CR Exclusive: Pelican developing third-party Wii-mote, Nunchuk
Posted by: dvbrevolution in 1. Wii News & ArticlesI have info from a United States wholesaler that Pelican Accessories is developing a “Nerf-based” Wii-mote and Nunchuk. Yes you read it correctly, a NERF-based Wii-mote and Nunchuk. The following is the description for both of these products:
“A unique controller design that features a comfortable texture. Proprietary Nerf material forms into a resilient, long lasting controller that can take abuse!”
How much will they sell for? The price looks to be at $30 and $15 respectively.

Ooo, nerf material. That’s comfy. Got any pics of what they’ll look like? :3
Also, I wouldn’t mind a nerf skin…

Pros of this would be that it is cheaper….the problem is that the contoller will probably not work as well as the Nintendo brand controller. Guess I will still have to pay $60 for a *working* controller.

I never trust 3rd party controllers. Like who else would it be, I’ll go with a Nintendo brand controller.

I’ll stick with the controllers that come right out of the box for a while, and when it comes to me wanting to get another one, I’ll go on the net to see how the ‘nerf’ ones performed.

ha! i said this would happen

So who’s next? MadCatz….h3ll no. I don’t trust these 3rd parties anymore.

you know, they should just release a nerf shell for the 1st party equipment.
it would be all profit and no overhead.

If there’s a significant difference in price, I’m deffinantly going with the 3rd party manufacturers for my extra controllers. I can use the wii-mote that comes with the system for myself and my friends can use all the 3rd party stuff.

Sounds cool. I’ll definetly look into it if it comes in different colours and is reliable.

I Agree, well actually ill probably google search it when it comes out with the wii then if it has good reveiws ill buy it,
or ill get nintendo brand if it doesnt. and how can they already be making it if nintendo hasnt even made its system 100% complete yet or have they?

LOL! U GUYS GOT “DIGGED!”

Splint, they have already produced over 2 million units, so the system is complete
October 7th, 2006 at 2:30 pm
yeah i read on gamespot just yesterday.
and their gonna be making over 7 million units

im still (and always will be) awry of third party controllers and/or memory. they have never been reliable and usually less comfortable than the first party counterpart. id rather shell out an extra 20 for a controller that wont or has a lower probability to crap out on me while im playing my games.

This is an excellent product idea. I can see how helpful Nerf would be on a wii controller when it’s swung around. Especially for younger children who might throw it in frustration every so often.
December 4th, 2006 at 4:33 pm
yeah….yeah….ive been trying to find pics..I CANT FIND ANY! if it does come..god for the guys who threw the wiimote at their tv or wall…then I will throw it everywhere! i dont trust 3rd party tho sometimes
