A while ago, I posted a link to accessories on Amazon by Nyko; equally fruitful is a search for accessories by CTA Digital, a company making all kinds of crazy accessories for your Wii play.
Here’s a small selection of their offerings:
There are several pages of accessories listed - a word to the wise though, always read ratings, even if you don’t take other people’s word for it. Remember, caveat emptor!
I was looking around for interesting accessories this morning on some kind of rant, and I came across the Wii Boxing Gloves accessory. This is an offering from CTA Digital.
Hmm. Anyone have these and want to write a review? Pick a pair up here. They’re about $20.
For those of you who haven’t rocked out at least one level’s worth of races on Mario Kart Wii, I wanted to fill you in on what happens when you successfully place and complete a race class…
You get a congratulatory photo taken with your Mii, Mario, and the Princess! HA!
Amazon has the Wii Wheels for ten bucks! Check it out!
The Wii Fit Balance Board Mat by CTA will be featured in today’s Amazon Lightning Deals from Noon to 4pm central time. The price will change during that time, so don’t buy it yet!
I just found this pair of covers for your Wiimote and Nunchuk - it’s a black silicone cover that is a little more sleek than the original covers that come with the wiimote. I kind of like the padding that the original silicone cover has around the front - it’s a pretty thick padding. These covers don’t seem to have that, but they are only a buck-39.
That’s right - $1.39. A dollar and thirty-nine cents.
In case you can’t decide on which color of 30 dollar Wii Glo Sword accessory to choose, there are FIVE COLORS. Sheesh.
Well, hey - to each his or her own, in five colors. But they’re still 30 bucks a pop.
I’m a pretty big fan of Nyko’s accessory line for Wii. I just ran across another one from Nyko that I have to pick up; if you’re a fan of using the Classic Controller
for Wii - for all of those N64 and GameCube games you can’t let go of, like Star Tropics for me - then check out the Classic Controller Grip for the controller and wiimote.
The Classic Controller Grip by Nyko wraps around the classic controller (as you have probably noticed, it’s not so easy to hold on to), and attaches to the Wiimote in order to facilitate faster playing. But really - as much as I love efficiency, scheduling, and all of that - if the reason for buying the Classic Controller Grip is to save time on playing games, then it might be time to clear up some time on your schedule.
Check it out! It’s ten bucks. Barely event he cost of eating at McD’s.
I went looking for some Rock Band accessories links last night, and I figured that it was time for someone to do an all-inclusive post of the gear available for Rock Band for Wii.
It’s time for that post.
There is, of course, the Rock Band for Wii Special Edition - including the guitar controller, drum controller, microphone, USB Hub and game software. This seems to be a pretty big seller right now. You can also purchase just the game disc as well.
The Rock Band Track Pack, Vol. 1 is available for pre-order, to be released on July 15. This includes:
You’re also going to need to know about the game accessories and must-haves:
The Rock Band for Wii Guitar Controller - remember, the Rock Band and Guitar Hero controllers are NOT - I repeat, NOT COMPATIBLE.
The Rock Band for Wii Microphone - These are from Logitech, and IMHO they have THE BEST accessories out there. Logitech’s Playstation 2 wireless controllers are the finest I have had the pleasure of using… and funny enough, in writing this article, I just discovered that they’re ten dollars off right noe. SO if you also appreciate PS2, go get these. I highly recommend it. I have had mine for two years, and they’re still solid. I am assuming that their Wii Microphone will hold up to the same scrutiny.
Rock Band for Wii - Light-Up Drumsticks! In Blue or Red.
3-in-1 Rock Band/Guitar Hero Kit - this accessory has a gig bag for your guitars (with lots of pockets), a guitar controller strap, and a guitar stand. It’s good for your Wii Rock Band OR your Wii Guitar Hero pleasure.
The Rock Stand - a 2-guitar controller stand for Rock Band for Wii or Guitar Hero for Wii. You can also use this for controllers for PS2, PS3, and XBox, but WeKnowWii here, so you can imagine which we’re gonna use it for…
For you roadies out there: The Rock Icon guitar case. This case is an aluminum road case for your Rock Band or Guitar Hero guitar controllers, your came console, games, cables, and the kitchen sink. For the true die-hard traveling player. It’s also on sale right now.
Last but definitely not least… Rock Band for Wii Drum Pad Covers. These pads reduce noise by up to 50%, and are easy to remove and apply. Get them fast though, they’re ridiculously popular, and have been in and out of stock for a while.
WeKnowWii.com hopes that this helps you. We’ll be updating as soon as we find new stuff!
In lieu of Nyko’s lawsuit with Nintendo over the wireless Kama Nunchuk, we’ve decided to link to a page full of Nyko’s accessories. We highly recommend the Wireless Sensor Bar, for starters. It improved our Wii playing distance by at least fifteen feet.
Check out a full list of holdings at Amazon of the Nyko line of Wii accessories.
