Turn Your DSi Camera Into A Slightly Better Camera

Luke Plunkett — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:00:00 MST

The DSi's camera is OK for quick snaps but, like the early days of mobile phone cameras, it's quite limited in what it can do. Which leaves a gap in the market for clip-on accessories like Thrustmaster's Studio Kit.

It includes a range of add-ons to help bring the camera up to speed, like a macro lens, telephoto lens, wide-angle lens and even six colour filters.

It won't actually wring studio results out of such a tiny camera, obviously, but for only $20, it won't hurt, either. Well, except for that bag. That hurts.

Thrustmaster Unveils DSi Stand For One-Handed Net Browsing

Brian Crecente — Fri, 01 May 2009 08:00:00 MDT

Thrustmaster today unveiled a stand for the DSi and a strap that doubles as a charger for the portable.

The T-Standee Charger is a multi-position docking station for the DSi that also allows uses to charge their console. The stand can rotate so you can play or view your DSi either horizontally or vertically. I'm not quite sure why one would want to surf the Internet on their DSi with just one hand, but I'm sure there must be reasons.

The T-Strap Charger is a wrist strap with a safety slider and charging case. When not being used as a strap, you can split the strap apart and plug one end into the Wii remote and the other into a USB to charge the controller.

The standee is listed as 12.99€ while the T-Strap Charger is listed for 7.99€.

Thrustmaster Get Wii Lightsaber Peripherals RIGHT

Luke Plunkett — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 06:20:00 MDT

Good old Thrustmaster! They made the baddest PC joysticks back in the 90s, and...well, to be honest that's the last experience I had with the company, since my Top Gun joystick from, oh, 1999 is still going strong. Think it's time to get reacquainted with their wares, though, after seeing their entry into the field of tacky Wii Remote clip-on accessories/peripherals. Where other companies would cut corners, release a shark gun, release a plastic tennis racquet, Thrustmaster have released the "Glo Saber Duo Pack", which while lacking an official Star Wars license does come with two very official-looking sabers, which light up (they're LEDs) for added faux-authenticity. Only thing they don't do is make a wwhhuummm noise, but if that's what kept the costs down to $35, we can do it ourselves.

Ubi Shows Wii-heel In Action (Sorta)

Brian Ashcraft — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 00:20:27 MDT

The delightfully accented Alexis Bodard from Ubisoft paints a visual picture regarding how the Wii Thrustmaster Wheel will be used with the upcoming Monster 4x4 World Circuit. It's not fully functional, so Alexis just kinda holds it and moves it around with an inserted black Wii-mote. Brian Ashcraft

Wii Thrustmaster Wheel Revealed

Brian Crecente — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 18:56:15 MDT

IGN spent some time with Tats Myoio talking to him about Ubisoft's still- in-development Wii racer GT Pro Series.

The most important thing to take away from the story is the above picture of the Wii wheel, kinda sweet, though it's going to totally feel stupid using.

The game is going to include 80 licensed cel-shaded cars and will have the wheel, made by Thrustmaster, bundled with it.

And if you ever get ticked playing the game, it should be fairly easy to discus the wheel through your flat panel. Brian Crecente
