LEGO Wii Remote Helps Build Your Own Fun
As if the Wii wasn't fun enough already, now you can add LEGO toys to the experience.
Let's be honest about something: <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.210262-Guns-and-Lego-Bricks-Build-Epic-Shootout>LEGO toys are cool, and <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/100242-Prince-of-Persia-Movie-Trailer-Gets-Lego-Ified>cool stuff gets cooler<a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.145940-Lego-Star-Wars-Chess-Set-is-Amazing>when you add them to the mix. Nintendo and LEGO have recently joined forces to create a LEGO-oriented Wii Remote, and the results is - unsurprisingly - simultaneously garish and pretty dang cool.
According to Toys 'R' Us, the custom controller comes with all the standard features of a Wii Remote, but also includes 31 Mini LEGO tiles and a Tile Seperator. On top of that, you can "use your own official LEGO pieces (not included) to build a custom display stand using the Buildable Battery Cover."
Currently, the LEGO Wii Remote seems to be a Toys 'R' Us exclusive, and it's a little more expensive than the standard model, though not outrageously so ($39.99 compared to <a href=http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Remote-Controller-nintendo/dp/B000IMWK2G/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287008167&sr=8-1-fkmr0>$35 for the regular version). Growing up, I was a LEGO kid who always loved building insane pieces of architecture. I can only imagine how much fun people will have creating custom holders (and maybe Wii display cases - hint, hint) to go along with this cute little piece of kit.
