Wii Party Station put to the party test

by David Hinkle { Jul 17th 2007 at 12:15PM }

How could we have possibly missed Joystiq testing out one of the most bizarre, yet incredibly intriguing, accessories we've ever seen? Now, sure there are cans of soda resting there, but we all know what kind of chilled beverages this unit is begging for. Not only that, but there's a sweet little drawer on the bottom of the thing, which is something we didn't even know about. How is this thing going to be only 25 bucks?!

Wow. This ACTUALLY looks kinda cool. When i read about it I thought it was the stupidest idea ever, but it almost seems worth the money It'd make a good appearance on my coffee table.

but the chips will have to go. I HATE greasy controllers.

I agree with you about the chips, no greasy Wiimotes!

I agree with coccacola13, you'd have to be crazy to mix chips with gaming. Ya might as well make it JAX! Stick some pretzels in there, or something that your friends can eat w/o getting your wiimote all nasty. Those things aren't cheap!
I know what mine would have, 4 cans of Mt Dew, and the center would be filled with Swedish Fish! You'd be ready to play all night long! =)

It's only $25 b/c it doesn't charge the Wii Remotes. Add that functionality and I am in!!

@Justin

Why make it charge? The last thing I need is a wire stretching across the room from the coffee table. This isn't supposed to be a use-it-all-the-time thing, but a use-it-at-a-party thing: the remote holders are somewhere to place *your* remote while *someone else* is bowling

That's not true Justin. Follow the link called "only 25" in the article above and you will read that it does charge the remotes. It also chills up to four beers.

Uhhmm...Keep reading, cause it apparently does NOT charge, nor does it actually chill your beverages; they supply 4 freezer-safe cups, that's it.
Not as exciting once you get into the nuts and bolts.
So...I geuss they need another product similar to this, except BETTER; one that charges 4 wiimotes and chills beverages AND holds 4 nunchuks.
That's what I'd prefer, anyway (although I don't really care about the beverage chilling anyhow).
