Introduction

During our recent visit to the Gadget Show Live one of the companies we talked to was NoLimitZZZ who detailed a product they’d put together that they touted as some sort of Wii killer. Called the Blobo (blob-oh) it’s a PC enabled motion controller which hooks up wirelessly to play several Wii-Fit, Wii-Sports inspired games. There’s running, jumping, basketball, bowling and more. Let’s see how we get on.

Product Description
