CTA Digital's Inflatable Kart for the Wii: at last you can be the coolest kid on your block

Put down that "rare" Transformers figurine, hide that box of "real" Japanese Anime, and don't even think of showing us your Ninja Turtles costume: we've found the ticket to cool you've been looking for. CTA Digital, who has always excelled in building stunningly superfluous gaming accessories has outdone itself with the new Inflatable Racing Kart. The best news? It'll support up to 300 of your hip-cool-guy pounds. Check out a video after the break in case you're not convinced.

[KrazyCalvin Posted May 30th 2010 1:27AM]

@Eli Haj You must think there are some big teens out there... they said it would support up to 300 pounds.

[benwb Posted May 30th 2010 8:35PM]

@fivs

[MoonWalkerCTE Posted May 29th 2010 6:45PM]

Am I the only one thinking this a joke??

[indosphere Posted May 29th 2010 6:56PM]

@MoonWalkerCTE This is an ad for the onion right?

[patrickgs Posted May 29th 2010 6:49PM]

Since when are they using Porn Music in ads?

[kabi Posted May 29th 2010 6:53PM]

@patrickgs You must watch too much porn to know.

[NikAmi Posted May 29th 2010 8:41PM]

@patrickgs Ummm...I write music a lot of music for pornographic videos and I am insulted that you think that this crap music is worthy of being placed into any movie much less one that has the high production value of your average porn. When I write scores for sex scenes I use orchestral instruments, not these synthesized instruments and MIDI sounds. I want the viewer to be immersed in the rhythmic pumping so I use kettle drums timed to the thrusts. I want the viewer to feel the passion of the actors so I write runs for the strings which send shivers down the spine. And I want to create an immersive experience so at the moment of climax, so hear the horns come in at mezzoforte and you are blown away by the power of it all. That is how porn should sound.

[Bully Posted May 29th 2010 9:00PM]

@NikAmi that's how straight porn sounds. wonder what patrickgs is watching @-@

[Bully Posted May 29th 2010 6:54PM]

[fivs Posted May 29th 2010 6:56PM]

This looks wayyyy to childish...

[guitarguru102 Posted May 29th 2010 7:00PM]

"you can drift around those corners, speed through the straight-aways, and maneuver around obstacles"
...all while sitting perfectly still.

[Wiizer Posted May 29th 2010 7:06PM]

Man, you guys make lame jokes...

This is why Joystiq commenters are better than Engadget commenters... And I'm about 50/50 of each,so I half-hate myself now...

[pureleb Posted May 29th 2010 7:07PM]

I'll buy that for $10

[CZroe Posted May 29th 2010 7:09PM]

It sure looks like it could use some back support.

[Crack it Posted May 29th 2010 7:09PM]

[josac Posted May 29th 2010 7:40PM]

A lot of the Wii accessories are pretty lame and a waste of money. But this thing is sick. I'd get it if I had a Wii,

[DeanSp Posted May 29th 2010 7:44PM]

CTA = Creations To Annoy

[tytania8 Posted May 29th 2010 7:52PM]

Damn there is no limit to the accessories used to interact with the Wii!! Could i get a Model M16 with red dot sight @_@ pls.

[guroth Posted May 29th 2010 8:18PM]

Your lack of back support disturbs me.

[01 Posted May 29th 2010 8:28PM]

Drunk Mario Kart has never been more fun.

[Niazac Posted May 29th 2010 8:48PM]

This thing is a beast.

[admlshake Posted May 29th 2010 9:05PM]

[mennenkid Posted May 29th 2010 10:03PM]

the little girl wasn't steering what was shown if you look at how she turns the wheel

[keanu096 Posted May 29th 2010 11:23PM]

[Brainy142 Posted May 30th 2010 1:39AM]

"You will feel like your driving a sports car"
Last time I checked crappy inflatable kart does not equal sports car..

[Gaurav42 Posted May 30th 2010 1:57AM]

They should make one with a rigid aluminium construction, and a mount for a logitech G25 so i can play GT5 in comfort and awesomness..... when it finally comes out

[Rampy Posted May 30th 2010 8:20AM]

Could be the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

[Nn4458 Posted May 30th 2010 11:07AM]

They should make this for GTA. They could add a gun mount and fake blood could shoot at you when you run someone over. LOL

[RobF Posted May 30th 2010 6:05PM]

Who cares about the product, who's the chick?
