Nerf, I Thought I Knew you!

pelican-wii-nerf-sports-pack.jpgOk, developers, the Wii is different, we get it.

It appeals to casual gamers, we get it. It’s got motion control, it’s unique, WE GET IT.

So please stop making controller add-on garbage we don’t want, or need!

The Pelican Wii Nerf Sports pack may be “more sturdy” than some of the other plastic add-ons already out there for the Wii, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s still unnecessary. Nerf used to be known for great toys that got kids to play outside. They were soft, durable, and best of all, they served a real purpose. So why in the world do we need a NERF attachment for games designed to be played indoors? That’s like selling a special umbrella attachment for your television.  POINTLESS!

I’ve got a better invention, and this one everyone can use. It’s called your imagination. You see, the genius of the Wii controller is that it actually does a good job of knowing what you’re doing. The controller doesn’t need to be reminded that it’s a baseball bat, or a tennis racket, or a golf club, and guess what? Neither do you. Yes, with just a little imagination, you can *gasp* pretend that you’re swinging a racket, and low and behold, the game will do the rest! Almost like it was designed to do so. Amazing! Senior citizens are having no problem using a regular Wii remote with Wii Sports. I think that says it all.There you go, I just put $34.99 back in your pocket!

      Wii sword attachment for Zelda and maybe a Bee keepers suite attachment for Super Mario Galaxy.

      The possibilities are endless.

      actually I think the nerf game pack is a great idea, unless you don’t have any breakable in your house, or kids
