New Nintendo peripheral found: FrisWii
Yes, the Wii Balance Board has sold millions of copies. The Wii MotionPlus is poised to bring precision gaming to everything from golf to shuffleboard. Now the Vitality Sensor can monitor your body and tell you when your heart will explode. Well, ignore all of those and focus on the new FrisWii. It's packed with innovation and technology, and you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish with it. Plus, we're giving one away at the Joystiq E3 Meetup tonight. Be there.
Thank you, Harmonix, Nyko, Naughty Dog, and you!
When Harmonix throws a party they get The Who to headline that jam; when Joystiq throws a party, we get Harmonix to headline. The generous devs from Boston brought Rock Band 2 to our E3 afterparty in Santa Monica for the 300 plus attendees to prove their mettle. Take Joystiq superband The Blueberry Muffintops who closed off the night with this rendition of Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up" – take note: by this point in the night, we'd already blown out the setup's speaker. Rawk!So really, our heartfelt thanks to Harmonix for making everyone's night. But we'd also like to thank Nyko for the peripherals, Naughty Dog for the great signed stuff, and of course Mahalo.com for the super generous use of their space. Most of all, thanks to everyone that showed up. We put Joystiq together every day for you guys and it was flattering, and humbling, to see everyone turn out today. This one's for you (hit play now!). Love, JoystiqPS: If you've got any pics, please add them to our Flickr group page.

Overheard@E3: Get nuked at the Joystiq meetup
Our very own Ross Miller, in his bubbling excitement over tonight's Joystiq reader meetup, was overheard commenting on the Nuka Cola from Bethesda & Fallout 3 that we'll be bringing. "Get nuked at the Joystiq meetup!" We're planning on it, Rosco.
