From the hey, that's a great idea department comes a conceptual rendering of what it would be like to throw caution and embarrassment to the wind and strap a pair of wiimotes to your arms. The full ad depicts a guy with a Wii controller on each punch-capable limb next to some screenshots of the Xbox titles, Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, Breakdown and Fight Night Round 3. The connection between dual wiielding action and Super Punch-Out should be obvious in your mind, though we recommend you swiftly move on to the conclusion we reached:
Namco Bandai should port Breakdown to the Wii. Immediately. The game (which had a really fun story) was critically undone by unwieldy controls and unfair combat, problems that could very well disappear when given the opportunity to beat up those pesky T'lan warriors (or hallucinated cats) by flailing your own, more reliable fists. Oh, and let's not forget the joys associated with consuming magically restorative soda and protein bars.

The games that I think could exploit this peripheral would probably be,
Wolverine first-person-slasher
Wii Punchout (Mike Tyson's Punchout 2)
and
Spiderman 3
Does anyone have others they want to add to the list?

Too shrot sighted. The Wii can have 4 Wiimotes, so you'd obviously have ones for your feet as well. Man, you'd look so cool!

I've had that idea for a while. Except, mine would have cost $20 instead of $5 to make.
Mine was an overly complicated, plastic made wrist system. This one is simple a simple, adjustable, cheap glove with a holder for the Wiimote. I'd buy it.

Wow, that's a pretty nifty concept! They even figured out how to not worry about the cord between the wiimote and nunchuck stick... it looks like he's got the cord going into the glove on the same hand, and I guess it wifis to the other gloved hand... I wouldn't have thought of that

Jackal > Actually, it goes into the second wiimote, the white one in the right glove.

Yea.
Nintendo tried this once before.
It didn't work too well.
I really hope it does this time. This is the only next gen console I'm really interested in.
