Lara Croft Spanks Self with Wii Remote, Nunchuk

Ma'am, that's not how you play Wii boxing.

Ma'am, that's not how you play Wii boxing.

So Eidos put a new page of renders of the lovely Lara Croft up on their official Tomb Raider site today, supposedly in celebration of Tomb Raider Anniversary hitting for the Nintendo Wii. In most of them she's holding the Wii remote and nunchuk the way normal people do, and I've been told these images are used in-game as part of the control tutorials.

(The same person informs me that the jumping puzzles in Tomb Raider: Anniversary are so poorly implemented that it's possible to clip through the walls of the levels and watch Lara fall to her death in an infinite black void. I haven't played the game myself, so I have no idea if it's really this bad. The 72% review average at Metacritic suggests mere mediocrity.)

Anyway, also included with them is the image I uploaded above, in which she's... man, I don't know what the hell she's doing, short of encouraging M-rated uses of the Nunchuk strap. That's certainly about the worst position possible for actual gaming.

The cord tilts up as it goes behind her. Is... is it resting on her ass?

 

Mind you, this is the same Eidos that threw a hissy fit at a dude for rating their terrible game with a low score and started one of the bigger explosions of marketing vs. journalism in the games industry. Aren't they still partially owned by Bono?
