Wii Sqweeze is like a ThighMaster for your hands

Introducing InterAction Laboratories' Wii Sqweeze. Recently demonstrated by CEO Greg Merril, the device has two rubber grips that "allow for shoulder abduction and adduction." Supposedly, the thing was demonstrated with some kind of bow hunting PC game. As of right now, it's only in the prototype stage, but InterAction Laboratories promises native Wii compatibility sometime in 2009, which is the launch window for the peripheral.

Maybe they can get Suzanne Summers to do the commercial for it?

I'm not liking this. Not just because it is another bad third party accessory, but because I was reading the comments on various sites and people were just ripping Nintendo for this....even though Nintendo didn't make this and has no control over what these third parties make.

People always do that. Get used to it.

It's like people blaming Nintendo for all the bad 3rd party party-games.

It's like people attributing the Power Glove to Nintendo.

...Riiiight. So I'm supposed to get a 'workout' with some little 3rd party piece of crap like that? I'd probably break it... :)
