Oh, CTA: It was one thing when you wanted us to stuff our Wiimote into a phony bowling ball or rowing machine, but do you really expect us to strap on these wings and flap our arms like a bird? We don't even know anyone who will 'fess up to playing Bird's-Eye Bull's-Eye, let alone buy a useless accessory for it. Besides, as any good rave / goth / cosplay kid knows, people (and their pets) have been sporting much nicer wings for years now. Get a look at some of our faves below.
But it's more IMMERSIVE.
@Spaceshipped
LSD is included in the box.
@Spaceshipped
They should have just finished the kit off with a target to lay on the ground and a ladder to get up onto the roof with.
C'mon CTA.....help out the Gene Pool will you!
@Spaceshipped
I'm expecting lawsuits emerging from this. How long until a kid decides to jump on a roof and try to fly with these things?
LOL @ those alternative pictures
@xavierpr14
I get reminded of the Keanu Reeves flick Walk in the Clouds - yech!
Also remember seeing some Stanford students make the exact same thing for their class project in Spring this year.
@r34p3r Reminds me of the movie Tooth Fairy, starring Dwayne Johnson.
Is that Howard the Duck?
I like Bird's-Eye Bull's-Eye, but anyone who buys these wings deserves to lose their money
@DrTrent
Or their lives ; -)
Look Ma! I'm Icarus!
@NHAnimator Dang, was going to say the same thing! Drop in s(u)on... ;)
You guys won't be laughing when I have the arm strength of a falcon.
@MattsZ
FALCON PUNCH!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what to say other than "lawl"
They're bullshitting you. These aren't real.
Next Step... Shii!
WTF?
lol, this just made my day. Thank you.
Those look fun to wear and play the wii on, I would get them and play with them when I'm extremely bored. :]
why dont they just go ahead and realease the full body suit for the users to wear that I heard about last year? After all, the Wii is starting to slip in popularity ever so slightly. THey really need that full VR setup.
I'm watching a Wii commercial while reading this.
I want them. Flapping my arms like an idiot in the basement just isn't doing it for me anymore. I don't just want to look like an idiot playing a game. I want to look like a brain damaged moron who actually thinks he can fly. How much? I think blowing through a kazoo to make birds noises at the same time would really add to the total package. And my kids think I embarrass them now. They have no idea.
Where is that rifle controller they promised for PS3?
Hhahahahhahahaha OMG just stop!!!!! No really STOP!
What happens if I lose one =[
@airbag888 Fly around in a circle perhaps?
@LiveFromThe215
Maybe I should buy 2 sets then just to be sure!
I don't think it's a bad idea.
It's less of a gimmick than those sports attachment in a sense that the game looks like it's clearly made for really little kids. I am talking 3~5yr olds.
And they all love wearing some kind of wings and flapping around.
This is hilarious. I think are running out of ideas playstation move will put them out of bussiness as soon as it releases
Long live the Power Glove, by far the coolest useless accessory of them all.
OMG this is hysterical... Can't... stop.. laughing.. XD
Almost as bad as the flying ads on Engadget recently.
I WANT ONE!!! D':
The Wii Fly.
Sounds catchy.
that looks ugly, no thats not the word, vile, no, disgraceful, or how about Disgracefully Vile and ugly
"cosplay kids"? I've always been under the impression that there was a sexual component to "cosplay".
@toddjy
I believe you are conflating "cosplay" and "furry".
Either that or there are worrying connotations to images like http://dubai.slackersdelight.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/mario-kids-cosplay.jpg
It's the furry forearms that make Gothguy's wings so endearing.
They should give your friend a gun and turn it into duck hunt
That is so ridiculous only Nintendo could have thought it up.
Sorta ga-hey.
somebody - somewhere - will buy this.
@Wiggy Fuzz
Yep, him... http://www.pixyland.org/peterpan/photo_closeups_pp2.htm

Why is that child covered in insects?
Silly CTA. Everybody knows that Red Bull gives you wings.
