Man i had devil sticks when i was like 10. I loved those things

Great, now hippies can be virtual.

I really wish there were more actual games for the system that let you do fun things with more than one Wiimote.

For example, special straps to attach a Wiimote to each limb that then let you physically perform karate moves against an on-screen opponent.

Cheater. He's using the holodeck of the Enterprise to simulate it.

How about bundling all these together with pois and having Wii Acrobatics or something. (Hey, they're already having Wii Music, so why not?)

I'm also going to vote for the virtual karate idea. That's too cool to pass up.

Another awesome hack. The Wii might already be the most-hacked console of all time.

I've been gathering the best of these hacks at my site Tenspotting which does dynamic topten lists.

Cool, but entirely pointless.

Hooray! Renaissance Festival go-ers around the world rejoice!

Wii Acrobatics is another stellar idea if implemented well. Some of my pics for games to include in this bundle would be:

1-Devil Sticks, as demonstrated in that linked Utube video clip

2-Diabolo, aka Chinese YoYo

3-juggling - several ways to implement...
a) the Wiimotes themselves are the balls!!! You'd ideally want multiple wiimotes to juggle more than one ball at a time. Also heavily carpeted floors to prevent wiimote breakage.
b) the wiimotes are the hands and you press/release buttons to catch/release the ball

4-baton swinging - Like what twirlers do at American football games. WOuld need a physical centerpiece attachment to connect 2 end piece wiimotes

5-ball throwing - like a carnival game, similar to wii bowling

Heck, unlike Wii Sports, maybe even throw in a storyline/plot, like starting your own Cirque Du Soleil, and even base it off physics and even "fantasy/magical" rules

""Another awesome hack. The Wii might already be the most-hacked console of all time.""

I'm not exactly keeping track, but I believe this title is still left with XB1. AFAIK, it's hacks include bigger hd, play burned game discs, Linux, wireless connection, emulators, play even more types of multimedia files, and full fledged web browser functionality. SOme of these may be wrong, but I'm sure there are others that I don't know about and didn't include.

OMG, if you have never smoked salvia, take a good look at the background, and picture all those dots tracing while the whole screen scrolls at an angle. o0

GAH! I wanna try, but how do you get it to work?
