Wiimote RapidFire mod makes it easier to act on your pixel-based bloodlust

Call it Nintendo Darwinism: the evolution of the Wiimote over time due to survival pressures (or the simple desire to kick increasing amounts of undead ass). As a further example of the phenomenon, AcidMods' Wii RapidFire kit adds full-auto functionality to either your A or B button, courtesy of a solitary chip and some pretty straightforward soldering. To sweeten the deal, they've added an on / off switch, and the old A button lights up to let you know when you're in business. For some enticing photos and ordering info hit that read link, and be sure to check out some red hot video of the device in action after the break.

[Thanks, Mark]

I only hate it when people use crap like this in online games.

That XFPS adapter for the 360 is especially cheap.

Now they just need a paint shaker to add that functionality for waggle.

Would be useless considering the Wii has no good games.

It would be great for my Mario Kart on Wii. When you get that super mushroom, unlimited boost within a time period. =D

The guy got two wrapped up in the game and stopped explaining about the remote.
But i still dont understand what this does.
Does it make you shoot faster or what???

Other blogs have it fun (Joystiq, etc..)

[idiot @ Nov 3rd 2008 12:42PM]
