I give you...

...the Wii Helm (http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/wiihelm.shtml?cpg=50T)!

...

Okay, it might not be TOTAL crap when used with this (http://wiihacks.blogspot.com/2007/12/head-tracking-vr-using-wiimote.html).

OR you could use... DUCT TAPE \o/

BUT, does Duct tape have the Wii Helm logo on it? I didn't think so...

...and Duct tape would leave a sticky residue on the Wiimote...not to mention pull some hair! Ouch!

I was still undecided whether to buy a Wii or not. But this has definatley made my mind up...

....I have no words for this....

or for anyone who cant play Wii for more then 10 minutes due to fatiuge.

and besides wii sports, its super inconvenient for every other game!!

try playing brawl like that...

Strika, you couldn't play brawl with that. You MIGHT be able to play a racing game, but ONLY if you didn't tilt the Wiimote on the side...which it's not. Doesn't look like it uses the Nunchuck controller at all.

wow, that video officially made me hate the wii

This has to be a joke, but even though I do see a possible use for this. What if they made an FPS that required the use of 2 Wiimotes, one, which would be in the Wiihelm, would control the camera(s), while the remote in your hand could be the targeting reticule... it would almost be as if you were looking around... it could work... maybe... sort of...

No... and while its not a joke, it's also not officially supported... think of it as a Sped-cial edition of the tennis racket shell.

Hell, that helmet would proably make your head fall off from playing wii sports.

"If you thought playing Wii with the Wii Remote made you look retarded, wait until you try the new Wii Helm!" Seriously though, no.

I'd like to try it, but I wouldn't buy it.

This peripheral would enjoy much better sales if there were some games that exploited its potential.

For instance, an updated Leisure Suit Larry for the Wii could include mini-games like "Head bobbing challenge" that could showcase the Wii Helm.

They do NOT have a LSL for the Wii...do they?

whats an LSL?

last line of my sig, read it

yeah, the johny lee thing with Head tracking would be awesome. I would rather do that then get wii fit.

whats an LSL?

Leisure Suit Larry. Basically something that Jack Thompson should be up in arms over instead of GTA.

Turn that into a device for the head tracking software and your good. Otherwise send it off to the landfill.

For my 400th post I would like to tell these people something simple.

WTF!!!!

How many peripherals are there going to be for the Wii???
There are the sword/sheild things for Zelda...
The tennis racket, bat, golf club for Wii Sports...
The Guitar Hero 3 Guitar...
The WiiFit Board-thing...
and now a helmet?

Granted, most of those items are 3rd party...
but still.

don't forget the wii gun thing for umbrella chronicles and archery whatnot

Doesnt matter how bad the products are mental people will still buy them for their kids.
So until they stop selling, these crap products are still going to sell lol.

I think this has a more significant meaning........its a head gear so you dont get knocked out by other peoples wii motes....... i don't know its a guess

Probably not...this looks like a ThinkGeek.com exclusive, and they're notorious for ridiculously unnecessary geeky items...and this definitely qualifies. Even more than the tea that they sell that's hand-picked by a rare species of monkey...
