Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver Wiimote
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, Games, Today's Chili, wii
Doctor Who’s Sonic Screwdriver is at once the most versatile and most preposterous tool the universe has known. There’s nothing it can’t do, from remote-controlling the TARDIS through scanning, burning and cutting, to fixing up cellphones for “universal roaming”. Now, it has one more function: it can control the Wii.
The BBC and Wii-accessory maker Blue Ocean have teamed up to make the Sonic Screwdriver Wii Remote. It’s not just a shell into which you slot a regular Wiimote, either: the Sonic Screwdriver is a self-contained controller, and will be used to play the upcoming Doctor Who: Return To Earth. Other than the fact that the game will feature the Cybermen, nothing is known about the game. I can take a guess, though, based on the increasingly absurd plots of the TV show:
The Doctor and Amy Pond will discover something awful. It will get worse and worse and threaten to destroy the entire universe. There will be no possible way out. Then, the Doctor will mutter some nonsense, point his magic stick at a machine and all will be fixed. Disappointment will ensue.
The Wii Sonic Screwdriver will be joined by a tiny version for the Nintendo DS, which will be used as a stylus to control another game, Doctor Who: Evacuation Earth. Both will be available by the end of the year.
