Sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but for the longest time Nintendo has been able to get away with offering hardware add-on(s) to all of it’s consoles and nickel and dime it’s loyal fanbase. Some good but mostly not needed to have fun on a Nintendo system. Thrustmaster is offering a new peripheral for all of the skateboarding and snowboarding games on and coming soon to the Wii. Hit the break for the presser.
