Pimp your Wiimote with Joytech

Joytech announces that, to celebrate the launch of the Wii, it will also launch a lineup of Wii accessories – or to be more accurate, the Wiimote set. Some are actually rather functional, like the Silicon Gloves, which keep your grip on the Wiimote tight and color-coordinated (any in Sonic-blue, Joytech?), and the wheel-based attachments. Then there’s the “Wii Sports Pack,” some of which which make the Wiimote look like the offerings from that decried Fusion line of cross-platform motion-sensing controllers.

Ah, well. Here’s the lineup from Joytech’s PR, and some screens of pimped Wiimotes. And did you know that Joytech’s a wholly-owned subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive? Ka-ching ka-ching, bling-bling.

JOYTECH Wii Sports Pack: Golf grip, Racing Grip, Racket Grip (and why do the golf and tennis grips look familiar?)

Why do the racket and the golf club remind us of something similar...

More Wiimote accessories after the jump!

JOYTECH Wii Power Station: will charge, store, and protect up to two Wiimotes and a cradle for the Nunchuck

Cool! An iPod dock! J/K!!!

JOYTECH Wii Racing Grip: look familiar?

Ooh! It's from that game! With the big trucks! The big flippy-flip trucks!

JOYTECH Wii Controller Grip: perfect for the running parts of Sonic and the Secret Rings, don’t you think?

Blue Streak speeds by, and it's easier to hold the Wiimote like that with this.

JOYTECH Wii Silicon Gloves and the Silicon Glove Pack: because clammy hands must soil not the pristine beauty of a Wiimote
