Nyko CES 2009
Los Angeles, Calif.—January 8, in the year of our Lord 2009 – Nyko Technologies®, today debuted its full lineup of new products at the Consumer Electronics Show 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition to the previously announced Metal Pedal™ and Charge Station™ Quad, the following lineup of brand new videogame accessories for the Nintendo® Wii™ will be on display for an exclusive hands-on demo:
The Wand™
The Nyko Wand is the world’s most advanced alternative to the
Wii Remote™ and has been designed from the ground up for
superior functionality, comfort, and value. The new controller
maintains all of the control functions Wii gamers expect with
full motion-sensing capability, pointer functionality, vibration
feedback, and a built-in speaker, while offering a variety of
new features.
The Wand contains Nyko’s all-new Trans-Port™ technology, which enables control and vibration feedback to be electrically replicated on a compatible attachment accessory, providing for faster and more accurate input response. Current attachments made for the Wii Remote can only access buttons through use of mechanical triggers and provide no vibration feedback. One of the many potential uses of Trans-Port technology is a pistol grip that connects to the Wand and electrically replicates key action buttons, providing controls not currently accessible with attachments for the Wii Remote. In addition, enlarged 1 and 2 buttons make the Wand an exceptional choice for classic gaming control when turned sideways, complete with Nyko’s signature rubberized battery cover to ensure maximum comfort and grip.
The Wand will be available at select retail stores nationwide in April, 2009.
Charge Station™ EX
The Charge Station EX is the latest iteration of North America’s
best-selling third party videogame accessory, the Charge
Station™ for Wii. Also a 2-port Wii Remote charging and storage
solution, the Charge Station EX adds LED battery level
indicators to the front of the device and a new sleek look. Now
users will be able to determine not only when a controller is
charging but also the charge level of the battery based on the
LED indicators.
The Charge Station™ EX will be available at stores nationwide in April, 2009 and will retail for an MSRP of $34.99.
Kama Charge Kit™
The Kama Charge Kit is an all-in-one charging solution for the
Wii. The device simultaneously stores and charges both the Wii
Remote™ and the Kama controllers in one convenient unit.
Included with the Kama Charge Kit is a Kama Wireless Controller,
a rechargeable battery pack, and a rubberized battery cover for
both the Wii Remote and Kama controllers to allow for seamless
drop-in charging.
The Kama Charge Kit will be available at stores nationwide in April, 2009.
