Darth Vader Can Now Hold Your Wii

Just in time for geek holiday season, an innovative Wii accessory comes out that let's everyone's favorite Sith lord hold your Wii's sensor bar.

You may have seen this pop up on the internet in the last few months, but you can now firmly place the product in the "official" category. Yep, it's "official" now.

Power A, a manufacturer of videogame accessories ranging from website is $49.99 [http://www.powera.com/wii.asp?section=8&prod=1], but it's available now at Amazon for $39.99.

I personally like how retro Vader looks. The namby-pamby teen angst of the prequels is erased from my mind when I see this Vader incarnation. This is the guy who choked admirals and killed his mentor. He's still got it.

The company promised that Darth Vader holding your sensor bar will in no way restrict your gameplay, but I'd think twice before letting the fallen Jedi look me in the eye while I game. I mean, I don't want him choking me in the middle of a round of the new Super Mario Bros. "I find your lack of power-ups disturbing."

Of course, I'm totally buying this for my Wii-owning friends. Let them be choked while we play Kart online. I need every advantage I can get.

Wonder what Yahtzee's got to say about this.

Why do we care what Yahtzee has to say?

Awesome.

Makes me wish I still had a Wii now...

If I had a Wii, I'd so get this.

Wow. Has Darth Vader completely lost all of his dignity?

Spoiler

Yes. I do believe he has...

While I find the $50/$40 price tag a little much, it would set the mood just right when inserting No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle into my Wii. Seriously, I anticipate that game more than the new Zelda game.

If only Vader's lightsaber lit up when the Wii is turned on and does that oh so familiar buzzing sound that lets you know a lightsaber has been unsheathed. A chill has just ran down my spine.

Yikes, that image is now etched into my brain. It won't go away, please make it go away...

 

[therandombear]

Maybe because Lucas Arts and Nintendo is so alike they made a Darth Vader Wii sensor holder?
You know, Nintendo making Zelda after Zelda after Zelda and Mario after Mario, still love 'em though...

Anyways, I would actually had bought something like that, or maybe not bought it, but recieved it as a gift...for free!

Seriously, 40-50$ on that? No thanks.

It never occurred to me that people were making accessories to hold up the Wii sensor. I should look into them.

I think Cthulu [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP-33XI4frs] has got it worse overall.

hahaha oh man that is awesome, totally badass
wow I'm still such a Star Wars geek even after all these years have passed =/

If I had a Wii, I'd so get this.

 

[Ohlookit'sMatty]

For the love of the Gods . . . fine, I dont care as long as I dont see it in my Christmas stocking

[ProfessorLayton]

It's... actually pretty cheesy. Why would you pay 50 dollars for something that can be done by a table?

 

[TheFacelessOne]

I think Cthulu [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP-33XI4frs] has got it worse overall.

OH MY GOD!!!!!! THOSE FIENDS! I hope Cthulu ate them over night.

OT:

Okay, this is KIND OF cool. But like Popdafoo said, why pay for something that can be done by a table?

Wonder what Yahtzee's got to say about this.

....Who cares? Seriously he's just a reviewer. And you guys wonder why he never posts here, honestly.

Anyways, I'm glad to see more hardware options for the Wii. This would be great for someone who had a wiimote jacket that looked like a lightsaber and who's Wii had a Star Wars decal on it.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

NO!
It's MY wii, The darklord of the sith can't have it!

 

[Flying-Emu]

If I had a Wii, I'd so get this.

If they made a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle sensor holder, would you go out and buy a Wii?

I would.

Haha, Darth Vader staring at me with his hand ready for a force choke=awesome
