Snakebyte Riimote Looks Like Wiimote
Bucky | January 30, 2008
Reinventing the wheel is hard, it is also completely unecessary. This is why third party Wiimote controllers have been pretty scarce as the Wiimotes shape is neccesary for the style of play and it just absolutley must fit into all those third party accesories. Whereas 360 or PS3 controllers can be redesigned and reimagined to look different the Wiimote is pretty much stuck in its shape. This hasn’t stopped Sunflex, though, from putting out their own Wiimotes, cleverly (and I use this word in it’s most sarcastic sense) titled Riimote.
There ain’t much different about the controller except for a fancy grip on the bottom to help you not throw your Riimote at the television screen, some redesigned buttons and two colors that won’t compliment that stylish white Wii at all. The controllers should be on sale in Europe come Feb. 9 at a cost of 39.99 Euoros and the compnay plans on releasing a wireless nunchuck to compliment it’s Riimote. If you aren’t in Euorope you’ll just have to settle for regular old Wiimotes without crazy names. Darn.
