Two useless accessories become one

by JC Fletcher { Mar 27th 2008 at 12:45PM }

CYBER Gadget has made significant technological strides in the field of unnecessary Wii accessories, combining two of the least helpful accessories in one package. The CYBER Smash Grip combines a Wiimote controller grip thing with a D-pad thumbstick cover, and adds (as a bonus!) a thing that makes the A button stick out more for some reason.

If we were going to get some kind of controller for, uh, Smashing, we're pretty sure we'd go ahead and spend the extra for a Classic Controller instead of dropping 1,280 yen ($12.75) for this thing. Not that this thing is being marketed with Brawl in mind or anything. "Smash Grip" is just a catchy name, right?

Wow, I'm slow. It took me a moment to the get Spice Girls picture in the bottom, until I read the subject again.

+1 JC, +1 INDEED (yeah, I'm a Spice fan)

I still don't get it...

Spice Girls have a song called '2 Become 1'

Lol at the Spice Girls at the bottom. =P

BRILLIANT Spice Girls reference! Did you ever get the praise you deserved for that Bell Biv DeVoe one a couple months back? If not.. I just praised you.

I swear it took me 10 minutes to figure out what the heck the spice girls were doing here... I must say, very smart one though!

If you find the accessory so irrelevant, then why posting about it? you know, there's no need on posting absolutely every little tiny piece of news floating around on the Internet.
Me and my RSS feed reader would very much appreciate a little filtering.

This piece or garbage reminded me of somthing. Anyone have the NYKO adapter for the classic controller? Just speculation but I think that the NYKO (comfort grip adapter / shell...not sure what it is called) grip has some potential for dev's to exploit. For those who are not sure it is a shell that you drop the classic controller into and then mount the wii mote to it. I personally like the feel of it and it quickly came to mind that this setup would have some potential with a FPS, Flight, or Driving game. Still unsure...the Classic controller would provide all the buttons needed for dev features and also provide two analog sticks and the wii mote would provide IR for aiming and motion control for steering. It could be bundled with a future game after the royalties are worked out with NYKO of course. Just wanted to spread some interest in case a dev is reading this.

I would buy a shell if it made the B button a shoulder button. That's about it...

ph15h @ Mar 27th 2008 5:35PM

what I was thinking

Dahk @ Mar 27th 2008 10:26PM

Oh! And the C button a Y button right above A.

Casey @ Mar 27th 2008 6:08PM

These cheap little "accessories" and cheapo games are the downfall of the wii.

@casey: How so?? Selling a lot of games and accessories seems like a sign of success to me. Besides, not everybody might find this, or most of the games you would probably dislike, crap. And success with games and accessories might lead to more developers developing games for the Wii. Again, they might not be what you want, but that doesn't say much for the Wii's success. Last time I checked Nintendo was still having shortages of Wii's all over the world...
