Wii Sports Cuff harnesses Wii Remotes, raises eyebrows

Have you ever wanted to whip that Wii Remote halfway across the room, then snap it back into your waiting hand with a flick of your wrist? Yeah, we haven't either. But now you can, thanks to the inexplicable Wii Sports Cuff. It slices, it dices, it ... okay, all it does is extend 13 inches, like a retractable dog leash. And it must go at a 40%-off sale price of just $5.99! Seriously. It must go. Please. Anybody?

These third party manufacturers are morons.
JodyAnthony @ Apr 5th 2007 3:03PM
what a terrible idea.

Wow, this is like water-wings on a retard or something.
Wii Cuffs- for the true Wiitard.

ROFL, that's all I have to say.

Terribly stupid; but it should be mandatory for every moron that's chucked a Wii remote through a tv/window/what-have-you.

Good. Now maybe those stupid fucking Japanese kids'll stop super-gluing Wii-motes to their hands...
Farseer @ Apr 5th 2007 3:33PM
@ AoE
Yeah, and there's just enough extension for the thing to whip back and hit them in the junk.
Save the plasma screen and satisfy a Darwin award at the same time.
Zertoss @ Apr 5th 2007 3:43PM
Heh. At 13 in., the strap is probably still long enough for your average idiot to smash the TV and whip it back right into their bewildered faces.
vadermaggot @ Apr 5th 2007 4:01PM
with two of these you could be a ninja master.

@ jack of no trades
los.... o you didn't even show up yet? well this is a bad idea anyway.
Rubang B @ Apr 5th 2007 4:25PM
@Zertoss, who in the hell plays games within 13 inches of their TV?

Nintendo Fans = WIMPS
come on you F'kin nerds hold the damn Wii-mote tighter put some muscle into it and stop acting like 12 year old girls who've just met the backstreet boys you dumb fudge packers

@ FDG:
You're so right, the rate at which every one of us Wii owners is buying these things is incredible!
We pretty much all lack the motor skills to hold onto the remote properly because we're so excited about meeting the backstreet boys.

You guys just dont see the potential here. This is perfect for a star wars game where you have to use the force to get your light saber unstuck from the ice! Just step on the wiimote then lift your arm then let your foot off and whamo, your a gimpy luke skywalker! I hope they make this thing mandatory for some games in the future.
JodyAnthony @ Apr 5th 2007 4:42PM
accidental, that was quite possibly the funniest comeback I have ever seen on this site.
Poisoned Al @ Apr 5th 2007 4:43PM
So now the wiimote can slip out of your hand, smash your TV, THEN whip back and smash you in the face?
I'LL TAKE TEN MY GOOD SIR!

I want one, and I don't even have a wii. I just want to hook up random stuff, and throw it at friends.
Blazur @ Apr 5th 2007 5:11PM
See, now it would make more sense it they added some weight to that harness so you're actually getting more of a workout when flailing your arms around. Sort of like those power walkers that have weights in their hands.
TheRockBoS @ Apr 5th 2007 5:44PM
Castlevania for Wii anyone?
ill trooper @ Apr 5th 2007 5:51PM
Is that for the new Wii Sports 3: PaddleBall™ game? Does it whip back at you like a retractable key-ring holder or dog leashes?
Or does it rotate freely around, for the new Wii Sports 4: Hula Hoop™ game?
Stick_Man @ Apr 5th 2007 6:08PM
friggen sweet... screw the wimote. I'm attaching this thing to my combat ready blade To sword. I'm so gonna be like that guy in ninja scroll.
Rubang B @ Apr 5th 2007 7:08PM

My dog loves it, sepcially when it make Cockadoodle scream sound. When you slingshot this chicken and it actually fly pretty far! Looks funny too.

This chicken saved my life.
Having been sent to Guantanamo Bay for telling a secret service agent the Laura Bush used Bisquick and not real AllPurpose flour, I had given up hope of ever seeing my family again. Months of daily interrogations turned into years of isolation, until finally, a screaming chicken came diving into my cage on the Cuban isle.
"Cockadoodle!" he yelled, and landed at my feet. I knew this meant he was there to break me out, and we began planning our escape. With his plucky talons, he latched onto my fingers as I pulled him into the slingshot position, and, as I released him, he drug me to safety and Sangrias in Miami beach.
Thank you, Slingshot Flying Chicken With Scream Sound. You saved me!

Joystiq readers I'm greatly disappointed, is no one but me thinking "DAMN this would go good with some kind of God of War Wii"?
