Hasta La Gadget!

There is no doubt that the Wii causes enough damage as it is from arms being whipped through the air as excitement builds in a game. Heck, there is even a site, Wii Have A Problem, that is dedicated to sharing everyone’s stories on how they got injured or what objects they have broken. All of this commotion comes from one little video game system that has motion sensitive controllers.

So now Engadget decided to go all out and assemble the Wii console into a laptop…thereby forming the ultimate weapon. I’ll get into that in a second, but first checkout this video of the Wii laptop:

It has everything from a 7-inch screen to a built-in power supply, which gives you nearly everything you need to play your favorite Wii games no matter where you are. So what’s the problem? Swinging arms! I could only imagine the number of people that would get hurt when they are on a airplane or a bus traveling somewhere with a portable system like this. With the Wii controllers it would feel natural to swing your arms and I’m sure it would be tough to hold yourself back. Thank goodness this isn’t a mass-produced device.

I do have to admit that this “laptop” was very well designed and they plan on revealing all of the juicy design details next Tuesday. With the Wii’s small size the whole package measures just 8.5 x 7.7 x 2-inches, but what I really want to know is how much it weighs. Maybe they’ll divulge that detail later on.

If you’ve already got a headset, mouse or keyboard, here’s hoping they suit you just fine, because if they don’t you’ll be tempted to blow oodles of money on Logitech’s latest gaming peripheral lineup. Today, the company revealed (and is launching) the G510 keyboard, the G930 headset and G700 mouse, and while the first is merely an amalgamation of solid peripherals that have come before (customizable RGB backlighting, USB audio, 18 programmable buttons, the whole nine yards) the latter two are premium wireless products. That’s right, Logitech finally has an answer to Razer’s Mamba and Microsoft’s Sidewinder X8 with its own 2.4GHz, 1000 report-per-second hybrid wireless mouse (with thirteen programmable buttons on tap) and they’ve ripped the wires right out of the G35 surround sound headset to stuff a play n’ charge battery and two 2.4GHz antennas on board. They’ll run you a pretty penny, of course, at $160 for the headset, $120 for the keyboard and $100 for the mouse, but you’ll find out if two of the three are worth your while later today when we publish our full review. We’ll let you guess which two. Press release after the break.

Update: Logitech’s got a breakneck video rundown of all the hot new G-series features; spot it right after the break. All three products are also on Logitech’s website now, though the headset and keyboard are labeled “out of stock.”

You’ve been gaming since your youth, and remember the days of stand-up arcades where you couldn’t “beat” games; they just got harder and harder until they were literally impossible to play. Perhaps you were always the top-score holder at your favorite arcade and you remember gaming before the era of consoles. Designer Igor Chak remembers those days and has designed the Space Invaders couch to remind all of us.

The couch is a concept design right now and not available to purchase, but it makes a statement. Regardless of whether you remember the days of stand-up Space Invaders cabinets or you’re just a fan of retro video games, you can probably appreciate how your living room would look with one of these in it.

Say what you will about Nokia‘s strategy (or lack thereof), but there’s no denying that the N900 is one capable gaming machine. Thus, it makes perfect sense for the blokes at Game Gripper to mold a controller specifically for that very handset, no? We’ve already spent a fair amount far too much time with our made-for-Droid edition, and if you’re looking to boost your enjoyment level when playing NES ROMs, you can toss your pre-order in this very second. The company’s offering the complete Game Gripper N900 for €14.95 ($20), or the button set alone for €3.95 ($5), with initial shipments expected in around a fortnight. Head on past the break for a taste of that aforementioned Mario action.
