Asus Eee Stick: How Nintendo Wii Remote should look
August 7, 2008 | Filed under Gadgets, Gaming Gadgets
When I first laid eyes on the Asus Eee Stick I thought it was a couple of new controllers for the Nintendo Wii. Ok so I am a little dumb, but I bet I was not the only one who thought it.
The name that Asus has chosen “Eee Stick” is a strange one as they are a couple of sticks that are mated to a wireless receiver. So what is the Eee Stick I hear you ask, well they are basically a gamepad that has been split in half. This is something that Sony had hoped to launch at some stage.
The Eee Stick has motion sensing technology like the Wii Remote; I bet Nintendo wish that they had designed theirs to look as sleek as these. Asus has said that tailored games that require the Eee Stick will come bundled in the controllers.
As yet there is no idea when the Eee Stick will be released, but Asus reps have hinted that the UK could see them sometime in September.
Asus will make an announcement in the next few weeks.

Considering it doesn’t look like the Eee stick has pointing functionality like the Wiimote, I doubt Nintendo wishes for a second that the Wiimote looked like that.
So, it’s basically 2 nunchuks with one of them having a control pad. Horrible idea.
man, the wii-mote looks sweet
this looks a bit shit
the writer of this article is a moron.
OF Course it’ll be released, why would sony not knock off yet another idea of nintendos? sony’s been doing it for years!
and those don’t look cool at all…i dunno wtf you’ve been smoking.
