It's got pretty much everything you want to have when you're having a Wii house party, and it's designed cheaply enough ($24.99) for every Wii-owning family to use as an accessory to enhance their gaming."

  • thekronz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+69If theres one thing that pisses me off, it's greasy controllers. And having those chips 2 inches from the Wiimotes, just seems like a bad idea.
  • darny, on 10/11/2007, -8/+31Dugg down...this product needs to be able to hold beer, not soda. And where's the ash tray for the...umm..tobacco?
  • NiGHTSChao, on 10/11/2007, -6/+27its just so unbelievably ***** lame that I honestly dont understand why anyone would waste their money on that piece of plastic
  • mrwhitethc, on 10/11/2007, -5/+26I get tons of bad vibes coming from that name!
  • ColtRevolvers, on 10/11/2007, -5/+25Sweet something to keep the beer cold while I play with my Wii.
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18It's a $25 chip bowl. So have all the speculators shifted from iPod accessories to Wii accessories? Guess they had stockpiles of white plastic to do something with.
  • shibbz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18Great now I can keep my drinks cold while I play my Wii....o wait I already own a REFRIGERATOR.

    Eh well at least it has a place for my chips....o wait I already own some BOWLS.

    Well it appears that this is a worthless piece of crap.
  • Detritus, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18Dugg for the sweaty palm fan.
  • hipnerd, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13I'm sure it was Nyko's fan that fried the 360. It's not like the things have a 33% failure rate or anything...
  • stauken, on 10/11/2007, -3/+15Isn't that what the push out tray where the Chucks were is for? I mean, they can't SHOW that on the gallery.. but, Subsequently, it lacks places for your um... Tobacco wraps..to wrap, you know, your tobacco and stuff in.
  • MatttK, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Yeah not only that but how about people who are messy with their drinks.. pretty easy to spill it all over the holder, potentially damaging your wiimotes or making the whole thing very stick.

    I don't know why anyone would want to combine a food and drink holder with an electronics holder. That just seems like a really, really bad idea.
  • MikeonTV, on 10/11/2007, -3/+13Funny. I don't see a vagina in sight.
  • McTendo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9/sarcasm?
    Seriously, Wii + alcohol = good times for all.
  • merdiesel, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Yeah this thing wouldn't get disgusting dirty after day...
  • SpaceDreamer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8"The tray holds two Nunchucks, which is usually enough for most four-player games"
    huh??
    Are there games that require half a nunchuck per player ?
  • SnyderMan32x33, on 10/11/2007, -10/+17i cant wait for the wii toaster accessory...
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8I find the problem with chips is they leave grease on controllers. But they are such good food for console gaming. :(
  • stauken, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Then you can't imagine.
  • ChristianBk, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9This accessory won't be "enhancing my gaming" anytime soon...
  • HA5TY, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6That would be good..minus the Chips. Theres just no need, when u can have a bowl next to you filled with chips
  • Gryffydd, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Ah, the story of my life.
  • thefaithful, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5First five minutes it gets dip dribbled all over it and soda spilled all over it.
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7I was really hoping this would be one of those wacky Nintendo party games. I've already got bowls and a beer cooler :(
  • eatsushi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5This expensive chip bowl will go great with my Wii Fit!
  • Dhalsim007, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4This really needs those Wii Remote holders to be rechargers. The Nyko Wii-mote recharger is awesome, just work in that technology and it's a must-buy.
  • tw0bit, on 10/11/2007, -8/+12looks frikin retarded
  • McTendo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I'm pretty sure they were told this and will make it deeper in the final product.
  • csb92376, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3When I first read "wii party station", I had great visions of an incredible setup featuring 16 flat screens for individual players, chair pods and crazy light effects. No no. Instead, I got a crappy looking piece of plastic, with a chip tray big enough to last about 3 seconds. And the beer holders?!?!? Geez man... when I'm partying, my beer is with me at all times... not sitting around in a cup holder with it's 3 other friends.

    So yeah... hey guys, let's have a Wii party! Grab a chip, and put your beer right here, because this is going to be one CRAZY NIGHT!! (crickets)
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Uh.. go check the mirror hahaha, sorry, had to take the obvious shot
  • tkamen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I second that! Nothing more fun than watching the hilarity ensue when four drunk people try to play tennis.
  • Steve082291, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Nyko made something that is potentially good? AMAZING!
  • MrStylz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Greasy chips are not a good idea to have available during a Wii party!!
  • abhiroop, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4the scoreboard is nothing revolutionary, according to the article the users can just add or subtract a point using some buttons.
  • toasterwaffle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2mm wii toaster waffles
  • mywhitenoise, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2hmm, so a bowl and coasters don't work anymore?
  • MaximumPig, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2needs a vape heating element IMHO
  • JamesWilson, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Oh.. I was expecting some nice wii integration.. f that then.
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1i have not seen a game that requires 4 nunchucks. all the games that do have 4 people have one holding a remote and another with the nunchuck.
  • abhiroop, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1yea it was kind of a let down
  • darny, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Yet another comment that I wish I could've dugg up twice!
  • jlunski, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Towel, don't forget a towel to dry the sweaty hands and or wipe down the beer out of the cooler :)
  • Goombellaofgoom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1It looks like the chip holder part could be removable for cleaning (it better be).
  • maxsunset, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Classic. I love that there's a fan on it, it'll be just like going to the bowling alley!
  • superjer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Really? My Wii attracts people with vaginas sometimes. Is yours broken?
  • MikeonTV, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You should add me as a friend. I bring the funny
  • MrObjectional, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1They should just sell $25 worth of beer as Wii experience enhancers. Good times...
  • mrosenow, on 03/30/2009, -0/+1Where are the cup holder wrist straps? I might try to throw my drink at the TV after having a few cold ones.
  • Goombellaofgoom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1It said in the article that they're working on that. This is just a prototype.
  • Ebulating, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Your comment made me laugh a lot harder than it had any right to.
  • Goombellaofgoom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Unfortunately, yes.
