Nyko to make bizarre Wii Party Station

If we were to attempt to describe the Wii Party Station, you would think we were making it up. So, straight from Nyko's mouth comes this description, with only the briefest of interruptions from us. "Combining multiplayer conveniences with food and drink storage, (Finally!) the Party Station is one of the most unique Wii products (possibly), but also one of the most useful (doubtful). Multiple LCD scoreboards allows gamers to keep track of multiplayer face-offs (when the TV just isnt enough), while the Party Station's built-in fan keeps hands cool during the most heated of tournaments. (But wait, what if we get hungry?) When it's time to eat, the Party Station's built-in snack and dip bowls keep the food coming, while drinks stay upright in four cup holders, including four supplied freezable cup sleeves to keep them chilled. (Freezable ... cup ... sleeves.)"
Forget Resident Evil 7 or whatever the kids are excited for now. This is our new white whale. This is the innovation we simply must capture on film at E3. Our thirst quenching and the thirst quenching of our children's children could hang in the balance!

I was just talking with my friend about when I play Wii I have problems simultanously keeping my drinks cold, keeping my drinks from falling over, keeping my hands cool, and keeping my chips well within reach. Not to mention how I need another score counter for my games, in case for some reason I am playing video games yet can't look at the screen.

Possibly the best crappy add on idea ever

The person who invented - nay, funded - this...this...thing, needs to be charged with crimes against humanity.
Seriously, Saddam's chemical weapons have NOTHING on this.

Out of all the consoles this generation, the wii is getting the most abuse from money hungry companies. I still shake my head in disgust when I see those plastic tennis racket shells that go over the wiimote for 20 bucks.
Whether I like them or not, it seems the wii just may pass the ipod up on the number of periphals.

This sounds sweet! Now I can keep track of my bowling domination and keep my beers cold!
