Wii Nyko Battery

Nyko Introduces Latest WII Wireless Controller & Quitar

We wanted to take a quick look at two accessories built exclusively for the Nintendo WII gaming console. Nyko, the Los Angeles based company that has supplied economic alternatives to console accessories for over a decade, has recently released a Wii Wireless Controller to replace the Wii’s wired “nunchuck” controller. They have also delivered a solution to those that are tired of consistently buying batteries for their controller. The Charge Station Quad is a charging dock and rechargeable battery pack system for up to 4 Wii remote controls. Both the Wireless Kama and of these items are exclusively for the Nintendo Wii gaming console and are designed to compliment your existing hardware. Apart from Nyko Charge Station Quad & Kama Wireless Remote for Nintendo’s Wii, it’s reported that Nyko showed off some new Nintendo Wii Accessories for the Wii and other systems (but most importantly the Wii) at the CES trade show. The company offered some more concrete information about the release of their wireless nunchuck, specifying a Q1 2008 release window and $30 price point for this product. Their other Wii peripheral is something that fills a very important need in the Wii accessory lineup: a standalone WII Wireless Guitar hero iii controller. The Nyko Frontman Wireless Guitar is a wireless (obviously) controller styled after the Fender Telecaste. This guitar should be out in March or April — a few months and fifty dollars are the only things between you and rocking out with a second player. Unless Activision beats them to the punch with their own standalone guitars in which case some other amounts of time and money will be required. We first took a look at the Quad charging dock. The first thing I thought of when seeing this device is, “I wonder how much money this thing will save me over time?” Before using the charge station, my family of four were playing with the Wii console for no more than 3-4 hours a week total, but each Wii remote was going through 2 “AA” batteries every month or so. This was not only costing a small fortune in Duracell batteries, but it was a constant pain to have to search around the house for working batteries. We were able to get (on average) about 5 hours of continuous play from a charge playing typical games like Mario Kart Wii, Wii Music, and Super Mario Galaxy. The rechargeable batteries obviously last less than the your typical ‘throw-away’ batteries, but the point is you save a bunch of money when you use the product. The rubberized grip is much better than the stock controller grip during long gaming periods of gaming. You can find various grips on the online market Topons costing less than $10 a piece so having them included with the Charge Station is a real plus.
