Prince gets into the Wii racket

by JC Fletcher { Oct 4th 2007 at 3:05PM }

Leave it to Prince, a real tennis racquet maker, to make a nice, high quality fake Wiimote tennis racquet attachment. Their Wii accessory is, quite simply, the nicest, most authentic-looking tennis-racquet-looking Wiimote topper that we've seen yet. Unfortunately, it's still kind of ridiculous. However, if the tiny Brando tennis racquet can increase the realistic feeling of Wii Sports, maybe a more realistic tennis racquet can do even better.

Luckily, you won't be paying Prince racquet prices for these sort-of-racquets-- Prince is marketing them at only $15. Maybe we'll get one for some very confusing Manhunt 2.

from the headline I thought you meant "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince"

I don't know which is worse, though.

I personally think that these extensions that companies keep putting out for Wii Sports is about retarded. Why would anyone need something like this to enjoy Wii Sports? I just don't see the point but maybe I am missing something.

That Prince would have been more likely to sell a little raspberry beret for the console, or some diamonds and pearls to stick to the Wiimote.

I was also mislead by the title and thought you meant "Purple Rain" Prince.

Yeah, I too was mislead by the title. But these extensions ae just getting out of hand. Soon enough they'll have a life size Master Sword attachement for the wii mote, and maybe a rocket launcher attachment for MoH Heroes 2. Oh, and why stop there? Why not make an arm cannon attachment for mP3? Yeah, I bet all of those will come out, then Nintendo will probably get sued by someone who's standing too close to the TV and then breaking it with an attachment.
