'Amazing, exciting, fantastic and training body reaction'

This '8 in 1' set of Wiimote attachments from the beloved Dragon Electronics has so many weapons. There's an axe, a pistol, a scimitar, a sword, two daggers, and even a shield. Wait, that's seven things (and the shield isn't really a weapon, so it doesn't fit in our classification system.) Apparently, the gun comes in two pieces, each comprising one of the "8 in 1." They couldn't call it "7 in 1?" Dragon's ability to sell useless remote adornments is that contingent on there being eight of them in the package? We'd think the awesome rusty finish on the swords, shield, and axe would be enough of a draw.

In addition to the quote used in the title, the box declares its contents " Physical exercise ideal Wii accessories product and good for health," while assuring prospective buyers that there is "no hazaro." If it's both ideal and free from hazaro, we see no reason not to buy this!

We were going to make a joke about playing Golden Axe with the axe attachment, but we remembered that the Wiimote is terrible for the Genesis games with which it is functional, meaning that in all likelihood you'd have the axe sitting on your lap as you played. And that would be ridiculous.

[Update: corrected the bit about Wiimote incompatibility.]

Anyone else see a lawsuit in the making?

Generally speaking, you can play Genisis titles with the Remote.

If these would in any way benefit the gameplay, they would be pretty cool. Alas...

This would be a neat set to have when Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors finally makes it stateside

Might be good for Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire. Point is, if you add some sort of sword attachment to the Wiimote, there will might be a requirement for proper sword technique since there is an added weight and momentum, and you will tire easily if you do not cut with it properly. Better exercise!

The nunchuck shield might be good for Zelda: Twilight Princess. What they need to do about the problem with it being hard to hit the A,-,+,1, and 2 buttons for the pistol is make the gun connect to the back of the remote and have buttons on the side of the handle the thumb is on.
