42 Gaming Peripherals You’ll Never Play With

Awesome submissions! This mus thave been a very tough one to judge with so many great entries. Definitely love the Wii MotionPlusPlus, it's doubleplus good!

haha, i would vote for the heart rate one, talk about useless...

Optimus-Prime

@Hello Mister Walrus: thank you :D that's my entry! so happy it got in ^_^

@OCEntertainment: Agreed!

Third place makes me want to wash my hands and then eat some chocolate. : \

The Cowbell peripheral has got to be the single most genius device created.

It's entirely possible that I'm exagerrating considerably.

I vote to add a fourth spot to the list to include number 15. On account of I dang want one for reals.

Oh, well, guess it's a DIY job for me. :-P

White text + light grey gradient = bad

This is definitely one of the better PS contests. Keyboard Hero is a classic.

Hello Mister Walrus

Personally, the horse ass peripheral beats first place by a mile. The final 3 here are like the final 3 in the old America's Funniest Home Videos: there was always funnier ones during the show, but they always left you saying "really?" when they showed you the top 3.

@Asherek: you're not exaggerating... i gotta have more cowbell

@Pope John Peeps II:
malvones: I am curious about this herion addiction
ninjagin: It looks like it makes one unable to spell, repeatedly. Terrible disease

Well damn I missed this one but here is what I was going to enter.

why're there so many irons?

#1 and #2 are really weak. The other ones like 9 and the Cowbell Hero should have ranked top 3. Nonetheless, I enjoyed most of them. Keep up the great work guys!

That NES attachment for the 360 would actually be great for a few of the 2D games available on Live Arcade. I bought a SF4 controller for games like Ikaruga because the stock 360 controller is so god damned terrible for those games.

@Scotland:
I don't think you read that right. It's actually Wii HERION.

This ([cache.gawker.com]) picture reminds me of this video.

no, no...i can definitely see myself using the Horse peripheral.

Wii Heroin : "The addictive game that you can easily win... if you just keep playing"

Kotaku: "100%. Wii Heroin is a simple and addictive interactive wii game. I have difficulty keeping my hands off this game and it is definitely worth its current street value of $89"

Instructions:
You keep chasing the dragon, you keep chasing and chasing him. While you're doing this you can shoot up with Heroin. But know this, no mater how close you get, you will never catch the dragon... (unless you keep playing.)

Coming soon: Wii Rehab. It's like Wii Heroin, but instead of chasing the dragon, the dragon chases you.

@Invisible-Echidna: Couldn't agree more.

horse ass should be first place... xbox 360 with a NES controller? bah...

mdn

WTF? Where'd my Wii Jackhammer go? Sure, it's no Wiiron, but still. It has Kelly Ripa!

The Horse ass is definitely the best. Who are your judges, Giz?

What about this one:

Entaum

@Die Fledermaus: Now that's funny. You'd be #1 on my list...for a price that is.

I'm going to use the Horse Peripheral to distribute candy on Halloween!

Thank you, Gizmodo!

As someone who LIVES on a horse farm, I give props for the realism of #3. From the shoulder high glove, to the slightly side stance to avoid being kicked, this is good. Things missing include the 1 quart squirt bottle of lube and the pile of crap you literally need to scoop out to properly palpate a mare.

@Scotland: Isn't this from Southpark? The Guitar Queero episode I believe.

One more vote for #3 as the best ever photoshop in the history of photoshopping.

@GitEmSteveDave_NowW/PantsOfMeat:

There are some things I just don't need to know that much about.

I want the Wii adapter for cars and light planes with heads up display. As you play Mario Kart, you are driving your car around the WalMart parking lot. Or a couple of Cessna pilots can can play WWII Aces together.

@Entaum: haha so funny at the end 'SWALLOW, SWALLOW' brilliant!

@Bandit: Cant agree more

@Weihovah: It was done Sunday. According to statistics, 4 out of 5 Americans still needs to finish their laundry by that time.

first and second place are just stupid. Let us vote.

LeeMarvinsPants

@GitEmSteveDave_NowW/PantsOfMeat: The horse butt wins. Hands down.

@GitEmSteveDave_NowW/PantsOfMeat: This is the single most awesome comment I have read this week.

I love the horses ass, should have been the number one!

+1 for the horse
