The 6 most ill-conceived video game accessories ever

[NintendoKing]

I love the game Gyromite, so the ROB is a great idea. But I prefer playing gyromite with one controller in each hand.

I actually found this article to be a lot more ... useful? ... informative? ... freakin hilarious? ... all of the above. http://www.cracked.com/article_16196_7-commandments-all-video-games-should-obey.html

(And I was surprised that they only found SIX useless accessories.)

I didn't even know ROB was in Mario Kart DS!  Sorry to stray off-topic again..

I'm wondering now how ROB could ever be used usefully in a game..  Would be cool if he could be the opponent in chessmaster, with chess accessories or something.      As if that could ever work, what am I thinking!    

It actually isn't that bad of an idea.  Nintendo could have programmed a list of commands into the game, and then it would automatically, whenever it was ROB's turn, flash lights corresponding to which move he would do, and then make a certain movement or something like that..
