Just Because I'm Amazed By this Fact: Nintendo Sells 46,000 Wii Remotes a Day.

According to Nintendo, the company has sold more than 65 million Wii remotes in the United States since the launch of the console in November 2006. It averages 46,000 Wii Remotes sold every day.

"This demonstrates that Wii owners like to play and they like to play together. They're not the stereotypical gamers playing alone in their parents' basement," Nintendo says.

Here's the breakdown of U.S. Wii remote controller sales by retail tracking group NPD:
• 30.41 million included with the Wii hardware
• 12.92 million sold with Wii Play
• 18.56 million white versions sold separately
• 2.44 million black versions sold separately
• 467,500 pink versions sold separately
• 465,200 blue versions sold separately

NPD also reports Nintendo has sold an additional 52.9 million Nunchuk controllers in the United States through September.

On November 7, Nintendo will launch the The Wii Remote Plus, a new controller that combines the traditional Wii remote and Wii RemotePlus add-on.

Nintendo Wants You to Waste Money on Another Useless Remote

IGN is reporting that the new Wii Remote Plus is a go. So get ready to discard your Wii Remote and Motion Plus add on (don't get mad you only spent $40-$50 on them) and get ready to shell out more money for a new remote. It's not like the Motion Plus add on wasn't useful. We had what 3 or 4 games we could use it on. It seems like a wise move.  At least we are not in a recession!

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced at a press briefing in Japan last night the existence of the Wii Remote Plus, a combination of the Wii Remote and Wii MotionPlus peripheral. "For the convenience of the users, Nintendo is developing Wii Remote Plus, which integrates Wii Remote and Wii MotionPlus," Iwata said. "We will announce the details of this controller on our web sites and through other media at some later date."

New MojoWijo Turns Wii Remote into a High Tech Vibrator

Check out the Mojowijo, the new device that can be attached to the Nintendo Wii remote and can be used as a vibrator!

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

The main appeal of this product isn't the ability to simply transform your Wii remote into a vibrator.  They've figured out how to let you control others' Wii Remote vibrators remotely.

Mojowijo transforms your Nintendo Wii remote control into a next generation body stimulation device.  The motions of one wiimote are transformed into vibrations in another wiimote. Literally allowing you to 'share the mojo' with anyone either in the same room or anywhere else in the world over the internet.
The device is attached to the accessory port on a Nintendo Wii remote control. The control is then connected to a bluetooth enabled PC running Mojowijo software. Using Mojowijo's patent pending Motion2Vibration technology, the device is able to transform the varying motions of the control into appropriate vibration signals and send them to another selected device. 

They currently aren't for sale, but they are ready to start beta testing the Wiibrators soon.  Sign up HERE if you're interested in being a guinea pig.

FIRST LOOK - BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD VIDEO GAME TRAILER

I can't wait until Tuesday, September 7, 2010 when I can finally get my hands on the BATMAN: BRAVE and THE BOLD video game. I am extremely excited to play this game especially with all the great team-ups available to play within the game.

If you're like me and you need a little Batman video game fix prior to Tuesday, below is a very impressive trailer for this a much anticipated game.

BACK TO THE FUTURE Getting It's Own Video Game

It's about time.  One of the greatest movies ever made is finally getting a decent video game.  The USA Today is reporting that Telltale Games is working on a Back to the Future video game.

While those of us who still remember this original Nintendo masterpiece may be a little wary of another Back to the Future video game, this one is actually sounding like it has the potential to be pretty cool. According to Telltale (who also has a Jurassic Park game in the works), the game will be told in five "episodes" written by Bob Gale, who wrote the original three films, and will feature key time periods and characters from the movies.

What's even more exciting is that the game will feature the likenesses of Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd - and Lloyd will also be providing the voice for Doc Brown. Great Scott!

According to Wired, the game, which does not appear to have an official release date yet, will be released on "all major platforms."

Telltale Games will be kicking off their Back to the Future game hype in full force at the Penny Arcade Expo in the Seattle this weekend (which according to their website, is already sold out), where they will have a replica of the time-travelling DeLorean.

I hope you get to kick Biff's ass, ride a wooden skateboard, get to see a YOUNG Leah Thompson and Elisabeth Shue, get cool self lacing Nike high tops, and drive a DeLorean while creaming Doc!
