Wiiwa puppet controller and game

Wiiwa puppet controller and game

Meet Wiiwaa, the latest and probably greatest in a long line of 3rd party peripherals for the Nintendo Wii. Aimed at kids, this cuddly puppet is the creation of Zoink Entertainment. The Wiimote slots into Wiiwa's mouth, allowing you to use him for simple gestures.

Zoink Entertainment's Klaus Lyngeled spoke:

Use your Wiiwaa puppet to control this little fellow just like a real puppeteer would do. Walk, jump, dance, do crazy somersaults - whatever you do with your Wiiwaa puppet directly affects the character in the game. This innovative control system makes it super intuitive to tell the creature where to go and what to do. I don't think there has ever been a simpler and more natural way to play a video game. Just pop in your controller and Wiiwaa comes to life on the screen! The plush toy expands the game from the screen and into the living room. Your hero and friend is right there with you and you can continue playing with him even after the game console has been switched off.

This is a game that transcends gender and age. Kids will appreciate the simplicity of it and how natural it feels to play. With this game, parents provide non-violent, intelligent entertainment for their children that even motivates them to exercise their physique and train their coordination skills. But it is not strictly a game for kids - much like a Pixar movie, there is something in there for everyone. Adult gamers too will enjoy the action, the humor and the freshness of the experience. We're working very hard to ensure the game is enjoyable for the whole family and all age ranges.

Well there's no question that it's a fresh idea. Can you see yourself having a good time with Wiiwa?

This is in fact a kids game. Nintendo kids games, get it, but this is well done and great for younger children. It's a great idea, graphics look cool as well, but I don't get how you earn a badge that's already there hmmmm.

Wow, I give them props for creativity. I haven't seen anything like this on the Wii yet. Hopefully they can pull those off.

When I read puppet controls I imagined a wiimote with strings down to a puppet and when you moved the wiimote and controlled your pupet it was in game. Now that would be super cool and a wiimote could do that.
