honestly i love the wii gadgets, but um this? I dunno I mean I think at this point Nintendo is jsut thinking of ways to embrass ppl.... cant imagine anyone over 8 riding that and not looking totally ridiculous. also agree with shimaru Barbies riding adventure will have to be freaking sweet if they get their own wii accessory

@beloved blood:

You're welcome. ^_^

Well, yeah. But you don't have to buy that controller and if you don't play riding games then that's that. But if you are interested in that sort of thing then it'd certainly make for a more interesting game experience.

Also, I'm pretty sure there already is a tennis racket accessory, though I don't know that it's an official one. Oh well. At least this one looks like it'd be easy to store. Some of the controller accessories aren't quite so compact.

@mariozeldakirby:

I agree... >.<

@beloved blood:

Because in real life you would control where a horse is going with your legs as well as with your hands. Especially if you're a knight, then you have to learn how to control a horse with just your legs so you can hold a sword and shield. It seems to be Wii's attempt at making for more realistic gameplay. And I think it's a cool idea.

Gaming companies have dignity to sell? That being said, at least Nintendo is coming out with some stuff to compete with the cool factor exhibited by most PlayStation games.

Maybe it's wrong, but I get the horrible feeling that this will be used more as a prop in some nasty sex fantasies more than for actual gaming. Once more, I'm glad I'm not a gamer.

Whatever happened to just, oh I dunno... riding an actual horse!?

@Shinmaru:

Yes it is!

That is interesting. Now we can go horseback riding!
