More Wiimote junk: 'Wii Cooking Mother Kit' -- Joystiq

More Wiimote junk: 'Wii Cooking Mother Kit'

by Christopher Grant { Jun 29th 2007 at 4:00AM }

We've got a drawer set aside at Joystiq HQ for all the Wiimote doodads that accessory makers want us to buy. Admittedly, we haven't bought anything to put in there yet but, then again, the accessory makers haven't yet made that grappling hook accessory we've been dreaming of.

That said, this "Cooking Mother" kit, custom made for all the Cooking Mamas out there, is just impractical enough to tie this Zelda junk for most useless Wiimote accessory ever. Impressive to be sure, but it's still not going into our drawer.

Who buys this shit?

BPM @ Jun 29th 2007 4:48AM

Oi.

That's all I have to say...

Tim Braun @ Jun 29th 2007 5:22AM

Now that's just retarded. All these companies trying to bank off the Wii's success with their shitty products. It's a damn shame.

GalileoAce @ Jun 29th 2007 5:33AM

Where is Joystiq HQ anyway?

Rubang B @ Jun 29th 2007 5:33AM

I think this is contagious. I just built a scalpel attachment for Trauma Center.

megapenguinx @ Sep 1st 2007 1:19AM

I'll buy it!
then stab hobos and operate on them

FrankTheCrank @ Jun 29th 2007 6:49AM

If you buy this, you need to be seriously beaten.

Kye @ Jun 29th 2007 7:25AM

Now little Timmy can loose an eye AND a finger!

zwarrior @ Jun 29th 2007 9:56PM

Cooking "Mother" lol, too formal.

Konny @ Jun 29th 2007 8:26AM

Why not buy REAL utensils, REAL food, and cook a FREAKIN, REAL meal.

JodyAnthony @ Jun 29th 2007 8:35AM

hahahaha, "cooking mother"

TheCassidy @ Jun 29th 2007 8:38AM

Wiimote attachments are the new ET.

Some day, the Nevada desert will be full of these.

Jonathan Tran @ Jun 29th 2007 8:49AM

I do really wonder who buys this crap.

I see these attachments at gamestop in the bargain bin knocked doen to $3, so I don't think they are selling well.

accidental @ Jun 29th 2007 8:55AM

"Trust me, we should make 5 million of them, ALL of them will sell, it's practically GUARANTEED."

sjenky @ Jun 29th 2007 9:01AM

Come on guys, can't we positive about anything that's not geared towards us? I can imagine a family having loads of fun with this..
We don't go around dissing Trivial Pursuit JR. because it's too easy. (Or at least, I don't).

Boss Tempo @ Jun 29th 2007 9:16AM

This is exactly what I'd expect for that little wii thing. Plastic products for your little sister to play with. Serious gamers need not apply.

kingofwale @ Jun 29th 2007 9:18AM

>Why not buy REAL utensils, REAL food, and cook a FREAKIN, REAL meal.

well, you can't, because you can't find receipts of all the dishes on the game. That WOULD be a great feature, but heck, I guess they were too busy teaching the lady to speak English to put that in there. ;)

JodyAnthony @ Jun 29th 2007 9:30AM

This is exactly what I'd expect for that little Boss Tempo thing. Thinking he is better than someone else because he buys a different toy than they do. Intelligence need not apply.

HotShotX @ Jun 29th 2007 9:33AM

With all these shitty attachments, I wanna see some company go off the deep end and make a penis/dildo attachment for the wiimote, and make history with the first AO-Rated ACCESSORY by the ESRB.

wonder if you could use these on a real stove

Dustin @ Jun 29th 2007 9:42AM

Must fight urge to buy, it's to hard, oh fuck it I am getting them.

You see there is such a thing as being TO hardcore a gamer, when you buy an elite just for the HDMI port you have a problem and should seek help.

Or embrace it and just buy every stupid thing like this that comes along, hopefully this will work with Ninjabread Man... HA!

derek @ Jun 29th 2007 10:33AM

Dustin, buddy...pal.

If you find yourself actively fighting the urge to buy this piece of shit, YOU'RE the one who should seek help.

This has nothing to do with being a 'hardcore' gamer.

Dustin @ Jun 29th 2007 10:57AM

That's what my post said, it said I need help. Here, I will quote myself to help you:

"You see there is such a thing as being TO hardcore a gamer, when you buy an elite just for the HDMI port you have a problem and should seek help."

In this case the "when you buy" is referring to me.

Anyway thanks for your concern, but I was being tongue and cheek, I don't mind that I buy stupid shit like this, it's $20 bucks and worth the laugh to me, but then you might value the $20 more than me and so you wouldn't buy it, and the world keeps turning.
