Unleash the hero in you with Camy Pro Gear’s Hero Pack for the Wii

 

With the Wiimote and Nunchuck proving to be very ergonomic yet also very sterile-looking controllers, it’s no wonder that the Wii owner is inundated with peripherals to “spice” the look and feel of these motion-sensing wonders a bit. Ranging from the good, to the so-so, and to the definitely weird, there’s certainly a lot of options to choose from. But now, here’s one particular peripheral that may just prove to be a no-brainer.

Enter Camy Pro Gear’s Hero Pack for the Nintendo Wii. Now, before you say that it’s just another “shell” for the Wiimote and Nunchuck – we all know that already – it’s probably one of the best-looking and most well thought-out ones to be introduced to the Wii peripheral market. Modeled after Link’s legendary gear (as closely as they can be, without copyright infringement), the Hero Pack actually gives you a sense of wielding an actual sword and a shield during play, albeit miniaturized a bit.

Made out of sturdy plastic, both the sword and shield shellpieces snap onto your Wii controls easily and securely, and both are lightweight so as not to give you tired arms after a vigorous round of, say, Twilight Princess. What’s great about the Hero Pack is its design, specifically on the Master Sword. The miniature foam blade is set so that it doesn’t block the IR port of the Wiimote, ensuring unimpeded motion-sensing happy. And of course, being modeled after Link’s tools of the trade certainly helps.

Gamers looking to get the Hero Pack may have to wait a bit, though, as it’s not yet shipping – but what we do know is that they’re working hard on bringing the whole shebang to the US, at the mere pittance of twenty greenbacks (US$ 20) each.
