PlayStation and Xbox fans should know by now that Nintendo Wii is beating them in record numbers in terms of sales. Years ago, when PlayStation and Xbox were kings of gaming industry, we have to content ourselves by using gamepads to play. I mean, if we want to actually play a game of tennis or bowling, we would actually want to go outside right? With buttons, I can be as ruthless as I want without even batting my actual eyelids.
But now, things have changed. People wanted to actually place themselves in video games. Instead of buttons, why don’t our arms move and our characters mimic our movements? The idea seemed crazy for serious gamers but for a casual gamer who just want to have some fun, its magic. Even though there are lots of serious gamers there who might stick to games that require skills, millions are looking at games that can actually be fun instead of spending hours figuring out how to increase their characters’ HP level. So Wii took over the gaming world by storm with their cute characters and family fun gaming. PS and Xbox will just have to watch their sales go down.
Gamers who would like to have a piece of action could buy Wii for themselves. However, Wii will cost you. Besides, we have to admit, some of the games are not as attractive as in PS or Xbox in terms of extreme actions. As much as we shun it in real life we’d like to kick the butt of our enemies even if it’s only in online gaming. Wii doesn’t have enough games that will make us think and stick it out with our characters for many hours a day. If you’re ready to trade your PS or Xbox 360 to slug it out and forget the great games your soon-to-be-former-console has to offer, you go ahead. ‘Cause I know I won’t.
Why? Cause there’s a gadget called BodyPad. This product is not from the official PlayStation and Xbox creators but its one great addition to your present console.
BodyPad was created in Europe by some independent developers. After years of research and development, they were able to figure out how to coordinate your body movements to the actual movements of your characters.
All you need to do is to attach straps in your body: one in each hands, another in your arm, another in your stomach and both legs. These things are on remote but it will never have any lag as the receiver packs in a massive 2.4Ghz of transmission. If you’re just standing near to it, there won’t be any problem.
The games are only limited with supported game titles, but the title list is really impressive. You can play Dragon Ball Z, a couple of Tekkens, Battle Arena, Street and Virtua Fighters, Knockout Kings and a whole lot of dance revolution. Now let’s see how Son Gouku actually feels like to do a kame hame wave…
The price? For 79Euros (around $130) you can actually have two of these control systems. Compared to a whole new set of Wii, this price is already a catch. Now your game nights will never be the same again.
