Alpha Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 We just got a hands on with Nyko's Wii Party Station and we can safely say that it's crazy. Crazy awesome. It's got pretty much everything you want to have when you're having a Wii house party, and it's designed cheaply enough ($24.99) for every Wii-owning family to use as an accessory to enhance their gaming. But the best part is, of course, the chip holder. Nyko told us that they were going to re-evaluate the design and increase the size (making it deeper and wider) to accommodate more chips. The amount in there is enough for one person, but as a party tray it's fairly under-stocked. But the idea is great. There are LCD scoreboards (so you can keep track of which one of the four of you is winning), Wiimote holders, a drawer for Nunchucks, a fan (like the bowling alley) for sweaty gamers, four freezable soda cup holders (with built-in gels to maintain coldness), and a chip and dip holder for, obviously, chips and dip. We didn't eat any of their chips, because they were presumably sitting out all day getting poked at by sweaty journalists. [...] The current version's still just a prototype, but they plan to release a final version in the next couple months. What do you guys think? Let us know by replying to this news post!

Ahmad89 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I already left my thoughts somewhere else, but I'll leave em here too I guess.... 1: Slots for 4 Wiimotes < Oh wow, I never knew leaving them sit on my table or putting the damn things in my entertainment center was such a faux-pas. I guess I got learned. 2: Hand cooling fan < Wiping my hands on my pants (Or rather not being a fat pig that sweats all over his controllers in the first place) 3: 4 numeric LED displays < And for what? Really, what? Oh wait, Engadget say's they're scoreboards...like I can't see my flocking TV screen, I need little LED scoreboards! 4: Cooled cup holders < I don't know about you, but like most gamers, I tend to drink a nice REFRIGERATED can of pop if I want cold, but I'm a coffee man......where the hell's my option of heated cup holders you cheap bastards? 5: Bowl for chips and dip < What am I? Some metrosexual goofball, my Tostito's stay in the bag and my dip stays in the container, I ain't cleaning goop off some cheap piece of plastic sitting on on my coffee table. GTFO!LOL "cleaning goop off some cheap piece of plastic" thats hilarious Its a way to make money. You wont but it other will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 What's that white thing in the drawer? Is that a soundblaster speaker among the scoreboards, or a radio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 What's that white thing in the drawer? Is that a soundblaster speaker among the scoreboards, or a radio?It's an hand cooling fan to dry your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken_cinder Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 *wonders what the 3 knobs are for* look like buttons to me, probably fan controls as it looks like each scoreboard has it's own buttons as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
