With a Nintendo Wii Football on the way it was only a matter of time before MLB games got a little more authentic. That’s the case with thew newly released Louisville Slugger Wiimote peripheral

The bat fits snuggly around the Wiimote and features a cool looking grainy bat design with the Louisville Slugger emblem printed across the top of the bat.

What I’d really like to see is a weighted set of bats so I could experience the real feel and fatigue of a major leaguer. In the meantime at $14.99 the Louisville Slugger peripheral is still a pretty cool extension for true ball fans. [SlipperyBrick via Toys R Us]
