Review: Dragon Ball Z – Ultimate Tenkaichi (PS3)

We were notified recently that a line of products under the brand ezGear would soon be arriving for the Nintendo Wii. The products seek to satisfy a variety of needs for the Wii gamer, from controller add-ons to game carrying cases. I’m expecting to have a look at some of the items soon, and I’ll share my impressions with you at that point, so there’s something for us all to look forward to. In the mean time, we’ll have a look here at some of the initial information out for the products.

One of the more interesting products is actually the boxing gloves, which hold the Wii Remote and Nunchuk against the back of the hand. I have a lot of trouble throwing punches in Wii Sports Boxing, and if this works out the way it looks like it should, I will be very pleased. Wii Sports Boxing is a fun game, but the controls are the most challenging hurdle to play.
