It seems as though there's something inherently strange about Nintendo's Wii. Maybe it's the idea of incorporating physical activity into the aggressively stationary world of console gaming--perhaps it's the idea of waving a plastic whit wand around, or the very real threat of losing an eye. Whatever the case may be, Nintendo's ridiculously successful gaming platform has spawned some of the most bizarre third-party concepts around, from this Saturday's happily successful Wiimbledon tournament at Barcade in Brooklyn (complete with dude in bear suit) to these two items, which are making the Web rounds, this morning:


Those are a homemade Wii-Zapper and a commercially available Wii pool cue attachment, respectively.
We figured it was time to take a look at some of the stranger Wii-accessories we've blogged about since the console tore into our lives, like tipsy cart driving Mario on a flower power bender. Check 'em, after the jump.
Solar Wii
Why was the Wii chosen as the ambassador for Tom's Hardware's environmentally-friendly DIY project? I'm not really sure, but heck, solar power is yet another reason to be in love with the the damn thing.
Wii Batarang
Need another reason to hurl your control at your new 50-inch plasma? Here you go.
Wii Helm
Okay, this one isn't exactly "real," in the sense of being, you know, not fake, but what reasonable gadget enthusiast can blame Andre for having taken the bait on this one? After all, given the other items listed here, the Wii Helm fits right in--once you get past the posting date of April 3rd...
Wii Sports Cuff and LCD Safety Shield
A handful of crack TV screens? Ka-Ching.
Wii Weights
Looking for a way to reverse years of muscular atrophy from countless LAN parties and RPG-athons? Strap on a pair of Wii Weights, and get to work--and yes, only an officially branded pair of will do.
