When it comes to mobile gaming, first party acessories can get damn expensive. That's where Nyko comes in. When it comes to third party gaming accessories, nobody is as prolific and nobody gets their gear to market faster. More »

Nyko never met a console or portable it couldn't make a ton of additional crap for, and the upcoming PlayStation Vita is no different. At CES 2012 in Las Vegas the peripheral maker debuts its launch lineup of Vita accessories. More »

Because of the USB port on the PS3 controller, I always considered the DualShock charging stations I saw at Best Buy to be like bottled water. Why pay for something that's already provided for free, right? Just plug the damn thing in when it runs low on juice. More »

I don't know if I'll ever be sold on the idea that motion-control in first-person shooters can provide any greater fun or any means of shortening the genre's tactical learning curve into something more instinctive. It is, as I've said, like trying to turn a doorknob with barbecue tongs. You're just better off turning it with your bare hand, even if doing it with the tongs looks cool. More »

Let's face it. The onboard battery for the 3DS stinks. It gets around 3 to 5 hours on a single charge, depending on the settings. Those numbers aren't anywhere near the DSi XL or DS Lite. Too bad there isn't a solution. Well, turns out, there is. More »

These two lovely red-haired ladies are representing accessory manufacturer Nyko, the company that stands for tank-tops and hot pants...at least that's all I saw as I entered their meeting room to catch a few snapshots. The one on the right? At least six feet tall. It was daunting, even for me at 6'6".

Were you one of those folks that opted for the cheaper 20GB PlayStation 3 without the card reader and now regret that decision? Perhaps you picked up the 40GB version that lacks the card reader and only featured 2 USB ports in front? Sure, you could have a USB hub and a card reader dangling off the front of your console, or you could wait until August when Nyko releases the NYKO Media Hub for the PS3. More »

Remember Nyko's wireless nunchuk controller for the Wii? Seemed kinda pointless to me. Not Nintendo! Thy don't see it as pointless. They see it as an infringement on their patent designs and trademarks, and as such, are suing Nyko, claiming the company's Kama Nunchuk "wholly appropriates the novel shape, design, overall appearance and even the color and materials used in the Nintendo Nunchuk controller". Nyko's response? "We have not knowingly violated anyone's intellectual property and we're still examining this". I don't know whether "we accidentally violated Nintendo's intellectual property" will hold up in court, guys. More »

Are you dreading spending $55 on a new DualShock 3? Then how about spending $60 on a generic? This Zero controller by Nyko promises all the wireless rumble/tilt of the DualShock 3. But why would you spend more than on official Sony gear? It features aluminum panels, backlit LED buttons, comfortable controls and a removable NiMH batter pack good for 25 hours of play. The catch? Word is that the wireless technology isn't Bluetooth, but standard 2.4Ghz (requiring an adapter, we're guessing). Still, if this had an offset analog stick ala Xbox 360, I would consider the purchase. More »

When we played around with Nyko's wireless nunchuk controller at CES this year, we found it to be rather enjoyable, if ultimately questionable as a purchase. The peripheral manufacturer has a second "wireless" solution prepped for gamers who simply can't tolerate being tethered in any way, shape or form. The Cord-Free wireless adapter for the nunchuk not only liberates your Wii-mote from its wiry shackle, it provides a proud display base, letting owners show off their left-hand controllers. No more having your nunchuk laying about like a slob when not in use, no more messy wires, but less realism when performing garrote wire kills. More »

While Activision, RedOctane and Harmonix sling barbs at each other via the internet and corporate statements in a very un-rock and roll like fashion, PlayStation 3 owners are twiddling their thumbs waiting for second guitars to play Rock Band with. Nyko, manufacturer of all things wireless and occasionally of questionable worth, has its own solution, one that lets PS3 owners play both Guitar Hero III and Rock Band. Using the power of dongles, one shaped like a small scale footpedal, fake guitarists can switch from one title to the other, all while playing a very capable guitar controller. More »

Cheapassgamer has pointed out that the Nyko Wiimote charger has been reduced by 33% on Amazon (and we're guessing some other retailers, too.) At a recent get together, our friends watched in anguish as I picked up each of my four Wiimotes, only to find they were all out of batteries from their auto-on-with-any-movement settings.

A simple idea that is a completely practical buy as far as accessories go. Personally, I hate the fact that the sensor bar has to be connected to the Wii. It's so prone to getting moved around by cats and cleaners (yes, we have a cleaner at the Tower), and the thin wire that connects the two together absolutely loves getting tangled up in stuff. A wireless sensor bar like the one being offered up by Nyko is perfect to fix such situations. Although it runs off batteries, the bar has an on and off switch as well as an automatic off timer that can be programmed at one hour or two hours. It's priced at 3,200 Yen, and for those who like to keep their shelves free of cat hazards, the Nyko wireless sensor bar has to be the way to go. More »

Are you sitting down, Guitar Hero fans? Nyko's PS3 Play Adaptor, which was announced in January and promised support of PlayStation 2 guitar controllers—meaning proper Guitar Hero I & II play on the PLAYSTATION 3—has been put on indefinite hold. At the time, I was overly skeptical of the announcement, due to a Red Octane rep telling me Guitar Hero would never work on the PS3. More »

After Crecente posted about Nyko's announcement that their PS3 Play Adaptor allowing Guitar Hero controllers to be used on the new console, I immediately went into doubt mode. I even questioned Crecente's ability to read press releases, as I'd heard in November from a Red Octane rep that there was no workaround for getting your current guitar controllers to work on the PS3.
