Thrustmaster releasing Wii Glow Saber on an unsuspecting public

by Justin McElroy on Sep 30th 2008 12:55PM

We wish we had some insight for you that could put this image into some different perspective, but it's exactly what it looks like: A lightsaber attachment for your Wiimote. You pay $35, you put one of them on your controller and it makes your pretender work better. Seriously.

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 =(

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.

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.

Leave the sex jokes to other gaming sites. I don't know why people find humor in bestiality

Some of us find a long term loving relationship.

hey fucko
its interspecies erotica

if you can watch a mr. hands video and not laugh more power to you

Shut the fuck up.

aw shmil i just watched that yesterday. Good stuff

There's something about that name "Thrustmaster" that just seems off, i just cant put my finger on it. hmmmmmmm.....

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.

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.

:)

This should sell like hotcakes to those Wii owning geniuses.

I'm going to buy 8

Ahh, Mr Kahn, finally you're becoming a crafty consumer!

oops, Nintendo. my bust... my bust..

I need my Tang... no, no just the powder....

Have you tried new Prune Tang? I love me some prune tang.

Let your soul glow!

I'd be proud to work for a company called Thrustmaster. Awesome icebreaker.

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)

"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.

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!

after this post and thread I'm gonna need counseling.

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.

Will this come bundled with WiiStrip??

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"?

Someone who's company originally made flight sticks/isn't twelve/has a sense of humor past that of a twelve year old's

Yes, how dare anyone laugh at almost implied innuendo. Sex should only be funny for prepubescent children.

So how many different controllers/addons does the wii have now?

Approximately one googolplex.

Unofficial, 3rd party? Countless.

why is being a fetishist a bad thing again?

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
