CES 09_ Hands On With The Wii… Err, Eee Stick

By Alex Chen | October 12, 2025

ASUS hears pay69 your cries, PC gamers. They know you’re not content with keyboard and mouse controls, that you’re desperate to get your hands on a faux Wii-remote to control the seven games that support it.

They realize that you want motion control, but that you want it to be far less functional than the standard Wii remote. Thanks to the Eee Stick, which the hardware manufacturer announced in August, you can experience the thrill of tilting things to control on-screen objects.

We got a chance at CES to go hands on ufa888 with the Eee Stick, which outdoes Nintendo in the color department by offering the device in more than one color.

Unfortunately, during our extended play time with Astro Avenger II, we weren’t too impressed. Why? riches777 Not only does the Eee Stick appear to determine the zero state position based on how it’s being held when booted up, it’s amazingly frustrating to use. Even in 2D, we found our spaceship floating its way into the upper right corner, with no amount of effort able to pull it back out. Fun!

Curiously, the one title that would appear to be the best fit for the Eee Stick, Sega’s Bass Fishing, seemed to take no advantage of the motion control aspects.

We’re not aware of ASUS’s plans to bring the device stateside, but, if they don’t plan to, we can’t say you’re missing much.
