The stuffed animal swallows the wiimote, and then you use the stuffed animal as the controller.
I don't know whether to be creeped out or to call this a breakthrough in gaming. You'll just have to watch the YouTube video:

How bizarre.

That is hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. I think for little kids it would probably be a lot of fun and something neat and unique. I don't see having one around the house (or the need really, I mean the stuffed monster is just a prop, it doesn't appear to impact game play). But mark my words, this is EXACTLY the kind of goofy peripheral crap that will be super rare in about 20 years. Collectors beware! Like that stupid robot for the NES that I can't seem to find in good working order for a reasonable price anymore...

I'm sure you are 100% correct. This is the kind of game where you buy the game and animal together and keep it wrapped in the original packaging.

Could you imagine if they made it multiplayer with several stuffed animals and you had a room of little kids playing the game? It would result in absolute hilarity or therapy.

Wonder how long it will take before some kid shoves a Wiimote down his own throat because the stuffed animal can do it.

You know what? I think this is really cute! As long as the price isn't out of this world I'll probably buy a pair of them. One for my Son and one for my Nephew. I hope they come in different colors

Well, that was bizarre.
At the same time it looked like a puzzle-solving platformer. Stan sounds spot on though as far as this being potentially super collectable in the distant future. At the same time, I'm still not motivated to buy it. The game seems just too weird for me, and well -- I'm not the target audience here. At the same time, there is the potential to get kinda fancy, a little RF-id tag on the various 'badges' that the kid shows at the very end of the video and now you can interact with the monster even more because of what I can only call a Pokemon mechanic. Need to leap over that super high wall... well you need the spring badge kid. You could even sell additional buttons that way with downloadable content to make it a fully integrated system...
...
Man, that's good coffee or that is AWESOME disco!
Hex.

That is D.A.N.C.E. by Justice. It's a funky tune, but repetitive to the extreme. Watch the MV for it, they did a good job of making me nostalgic.

This stuffed remote will probably catch on bigtime, since Wii is so big with the ten and under crowd.
