CeBIT 2008: Wii Accessories for the Hardcore Casual Gamers

CeBIT is not only about Nokia 6650, the GM500 or MacBook Air exciting everybody and leaving behind the gadget loving blokes drolling all over Blu-Ray discs. Video game related accessories (and more) are present there, too, as they are already an important part of everybody's life. And, to be honest with you, I really envy my colleagues present at CeBIT for getting the chance to test all the crazy stuff that's there – the Wii Skidproof Glove, Wii Katanas and all the other mind blowing accessories that have only one goal: to keep you delighted.

Take the Wii Glove from Jetion as an example. It looks like and probably is one of the most important things a Wii fanboy should have: how many times you almost destroyed your TV set or took out one of grandma's teeth because you dropped the Wiimote (even though everybody knows how it should be used)? Well... this will be history if you get your hand in this piece of leather (and I really mean "in"), since it has a non-slip design, preventing the controller slipping out when smashing a tennis ball or punching a bad guy as hard as you can – all these while playing a Wii game, of course. It's white or red for chicks and, together with the fact that it's really useful, it's uber-cool, too: all the sk8er girls will love you if they see you wearing one.


And since you'll get the Wii Glove and you'll feel that you should never ever stop playing, what will your next problem be? To have your Nintendo Wii charged all the time, of course. Just imagine how sucky it would be to go on a long trip and find out that your battery's dead when you're close to finishing your favorite game! Well, that problem is solved too, since Softpedia has found at CeBIT the Car Charger for Wii, coming from Jetion – it will keep your console powered up and fully charged all the time, so you'll never have to worry about your battery. It has a DC12V input and a DC12V/3.15A output in case you were wondering or just like to know all the details.

Now if you have a Nintendo Wii console and you forgot to upgrade your PC in order to play the highly anticipated Age of Conan, it shouldn't be such a big deal now. Not because the MMORPG will be launched for the Wii consoles, but because you have something that will make you feel like Conan himself, without having to pay the monthly fees. And we all know that there's nothing better than a big sword like the one pictured above to make you feel like a real man.
