This video goes out to all the.. robot fans! It shows how YouTube user ‘roschler’ managed to use his Wireless Nintendo Wii Control device to control his Robosapien Version 2, and get it to ‘perform cool skits’. It’s a 12 minute ordeal Homebrew Wiimote fans, so bring deckchairs and popcorn.
A *hic* reporter at Verdicts.co.uk claims that ‘An unconfirmed source has revealed that Nintendo are currently working on a wireless version of their Nunchuck attachment for the Wii remote.‘
Nintendo may have a few issues with the Wii, but for the most part, they analyzed the Wii and removed safety hazards. A second wireless controller? The mere thought of it screams, “LAWSUIT! LAWSUIT!” Without a doubt, the Nunchuk would be much easier to throw than the Wiimote.
The only feasible way Nintendo could release a wireless Nunchuk would be to tether the Nunchuk to the players hands. Impracticality is a console-killer.

‘Is there a way to keep the blue light on?‘
While there is no official way to keep the blue-light on, there is a simple trick that you can use to keep your Wii shinin’ bright. You need to be connected to the internet for this trick to work.
If you do not have a confirmed email account to correspond with your Wii..
The trick now is to NOT open the email on your Wii Message Board. Now, provided you don’t open the mail, the Blue Wii LED will stay lit!
When all else goes wrong, use handcuffs. Karunga, Site Admin from InfinitPower.com found the perfect solution to broken Wiimote straps, and it came from an adult shop. To be honest, I hadn’t pictures handcuffs to be comfortable wrist wear, but as long as it keeps the Wiimote from flying solo, it must be worth the pain.
Thanks to Kebin for the IM headsup!
Nothing quite like a small scuffle to kick off a console launch.
Check out the SICKmods website where you can find instructions on how to modify your Wii to include PulseVU. PulseVU makes the Wii Blue Light pulse in time to audio from the Wii.
