Wii Sqweeze

How many more peripherals does the gaming demographic have to suffer before nonsensical models that actually made it to production are ditched? I think the Wii Sqweeze is definitely a nutty idea, as it brings exercise gaming to a different level by featuring rubber handles that can be pressed (maximum range of motion – 3″). It will be launched as a fully operational Wii controller sometime next year, and you will first need to self-calibrate it before using by squeezing 50% of your maximum strength. Other than sports titles, I don’t think you’d find much use for this peripheral in other genres. Hey, at least it gives Wii developers another 3 years headstart to come up with an Olympics 2012 title that can be used with the Wii Sqweeze.
