This has to be a viral campaign of some sort, but seeing as though we’re on the cusp of a three-day weekend I’ll bite. GameStop is selling three unusual Nintendo Wii bundles that, I don’t know, belie all logic. There’s the “Take a Bath With a Buddy” bundle, the “Pirate Tattoo” bundle, and the “Summer Fun” bundle. Yeah.

You guessed correctly (I assume)! It’s a lightsaber. Well, let’s be honest: it’s a glowing rod that projects from the end of your Wiimote and makes lightsaber noises. And, geniuses that they are, the makers decided to make sure this thing didn’t support the MotionPlus add-on. Sure, the game they’re going to bundle it with (Republic Heroes) doesn’t support it either, but come on, just make the bottom end extend a little more.

The story goes like this: Jimmy Fallon challenged Tiger Woods to Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 on the Wii. Jimmy embarrasses Tiger in Times Square. And then both of them made fools of themselves on Late Night. We won’t spoil the surprise, but lets just say they both play like crap and our own Doug Aamoth would be happy to conduct a golfing clinic for either one.

You know who loves the Wii Motion Plus? Doug Aamoth. You know who’s about to write about the Wii Motion Plus? Me, Nicholas Deleon. Such is life. Anyway, one small problem arises when you use the Wii Motion Plus: you can no longer outfit the controller with those fun plastic accessories—a pistol, for example. Italy’s Nihoto fixes all that with its new line of accessories that do indeed work with the Wii Motion Plus.

This little doodad from Japan promises to convert your PS and PS2 controllers into Wiimotes. It’s about $19 bucks, which is one dollar cheaper than the Classic Controller, but who knows what it will end up being after shipping and such. I much prefer the Nyko Wing that I’ve been using.

Hey, who are we to judge if you need help installing the Wii MotionPlus? Perhaps you grew up next to a GM factory in Flint, MI and breathed paint fumes for 10 years until the plant was shut down. It doesn’t matter. Go grab your Wii controllers, MotionPlus add-on, and watch the video after the jump closely. Remember, you can always play the video again if you didn’t get it the first time.

Oh man, who remembers playing Mad Dog McCree? T’was a Duck Hunt-style shooter except instead of animated ducks, the game featured live-action mediocre actors. I had it on 3DO — 3DO!

Oh how it must be wonderful to live in Japan. Not only do they get to worship a life size stature of Gundam, but Club Nintendo members will soon get a chance to win blue Wii Remotes and Nunchuks. And all we have over here are dingy white ones we had to pay for. Blah.

Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter is prognosticating that the price of the Nintendo Wii will drop to $199 in time for the holidays, pointing out that the console’s supply has finally eclipsed its demand. Meanwhile, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata recently said that his company plans to introduce great games instead of lowering the price of the little white box.

I’ll keep this review short and sweet, folks.

If you’re looking for a second, third or even fourth Wiimote for your Wii then allow me to suggest picking up Nyko’s Wand. It’s priced $5 less than Nintendo’s Wii Remote and you’ll never know the difference when playing with your Wii Wii. It even comes with a blue condom!

Normally going for around $40 elsewhere, Amazon has the Wii version of LEGO Batman for just $20. It’s priced at $20 on all the other consoles, too, if you want a version other than the Wii version.

Oh, to be young again and be playing Super Mario Bros for the first time. Not possible, unfortunately, but at least I can play New Super Mario Bros for the first time — and I just did. The new side-scrolling Wii Mario game was playable here at E3 and we spent a good amount of time checking it out. Watch closely and you can see Peter twice die on the first two things in the game that can possibly kill you. Nice job, Ha.

Red Steel 2, which just got its first real gameplay debut yesterday, is now out in the open and being played by every Tom, Dick and Harry who passes by. Of course, we had to take a shot at it. I’m happy to say I was pleasantly surprised by how it controlled, although I’ve never mastered the Wii shooter style. It helped that the guy in front of us was hopeless; why learn from my own mistakes when I can learn from his ahead of time?

We’re skimp on details until we hit the Nyko booth, but we have images of Nyko’s upcoming accessories for this year. They all seem to be pretty straightforward. So without further ado, I present to you the DSi Zoom Case, PSP Charge Grip Flex, and the Wii Type Pad Pro. There’s the Speakercom 360, but there aren’t any images of it yet. No release dates or prices have been announced, but we’re told that they are coming out this year.
