Ever since the Wii was released, third party attachment and peripheral makers have been having a field day. If it’ll attach to your Wii remote, it’ll sell. If it’ll make you feel like the hero in the game while simultaneously making people question your mental faculties, it’s a hot item in the minds of attachment makers. There have been swords, light sabers, golf clubs, tennis rackets, and bowling ball attachments to name a few. But none shame gamers as much as the add-on above.

While out at a Fry’s Electronics in California, I spotted what I believe to be the best example of a bad Wiimote attachment. For the princely sum of $2.49 you, too, can be like Dr. Stiles when you use high quality plastic surgical attachments like scalpels and tweezers in surgery. Granted, the attachment doesn’t cost a significant amount of your hard-earned money, but would you really stop in the middle of a surgery and flip through the plastic attachments to find the right one? I didn’t think so.

Sadly, we know some gamers out there will purchase this. After all a “geek” is someone who has “an abiding, obsessive, self-effacing, even self-destroying love for something besides status” according to author D.B. Weiss. In fact, my geeky tendencies come out from time to time. Buying the Rock Band Stage Kit is a great example of this. You may laugh, but I stick to my defense that you’ve never played Rock Band until you’ve played it with the stage kit. Aside from younger gamers purchasing this, something tells me that even the strongest geeky tendencies wouldn’t allow more than a handful of people to purchase the add-on.

Have some of your own “best of the worst” attachments? Let us know in the comments!
