Thrustmaster releasing Wii Glow Saber on an unsuspecting public

As we've said on the Joystiq Podcast, if you're unable to have Wii fun without an attachment like this, you're tantamount to a fetishist unable to climax without the introduction of leather-bound dominatrices or rubber replications of farm animals. So, feel free to pick up the two-pack, but just make sure the store's empty beforehand, OK?

Too soon. Would've been better a year from now
By then the inevitable Motion Plus Lightsaber game will be out.

I assume we'll see another mass of plastic peripherals with the release of Wii Sports 2 then?
At least having a real sword might make for resistance when sword fighting.

Leave my rubber farm animal fetish alone....that was offensive =(
Lokno @ Sep 30th 2008 1:05PM
Your treatment of this information is only aided by the product companies name. What else do they make? That was rhetorical, I think I know/don't want to know.
Burritoclock @ Sep 30th 2008 1:30PM
They make this and about a million other crappy accessories.

Thrustmaster? That was my name in Fabe 1 when I would pelvic thrust everyone... and fart.
HMMMM good times.

"Thrustmaster" was my nickname in high school.
please @ Sep 30th 2008 1:10PM
Leave the sex jokes to other gaming sites. I don't know why people find humor in bestiality
Shagittarius @ Sep 30th 2008 1:18PM
Some of us find a long term loving relationship.

brian @ Sep 30th 2008 2:22PM
Shut the fuck up.
theturtle363 @ Sep 30th 2008 2:25PM

Osman @ Sep 30th 2008 1:32PM
There's something about that name "Thrustmaster" that just seems off, i just cant put my finger on it. hmmmmmmm.....
Grammar freak @ Sep 30th 2008 1:12PM
Ah, thrustmaster, a sad casualty of the fading flight sim market. (homeland security?)

"Hey, Nitendo is making off like a fat RAT with this useless add-on plastic... We gotta get paid too!"
Sigh... Next thing you know nintendo gonna bring back R.O.B. for it's next console that-i-will-refuse-to-buy-already.
Slim Pickinz96 @ Sep 30th 2008 1:28PM
Haha USELESS?? My good sir!, you mean to tell me the Mini tennis rackets were of no use?
The cute little golf club worthless??
With these sabers one can deflect beams from any blaster rifle! No matter model/make. Think before you speak.
:)
Shagittarius @ Sep 30th 2008 1:17PM
This should sell like hotcakes to those Wii owning geniuses.
Mr Khan @ Sep 30th 2008 1:29PM
I'm going to buy 8
samfish @ Sep 30th 2008 1:32PM
Ahh, Mr Kahn, finally you're becoming a crafty consumer!
HB96st @ Sep 30th 2008 1:17PM
oops, Nintendo. my bust... my bust..
Misframed @ Sep 30th 2008 1:17PM
I need my Tang... no, no just the powder....
Shagittarius @ Sep 30th 2008 1:19PM
Have you tried new Prune Tang? I love me some prune tang.
Shagittarius @ Sep 30th 2008 1:22PM
Let your soul glow!
Lone Starr @ Sep 30th 2008 1:22PM
I'd be proud to work for a company called Thrustmaster. Awesome icebreaker.
CJLopez @ Sep 30th 2008 1:33PM
Looking at that desing, makes me wonder if they designed that to be compatable with the motion+, as I see, it fits perfectly down there.
Man, i'm willing to get this, already for Force Unleashed (it may no be 1:1 lightsaber gamplay, but its closer than what PS360 version can bring)
samfish @ Sep 30th 2008 1:35PM
"if you're unable to have Wii fun without an attachment like this, you're tantamount to a fetishist unable to climax without the introduction of leather-bound dominatrices or rubber replications of farm animals."
I don't NEED those, but that's never stopped my mistress from making me crawl around on my knees while oinking and forcing me to hump the big, rubber pig doll with her whip.
xFenixKnightx (Mr ESC Resurrection Force) @ Sep 30th 2008 1:36PM
Nintendo is slick, its not enough that they have the kiddies, the soccer moms and the oldfolks homes going bannas over the Wii, they're trying to penetrate the pr0n lovers market and cater to the Starwars freaks at the same time. It's rumble enabled mirite? These HAVE to be sold in the sex shops!
Genius!
rTwelve @ Sep 30th 2008 1:40PM
after this post and thread I'm gonna need counseling.
Makoto99 @ Sep 30th 2008 1:41PM
I can't believe so many people have never heard of Thrustmaster. Now I know I'm really old :(
I still have my Thrustmaster PC joystick, though I've long since lost my copy of Falcon 3.0.
PojoMofo @ Sep 30th 2008 2:32PM
Will this come bundled with WiiStrip??
Ignatius @ Sep 30th 2008 2:39PM
Everytime I walk by accessories by this company in a store, I giggle a little inside.
Who could be stupid enough to name their company "Thrustmaster"?
TFoK (Naked Peach Defense Force) @ Sep 30th 2008 3:46PM
Someone who's company originally made flight sticks/isn't twelve/has a sense of humor past that of a twelve year old's
Ignatius @ Sep 30th 2008 4:02PM
Yes, how dare anyone laugh at almost implied innuendo. Sex should only be funny for prepubescent children.
Slayer @ Sep 30th 2008 2:44PM
So how many different controllers/addons does the wii have now?
Brendon @ Sep 30th 2008 4:11PM
Approximately one googolplex.
Mr Khan @ Sep 30th 2008 4:45PM
Unofficial, 3rd party? Countless.
zmog @ Sep 30th 2008 4:37PM
why is being a fetishist a bad thing again?
cozza99 @ Oct 1st 2008 2:00AM
Why is this such a big deal? We've had these things produced by a company called Pulse in Australia for something like a year now. It's nothing new. They sold like hotcakes when The Force Unleashed came out, oh yeah, they're only $20 I think down here. And if you work at a games retailer and get them at cost price, they're ridiculously cheap.

Little tip joystiq:
official wii storage solution/game announcements/next gen systems = news
useless crap already being made by every random guy with a factory = not news
