Perhaps the strangest Wii game/peripheral yet

Have you ever played a game by moving a puppet all around? Well, that’s exactly what you do in Wiiwaa. Zoink Games, a Swedish developer, has gone out of their way to create an entirely new add-on just for their new game. After shoving the Wiimote inside the puppet, players will be able to control the character onscreen to jump, move, shake, and execute other actions. This really is one of the strangest ways I’ve seen to control a Wii game thus far.

    Like almost all cheap third-party Wii peripherals, this one will never be successful.

    Why do you even need the peripheral? Swedes.

    Well obviously it’s targeted at little kids . .

    The kid looks like he’s really enjoying the game.

    strange? I’d call it stupid -_-

    As a father of 3 kids I think it’s a great idea. It will make the game more intuitive for the kids. The Wii controller is more of an abstract item for them.

    Nintendo should make one of those where you shove a Wii remote up Mario’s stuffed toy ass and flail it around while on-screen Mario pwns goombas.
