Okay, now it's getting weird.

It's 2010, most console owners are playing PS3, Xbox 360 or Wii. However, only owners of the console from Nintendo can feel honored, because their console received... Wings, which were also a controller. However, similar to the maracas, the wings produced by CTA Digital were only compatible with one game. It was the Bird's-Eye Bulls-Eye mini-game included in the Wii Fit Plus, in which the player controlled a chicken that flied between different targets. The wings were supposed to help us feel like a chicken, as the designer himself stated:

The wings are to help you feel what it's like to be a bird.

Well, who wouldn't want to feel like Icarus... Or a bird flying to get as many points as possible, for no apparent reason. Anyway – there are probably bird lovers who bought this gadget.
