasantly colored video game accessories. The two new colors come packaged in Nintendo's unique protective sleeve, which brings to mind intimate toys while also serving as a reminder about safe sex, while the bundled Wii Motion Plus accessory is perfect for reminding your loved one that just swinging it around randomly is only fun until someone loses an eye.
The announcement didn't specifically mention price, but we can assume they'll be in line with the current Wii remote / Motion Plus bundles at $49.99, or $54.99 at GameStop. Where's the love, GameStop?

Do not mistake the four new colors of Nyko's Wii remote-alternative Wand controller for candy, as they will likely do horrible things to your teeth.
We've mentioned Nyko's Wand controller several times in the past, somewhat fascinated by the promise of their Trans-Port technology, which allows for digital signals to be passed along the expansion port along with the Wii remote's standard analog ones. Interesting technology, but not the best selling point in the world. Now coming in pink, purple, and blue, on the other hand - that's a selling point. Not only are the candy-colored (licorice is a candy!) controllers pretty, they are safe as well, coming packed with matching controller condoms. Classy!
The four new colors are now showing up at Wal-Mart stores around the country with a suggested retail price of $29.99, with other retailers following suit soon after.
