What will the Wii-Brator be sold for?

Suspended

Suspend date reached

Background:

Background: The Nintendo Wii's control stick could provide previously undreamt of "peaks of excitement" for within one's own four walls

Student, Valentin Heun of the "Bauhaus" university (Weimar, Germany) took a Wii controller and converted it, without further ado, into a genuine “Joystick”.

In contrast to conventional vibrators, the duration and strength of the vibration are determined by a secondary person. If this person vibrates his or her controller, the other Wiibrator begins to whir as if by magic. The power button intensifies the vibrations.

If your partner isn't around, users can enjoy him/herself with his/her own program by pressing the Home button.

Depending upon gender, different attachments are available for women and men. The equipment for the woman is called 01, and for the man, 00. The names are derived from the human chromosome. The complete product is named OIOO.
