As far as ghetto mods go, this one certainly takes the cake. So if you loaded up Wii Fanboy today with the intention of procuring a slice of cake, you're out of luck.
Acidmods forumer Gene0514 escaped the plastic tyranny of cheaply-made remote attachments from dubious Chinese manufacturers by creating his own Wii-Sports-Tennis-compatible racket. There's nothing hi-tech about its construction; he basically just "secured" a controller onto a badminton racket with rubber bands. Even with the wrist strap fastened onto the handle, we can't imagine Nintendo ever condoning anything as precariously-fashioned as this for its games.
Swing past the post break for more photos of the setup and its v2 model, a remote belted onto an actual tennis racket.

The dog that can play Wii
The odds of this being real are incredibly slim, so take that into consideration as you head past the post break to watch the video. While we'll agree that the video is quite hilarious, we're pretty sure the dog isn't making those moves on its own and certainly isn't tearing up the courts of Wii Sports: Tennis all by itself. Notice how the camera never pans below the dog's elbow?
Let us know what you think: fake or real?
First Wii Sports: Tennis glitch
The first glitch for Wii Sports: Tennis has come in and, when diving for an unplayable ball far to the outside of the court, the opponent Mii became stuck in the crowd and resulted in a two-on-one match up. We didn't get footage of the shot leading up to the glitch, but thankfully the fine fellow responsible for the glitch thought to grab the camera for the rest of the match.
Video is embedded into the post past the jump.
