Wii Power Glove for Wii


Nintendo’s next-en console Wii went on sale on Friday in UK with selling off somewhat 50,000 units in just small span of 12 hours that tells direly the success of Wii console around the regions including US where it sold more than 6 million hardware in eight days and homeland Japan as well. But Europe is facing some delivery shortage as the buyers are complaining the scarcity of the consoles since more than 1200 units have been pulled off online within hours after the launch of the console. But Nintendo is trying to eradicate the problem soon.

Wii-mote is pocketing a great feedback on the part of young as well as veteran gamers for performing extrovert gameplay. Now some modification has been deployed to the same motion sensitive controller that has brought entirely a new appearance to the Wii-mote. The controller is entirely designed in the shape of glove that’s why named Wii Power Glove. The glove comes with the finger trigger with incorporated Wii-mote in just back side of the glove. The power glove seems quite power hungry which needs two batteries to make a cool play with the glove. You need not press any button because the integrated trigger can make a vigorous shower of gunfire on to your target at the simple click of trigger.

Logitech Harmony Adapter announced for PS3


PS3 owners, sit up and take notice - Logitech has just announced that its Logitech Harmony Adapter for the PS3 is readily available, letting you use your Harmony universal remote control with Sony’s latest gaming console. It will offer support for all 51 PS3 commands (yes, count them!), where you will be able to navigate the PS3 XrossMediaBar from afar (as long as the range permits, that is) without having to tussle with the PS3 controller’s form factor that was meant more for gaming than anything else. Those who are interested can pick up the Logitech Harmony Adapter for $59.99 while our friends across the pond can only do so in July.

GP2X Wiz Game System


“Not another handheld console!” might be the exact words when you come across the GP2X Wiz Game System from Gamepark Holding. Well, this offers nothing new in terms of portable gaming, although it seems to skew more towards computer-based hardware, with a Linux-based operating system and 1GB of internal memory which can be further augmented by an SD memory card slot. The GP2X Wiz is the sequel to the GP2X, where it boasts multimedia support for that added dimension to portable entertainment, while the 533Mhz 3D accelerator plus flash engine support handles all its games with aplomb. Each purchase will come with 12 games already preloaded, and some of these are demos of future titles. We wonder how the touchscreen display function is going to be exploited by developers for new, engaging titles to be released. Do you think the asking price of $179.90 is a wee bit too high?
