The way the Wii revolutionized video gaming over the past few years is one of the main reasons why it’s still wiping the video game industry floor with its primary rivals, the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. It’s no surprise how third parties are coming up with Wii accessories left and right. This one, however, is bound to catch any hardcore gamer’s eye — the full-scale Heckler&Koch MP5 submachine gun accessory.
The new Wii accessory was unveiled by a Chinese company at a recent trade show in Hong Kong. It bundles full Wiimote, nunchuck, and Motionplus functionality in it, and sounds and rumbles when played with certain supported games. The only unrealistic bit about the accessory is the bright orange tip on the end of the barrel — just to make sure, its creators said, that police and other figures of authority don’t arrest or shoot the player by mistake.
There’s still no word on pricing and availability outside China, but you can bet your life fans of first-person shooter gamess are going to do what it takes to get their hands on one of these.
