Third Party "Riimote"

Just went on Engadget and found this, a purple Wiimote...just for Frummage

It's not the first third-party Wiimote we've seen, but if the very purple device you see above is what it purports to be, it could well be the very first to actually hit the market, albeit in Europe-only for the time being. Dubbed the "Riimote," this one comes to us from peripheral maker Snakebyte, which apparently isn't providing many details on the remote just yet but is promising that it'll be available in Europe on Feburary 8th for the not-so-bargain price of €39.99 (or just under $60). Those slightly less nostalgic about a certain purple game console than some of us can also rest assured that the controller will also be available in basic black, although it seems you'll have to stick with the official gear if you want to keep everything coordinated.

I'll always like the original white Wii Remote more than any other...it's the classic.

A Waluigi fan might be into it though...

I'll agree that the Wiimote has some cosmetic issues but that looks a bit awkward.
