ODD PROD: Wii 2.1 Stereo Speaker System

Here’s an Odd Prod from across the pond: the Wii 2.1 Stereo Speaker System. You think I’m joking, don’t you? I thought this was an April Fool’s joke when I saw it (it was April 1) but after some more investigation, both Adam Russell and I soon realized that while incredibly strange, this is no joke.

The Wii 2.1 Stereo System comes with a remote control shaped like a Wii Remote, has two nunchuk-motif satellite speakers, and its subwoofer looks like a Wii with some GameCube style sensibilities. The best part is that the Wii can sit comfortably beside it, which is oddly somewhat alluring to me.

While the system is available only in the UK at this point, we’re hoping it gets some sort of North American release. 4gamers is the company behind it and I was able to pick up their Wii Messenger Bag (that I use for day-to-day courier duties rather than to transport my Wii) at Toys R Us in Toronto, so my fingers are effectively crossed. Stay tuned to Toronto Thumbs for more info on this should it make its way over.
