Stupid Wii Accessories: 8-in-1 Weapon Pack, Cooking Mama Pack
Jan. 2The parade of stupid things you can attach to your Wii just ain't stoppin'. Today we check in with Dragon Electronics and their awesomely dollar-store 8-in-1 Weapons Pack, and CTA's slightly baffling Cooking Mama Kit.
The 8-in-1 Weapons Pack contains a gun remote attachment, two daggers, two swords, an axe, and a shield. Of course the 8-in-1 Weapons Pack contains only seven weapons! The gun and daggers appear to be made of nice hard eye-gouging plastic, while the other attachments seem to be made of some kind of potentially soft, unpleasantly brown foam. Which ones will break first? Buy and find out!
The website promises the 8-in-1 Weapon Pack is "Ease set-up and use", "Childish soft materials manufacture ,no hazaro", and "Amazing,exciting,fantastic and training body reaction", so you know you can't go wrong with it. This could only be better if it somehow included ninja throwing stars, but as it is, the 8-in-1 Weapon Pack retails for a highly affordable $27.95. What's, say, dinner out for the family compared to the glories of foam and plastic weapons?
The Cooking Mama Kit is less aggressive, although I'm sure you could get some good frying-pan-on-foam-sword action going if you bought both. The Cooking Mama Kit includes a frying pan attachment and an attachment that's sort of a "swiss kitchen knife" with fold-out spatula, knife, and "tongs" that look like a meat fork to me, but whatever. The manufacturer describes this product as...
This dual set of controller holders is a virtual chef's dream. One holder is shaped in the mold of a frying pan while the other is a combination of a spatula, a knife and tongs, so you can fry, flip, cut and stab any one of your favorite dishes. For the handle with the multiple utensils, just keep the one that you wish to use erect while sliding the others to the side of the handle and you are ready to go. In the handle a cut-out mold that cradles your Wii remote so that you are ready to point and cook.
So you know this set is going to give you hours of extremely interactive fun, and not the same stupid game with more plastic crap dangling off your Wii remote! For only $19.99, what better things could you spend your money on? (Don't answer that.)

What, no stick blender? No immersion circulator? No pressure cooker? No ice cream machine?
I think I'm going to stick with the usual way of playing Cooking Mama, which is taping the Wii remote to a 7" santoku and going from there.
