Hasta La Gadget!

A lot of memorable events occurred at E3 this week. But strangely, this is one image that is going to stick with me.

Actually, the bizarre Wii accessories dreamed up by third parties has been something of a quirky highlight of the show for the past several years. And this year, the inflatable racecar from CTA Digital is either the best or the worst–I can’t say for sure.

It’s best in the sense that, well, look at it, it’s a big blowup racecar that you can sit in while you’re playing the Wii–adults and children alike, though like the perennial favorite racecar bed, it’s likely to be a bit awkward for anyone over the age of 10.

It’s potentially the worst in the sense that the car itself doesn’t seem to do anything. It’s not a rumble seat. The Wiimote does slip into the steering wheel, which turns, so there’s that.
