Received this image earlier today in an email, im not sure but i think its an official Nintendo promo. It really opened my eyes to the endless possibilities for addons to the wii remotes.

Remind me of the old powerglove - remember that?

Real live boxing gloves, that aren't even boxing gloves. Interesting.

It does look rather odd, I mean why would you need boxing hand holders when you can just hold the controllers in your hands. Weird

it's gotta be fake, the straps on the WiiMotes would push the 1 and 2 buttons down. Although, I had thought of this possiblility before, only in ankle straps

Did anyone else notice that the two WiiMotes don't match? One is white, the other is red.

fake or not, its a pretty cool concept that will probably have some reality, though it would also drive the cost of the game up if you had to have two wiimotes for every player

Maybe one controller for each hand. like in a boxing game u can use your left and right hands. Awesome! That would be very revolutionary.

it would create a more realistic effect if they were tied to your hands. you could have clenched fists so you could punch instead of stab

This is fake, its a fan rendering(I've seen the fans website, address eludes me now) of "the possibilities" open to development now that motion capture has been conquered, the only problem with the feet is if you are walking you need to have someway to keep you put but still mimic walking, like Rollerblades with mouse ball like movement and you inside a grounded tripod.
