10 Strangest Video Game Peripherals



Shaking babies and chopping vegetables in-game is all well and good when you’re doing everything with a standard controller but where’s the immersion? Well don’t panic! Video game publishers and cheap quick-buck third party companies alike are all too willing to sell you the very latest in lumps of plastic, from the Wii Cooking Mama Kit and the Babysitting Mama Interactive Baby, to the Boosterboy and the Gameboy’s frankly horrifying Pedisedate. Here are the 10 Strangest Video Game Peripherals!

  1. A lot of the weird Gameboy accessories are actually pretty clever idea because of the market at the time. Integrating computing power into your device was really expensive. Since Gameboys were so mass produced it was cheaper to connect to a Gameboy than have a built in processor. No one was really expecting gamers to use a sewing machine, but the sewing machine + a gameboy was cheaper than the computerized sewing machine.

  2. Seeing Johnny Arcade using the laser scope brought back memories of that Nintendo power show. That same design was used for a voice activated water gun. Can’t recall what it was called though, but it was just as annoying.

  3. This video is one of my watch list's two consecutive list videos released today by a British video games youtube channel to reference the Mario sewing game.
    Neither is the first I've heard of this game.

    What is life?

  4. Haha I had surgeries when I was 7 and 8 years old. I was out cold almost instantly when they sedated me. If I played a Gameboy while they were doing that, I wouldn’t make it passed the Gameboy Nintendo intro.

  5. The Babysitter Mama baby kind of makes me sad. I was leaving the world of retail and one of the last things I did was send almost 100 of these unsolds back to HQ, where I'm sure they got destroyed for parts. It's an ugly baby but I hate when a thing with a face fails…RIP

  6. The playon game boat sounds like something you should try, to really become the first people to use it in an IRL stream or some paddling pool!

    Coming into the list I thought THQ's ill conceived uDraw for the PS3 and 360 would be on here, but that was commercially disastrous, not strange, and seeing the weird stuff on the list blew that out of the water!
