Wii Sports bowling is still very popular, but is a bowling ball peripheral really neccessary? You stick the Wiimote inside, attach the wrist-strap so you don't destroy your living room, and pretend to bowl. Indeed.

Turn every Wii bowling experience into a perfect 300 with the Bowling Ball for Wii. This ultra-realistic accessory, allows you to mimic all the critical motions a ‘striking’ performance requires. This Wii peripheral is the first of its kind to be fashioned after an authentic bowling ball, turning your wii-mote into the optimum performance-enhancing accessory!

To operate simply press the release button to open the ball in half, place the Wii remote inside and close the ball. Once the remote is set inside, plug the three holes with your fingers, as you would a bowling ball. Lastly, make sure to wear the wrist strap securely around your wrist, this will prevent the ball from accidently flying out of your hand, and you are ready to bowl virtual strikes like a Pro! Even though holding and bowling the ball is so like-like to the actual sport, never, ever release the ball!!

    As if the wiimote wasn't deadly enough on its own (coupled with the power of stupidity, of course), but now they're attaching it to a wrecking ball? I smell lawsuits...

    That's extremely pointless. It's probably 10x easier just to use the WiiMote, which works perfectly find. Plus, how many bowling games are out there where you would need such a thing?

    This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. As for the Wii Sports line, I have to say that their real-life equivalents are much more fun -- except golf. Golf is boring enough IRL, and playing it on the Wii is just brain-numbing.

    As I recall Yahtzee saying:

    If the Wii is so revolutionary and can be used for almost anything, why do they need to keep adding accessory peripherals for it?
