Wii Sports getting tennis racket, golf club and baseball bat controller attachments in Japan

Welcome to another edition of completely useless Wii remote attachments. Last year we showed you the somewhat useless piece of plastic called the Wii steering wheel. Ubisoft’s Monster 4×4 & GT Pro Series includes a free Wii steering wheel attachment made by Thrustmaster.

Today we promise nothing and still under-deliver. PEGA’s sport pack for Wii will set you back 2,780 Yen (that’s $23 or €18) and you can pre-order it at Visavis for a late January release. For that price you get four head-mounts for the Wii remote. These plastic attachments are the 40cm (16 inch) long baseball bat, a tennis racket, and a golf club, all for use with Wii Sports. Special thanks to Troidal for digging this up.

Um…people already knock over lamps and beat up loved ones just by waving their tiny wiimotes…doesn’t really make sense to make it easier for them to break stuff

But don’t you see the logic? The collateral damage doesn’t matter, with these attachments playing is MORE realistic!

Well it may make the remote easier to hold for baseball, but it’s not worth the dough.

You use the side of the remote for Golf so the club attachment is just plain wrong, as well as utterly pointless.

The tennis game didn’t seem like it wanted to work without the tennis attachment…anyway only really stupid people letting themselves get too excited and not remembering/being aware of their surroundings get hurt so it’s their own fault really if they get hurt. I got really excited playing the boxing game but I was still totally aware of my surroundings at all times and was careful not to let myself bump into anything or hit myself or something like that. I feel a little sorry for those people, it must be so embarrassing to have to admit you got hurt simply because you let yourself get overexcited over a videogame and not being careful/playing safe. LOL

I’ve seen this pack in the shops before, thought about it and then realised that these really have no purpose. There really is no difference when playing tennis between swinging the wii remote or swinging a wii remote that’s in another bit of plastic to me. I’d much rather spend my coin on games.
