GeekMom Needs a Light Saber!

by hmsweaver on January 4, 2008

Wii Light SwordsHubby sent me a link to a page showing these cool-looking Wii remote jackets by CAMY, and I really really want one! So far, I’ve been spending my Wii sessions gaining “Pro” status on Wii Sports bowling. (I pulled a glute, but I did it, and I love my sparkly new ball!) The kids love Super Mario Galaxy, but I haven’t had time to figure it out yet. I have to wait my turn, you see, and it looks much more complicated than my old favorite, Super Mario Bros 3.

But I can hardly wait to get one of these Wiimote “light swords,” so I can get my Jedi on! (No, I don’t have a Princess Leia costume, you weak- minded fool!) According to CAMY, they are super lightweight, and the translucent blades are lit with ultra-bright LEDs. Sounds awesome! Now I have to go find a game to go with my elegant Jedi weapon. Cue light saber sound effects.

Hi Rudy! It looks like a lot of fun. I just haven’t had a chance to try it, because the boys love it so much! Even our toddler girl says “Super Mario Galaxeeee!”

Me too. I want one. They look really cool!! My only concern is that it you might poke your eye out during wii sports boxing.

@GeekMom:

Yeah, my 2 year old daughter did the same thing! I recorded it and put it on YouTube. You can hear her yell “Xeeee!” at the end.
