Teknocreations' InCharge Juices Wiimotes Without Contact

Elaine Chow — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 22:45:00 EDT

We've featured a couple of Wiimote charging solutions before, but here's one that's gotten around the pesky problem of charging without metal contacts—annoying if you actually use those Wiimote jackets. Teknocreations' InCharge allows you to dock up to two 'motes, silicon and all, to grab 25 hours of gameplay juice. How? Magic (i mean, inductive charging)! InCharge retails for $34.99.

Subsonic Wii Laser Sword Attachment Destined for Land Fill in a Galaxy Far, Far Away

One day Wii controller attachment manufacturers are going to run out of plastic, and the world is going to be a better place. But until that day, there's going to be a seemingly never-ending tide of white plastic crap like this "Laser Sword" attachment from French company Subsonic. It's kind of like what Wilson found last year with the Wiimote Light Sword, but adds in a motion sensor so Star Wars poseurs can activate the lights inside with a wrist flick or Star Wars kid ninja move.

These boxing gloves for the Wii come with their own air pump for easy inflation. They also come with some weird instructions:

Nope, I'm not sure what invagination means either, but I'd sure like to find out. They cost $14.86 from DealExtreme. [DealExtreme via New Launches]

Wii WeDock Appears Useful Despite Appallingly Alliterative Appellation

Charlie White — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 10:15:00 EDT

Looking for a place to stash those WiiMotes and their associated nunchucks? Here's the Wii WeDock, a storage container we didn't notice when the Brandoite junk purveyors were hawking it in a Wii-matching white color last month. But this black one caught our attention because it looks like a garbage bin for biohazard waste.

While that's not a particularly attractive comparison, the Wii WeDock looks surprisingly useful, giving you a place to put both of those Nintendo Wii controllers, out of harm's way and perhaps out of the mouths of children. That's a good thing—we've heard those things can jump up and smack you upside the head. The Wii nunchucks, that is. Or maybe the children, too.

The WeDock's one-touch "springboard" design pops up your weapon with a simple push. And if you get tired of that Nintendo Wii, just use the WeDock to store your used syringes and other biohazards you might have lying around. Or you can put your weed in it. [Brando]
