Modder DHRECK has just finished his first Nintedno Wii controller modifications, an original Wiimote and Nunchuk made with three kinds of 100% natural hemp string.

In stark contrast with the original Wii-mote set, what was once sleek, cold, white and hard plastic has now become a slightly fuzzy, natural, warm and textured concoction. No more bland, branded and boring but mottled, flawfull, rough and a tad sweat absorbing.

The Hemp-Mote is absolutely playable, all buttons, accelerometers and the infrared camera accounted for. Unfortunately its exterior is also quite fragile and prone to degeneration, being in the raw state that it is.

Head over to dhreck.com for more photos and info about the Hemp-Mote.

The “Wii Samba DE Hammer” accessory for the Nintendo Wii video game console allows you to transform the Wiimote and Nunchuk controllers into a pair of maracas.

Features:

• Ideal for playing the Samba De Amigo game
• Beautiful appearance design
• Easy to operate

The Wii Samba DE Hammer is available from the Video Game Brando website for $15.

Remember those cool Super Mario Brothers mushroom candy tins? Now you can also get some Nintendo Wii inspired cans for storing memory cards etc.

Here’s a great way to impress your friends when offering gum, or a cool way to carry game cartridges or memory sticks. The buttons are slightly raised to heighten the controller replica factor. If you feel like making your own Star Wars Kid video, be aware that this replica lacks a safety strap. Net Wt 1.2 OZ. (34g) Metal Tin Size : Approx. 5.75″ X 1.5″ X 0.75″.

The Wiimote Metal Tin is available from Fractalspin for $3.50.

Here’s something that outshines both the Wii Cyber Gun and the Wii 2-in-1 Combined Light Gun – at least when it comes to looks.

This shooting game device will transform your Wiimote and Nunchuk into a silver machine gun with details in black. The Metallic Nintendo Wii Machine Gun measures 11.81 x 4.96 x 1.65 inches, weighs 10.86 oz and is available from DealExtreme for $16.54.

Videogame.brando.com.hk has now released an alternative to the 2-in-1 Combined Light Gun that we covered a couple of months ago.

The Wii Cyber Gun ($16) converts your Wiimote and Nunchuk into a light gun, making it easier and more fun to play Wii shooting games.

The Wii Cyber Gun requires no batteries.
