Default What Add-On Hardware can you dream of?

I just wanted to know if you wanna see any add-on hardware you would like to see.

For starters I want

1. To see a strap-on "LegMote" that you can wrap on your ankle which can be used to play some serious Martial Arts games. Maybe useful for tennis as well. this way you can REALLY move around.

2. This is a wild one... WiiSuit. A full body sensor suit. Imagine that!

i think they should make a pedal add on but make it universal so that it would work great for raceing games and it could also work for a druming game it could be the bass and other pedals and im sure they could use it for other games too like mabye a future wario ware it could simulate pumping up a boat etc.

I think its already possible to connect a Harddrive to your Wii, havent done it myself, but its somewhere in the manual I saw.

Some shotgun-like extension is being made by nintendo, similar to the lightgun.

What I would like to see is some WEIGHTS, in which you can insert your Wiimote. You could get a serious (and fun) workout from doing Wii Sports.

Nope, university and a real one. Apparently you never held a real baseballclub, golfclub, bowlingball or tennisracket (ok, maybe this one is can be same weight), but all are a lot heavier then the Wiimote. It would just make the games a bit more realistic and challenging.

But you seem to be a real smart guy starting to laugh at people but failing to put any real arguments down, so I should not go in against you.

But you just did?

And yes I have held a real tennis racket, baseball bat, bowling ball and golf club. But if you want to do any of those things, go out of your room and go do them.

Darn... as I said, you are really a smart guy.

Well, if you put it THAT way, I guess I should throw my Wii in the trash, because now I dont understand why I bought it with the Wii Sports package... Why do I play videogames at all, if I can play outside? Doh, its all so confusing...

Well, at least you came with an arguement this time. And probably there will be some flaming reply, because you need to have the last word. I guess I'll refrain from that from now on, cause I usually hate reading rant-threads myself.

Sarcasm is a total waste on some people.

Umm, I'd like to see you turn into a guy named link, dress in a green suit, adventure through villages taken over by darkness and fight monsters to save a princess. I'd also like to see you turn into a monkey, hop in a little ball, and roll around on little obstacle courses like in SuperMonkey Ball...reasons like those are why you got a Wii. I'm gonna have to agree with method of rhythm on this one... Honestly man weights in the wiimote has to be just about the most useless/pointless/WTF? idea ever. Why in the hell would u want to have weights in your remote, to lift weights you can go to a weight room and what part of "added weight" would make games more fun? If you want to play the sports realistically then go play them thats what bowling alleys and tennis courts are for. For now whats provided on the wii is pretty damn close to real. And if you dont feel like getting up and driving to the nearest court or bowling alley wii sports should suffice for the time being. I'm sure there are many more innovative ideas nintendo could throw out there rather than adding a few pounds to the controller. Unless your expecting them to haul out a 50 lb. controller extra added weight isnt gonna alter your health in any way lol.

I would like to see sports equipment (golf club, fishing rod, tennis racket, bat, etc.). A skateboard would be rather interesting. A gun for FPS games. Yes, HDTV supprt would be welcomed as well as more online interactivity.

I see what roontje is saying here (well i think I do) to make the games more realistic? But not wanting to start the flaming back up again here is a suggestion for roontje. Why not get those sandbag weights you strap round your wrist, use those to simulate the weight of the object while playing the game?

Sint - You can already buy a Golfclub, steeringwheel and tennis racquet for the Wii. Just have a look: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Joytech-Spor...8&s=videogames
