Ball-Shaped Game Controllers

The Wii Bowling Ball Accessory Simulates Reality Sports

The Wii Bowling Ball Accessory is a realistic controller for hardcore gamers. This Wii accessory mimics all the motions that bowling performances require and even looks like a real bowling ball.

Are Nintendo Wii accessories getting a little out of control? I wonder how many more gadgets the creators have hidden up their sleeves...
