Memorex is known for making DVD players, TV’s, iPod accessories and other electronic gadgets but I bet you didn’t know that they also make video game accessories.

They actually have a wide range of controllers, peripherals, steering wheels, cases and other accessories for gamers. The Game Controller Plus is their newest addition to the Wii console and their first step in developing more accessories that use the new motion technology.

Nintendo has finally released a Wii Remote Controller with the MotionPlus attachment built in. The MotionPlus improves the controller’s accuracy so that the console will more accurately track real-world actions in the game.

Nintendo marketed this game the wrong way. Instead of being sold as “FlingSmash with Wii Remote Plus inside!” it should instead have sold it as “Wii remote Plus with free game (FlingSmash)!”

This game is kinda cute and will kill a few minutes while you test your Wii Remote Plus (or your Wii MotionPlus attachments on your older WiiMote) but the controller is the real reason to buy this game. Click through to find out why…

Today’s quickie deal is a white Wii Nunchuck Controller (the attachment, not a WiiMote) for only $3.29 through Meritline.

This is a limited offer that will run out as soon as 800 are ordered. You can order only one per account and you’ll need the following code:

Kirby’s Epic Yarn is entirely adorable. Not only is it fun to play but it’s almost equally fun to watch, exuding classic platforming fun in every single stitch.

It’s all so very cute yet not in a disgustingly-covered-in-icing or swarming-with-pretty-pink-flowers sort of way. Instead it’s a clever design theme that is executed very well and works well throughout the game. Instead it’s like a gaming blanket – a digital Snuggie, if you will – that will keep you warn this Holiday season.

This deal is still good and only good for today (September 29, 2010), so act quickly.

Meritline is offering the black Komodo KMD-W-6586 Nunchuk and Remote Controller Pack For Wii for $19.99 when you use the special discount code. Click through to get the code…

If ever there were a game built with motion control in mind, it is No More Heroes. The Nintendo Wii cult classic allows you to use the Wii-mote as everything from an energy sword to a cellphone. At GamesCom 2010, Konami announced PlayStation Move support for No More Heroes Paradise, the HD port that will bring the game to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The battle royale for motion control domination is about to get a bit more serious between Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft.

E3 2010 may have been the first time that all three companies were in the same building with fully operational, possibly final versions, of motion control devices we could actually touch – or, as the case with Kinect, not touch – and give a try. By the end of the year (2010) we expect all three to be in gamers’ homes.

While Sony and Microsoft are playing a bit of catch-up with Nintendo, that doesn’t necessarily mean the WiiMote will rule the game room when it comes to the new wave in game control tech.

Here’s a competitive overview of each of the three motion control schemes based on time spent playing with each (for the Move and Kinect, on the E3 2010 floor) noting the benefits and faults of each.

As some have said, it looks like a fat magic wand. As many said during E3, it’s the Wii wireless remote motion controller (aka the WiiMote) all over again.

The component you cannot see was the Playstation Eye (formerly the EyeToy) digital camera sitting on top of many of the monitors at E3 2010. The Playstation Move controller and the Playstation Eye work in cooperation to track controller-to-on-screen movements, much like Nintendo’s WiiMote and Sensor Bar.

With the appearance of different control schemes for video games, developers have found new ways to get people involved and engaged with the action on the screen. Music games have been greatly benefited by this and motion sensing controllers like the Wiimote have prompted many people to interact with games in a more physical way.

Maybe one of the most popular games with this approach is Nintendo’s Wii Fit, which has created a way for people to get involved with physical activities like jogging or yoga while getting a positive feedback through the animations and displays on the screen.
