Crafty Wii user creates chocolate Wiimote, nunchuck

If you're even considering making a late night grocery run to stock up on post-Valentine's Day chocolate sales, hold your horses. For those who just so happened to keep the original packaging from your Wiimote and nunchuck as any true geek does, or you need a delicious excuse to run out and grab another set, you're well on your way to edible nirvana. A crafty Flickr user utilized his culinary skills along with the plastic packaging that accompanied his Wii accessories in order to make molds for Wiimote / nunchuck chocolate, which look mighty scrumptious if we may so say ourselves. While we're not experts on creating our own choco bars, it has certainly been done a time or two before, so why not indulge yourself a bit with a little calorie-packed Wiimote after a vigorous round of Wii exercise, cool?

It looks Wii-licious, if I don't say so myself!

Engadget get some *real* news.

They don't "get" news. Sometimes not a lot happens in the industry. Especially on a Sunday, when you won't get any press releases or things like that.

If there was any important news, rest assured that it would have been posted. Until then, keep your useless comments to yourself, or go away. They don't have to write this blog. They do it because they want to. Show some gratitude and stop complaining. Is an extra news article that doesn't revolve around your life going to hurt you?

At least when you use these you wont break your brand new Plasma TV again.

Are you serious?

I don't know which one is stupider, the story or the people making the chocolate.

Is this some sort of insanity? Are we this bored by playing the actual console? The level of fanboyism , fandom...whatever you want to call it, is getting pretty sickening.

I have a Wii, I like it, it's not the end all be all. I have a PS3, I like it, it's not the end all be all. Can you folks calm down. It's just a toy.

480P...LOL

[FrankTheCrank @ Feb 18th 2007 9:08AM]

RoyRogers is right...

It's just a toy. Can we all calm down folks.

BTW, Nintendo, how about stocking the stores?? I can't find a nunchuck to save my life. I managed to get WiiPlay thanks to a helpful kid at BB. Can you imagine the sales Nintendo are losing? As Wii wackiness wears off, the big N is going to have a tough time keeping up momentum.

As I explained before... The fact that the stores do not have anything in the stores for the Wii and that the PS3 is sitting on the shelves, prove that the Wii is a better-selling console than the PS3.

Even if the Wii only had one unit come into the store, the fact that it sells as soon as it comes is the proof in the pudding.

Netcraft confirms: PS3 is dying.

I actually enjoyed this post as it is neat to see what some people will do. It looks that he used white chocolate, which is my favorite.

I still can not find a Wii anywhere, except for eBay, and I will not pay 100-150 premium for it. PS3's are plenty, and you can still get Xbox 360's, although they sell out from time to time as well.

I believe Sony really hurt itself this time around. Will have to wait and see.

As for Blu-Ray, it, and HD-DVD will have a hard time gaining on regular DVD because the small difference is not worth double the price.

The PS3 is not dying (yet), it is too early. There are good reasons that no one wants it, such as lack of good games, the fact that its friggin' expensive and no one cares about a cheap bluray player (that I know of).
Once (if) bluray wins and becomes popular, that will help a little bit, but DVD's are still the dominant media for movies. This will help a little, but it is still primarily a game console. It will need some good games first, and then a price reduction, which is probably the biggest thing holding its sales down right now.

O, ya, and that the Wii is t3h 1337 c0n50l3, & t3h P53 is t3h 5uXx0r5.
(joking on that last part)

Back to the subject, that was a pretty cool idea to use the boxes as molds for the chocolate (technically not chocolate, but whatever) controllers.

Are you guys serious with this blog/article? This is newsworthy? I understand all the Wii-mania as far as the gaming, but a candy Wii-mote? Who cares.

[Crashing @ Feb 18th 2007 3:02PM]

Chocolate? But it looks like cheese!

Confectionwii!
