Battle Of The Wii Remotes: Official vs Third-Party
Nintendo are no longer the only company in town with a Wii Remote on the market. You can get peripherals from third-party manufacturers too, with differing aesthetics and differing price points. So which is better? More »

Nyko's Wii Remote Charge Station Won't Work with Motion Plus
I just ran by the Nyko meeting rooms to find out about their Wii Remote Charging Station. That's the thing that comes with replacement rechargeable batteries and allows you to dock your remotes in a holder to charge them when not playing. Personally I find mine irreplaceable, mostly because I can never remember to buy batteries. More »

Ladies And Gentlemen, We Have Booth Babes
They said it was over, but you can't keep a good booth babe down. 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". I captured this image and a full body shot you can find after the jump before I found myself becoming the real reason the end of the E3 booth babes had to happen - sweaty, nervous menfolk. More »

Nyko Media Hub
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 »

Nyko's Wireless Nunchuk Attracts Nintendo Lawsuit
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 »

Nyko Zero PlayStation 3 Controller Glows Goodness
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 »

Nyko Gives Wire Haters A Second Dose Of Wii Love
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 » -

Nyko Brings Guitar Hero, Rock Band Together Via One Guitar
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 »

Nyko Wiimote Charger Reduced To $20
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. This Nyko charger holds two 'motes and includes batteries. IGN reviewed it quite highly and I'll be ordering mine later today...now to find another plug around my entertainment center... More »

Hands-On With Nyko's E3 Accessories
We just got a hands on with Nyko's Wii Party Station and we can safely say that it's crazy. Crazy awesome. It's got pretty much everything you want to have when you're having a Wii house party, and it's designed cheaply enough ($24.99) for every Wii-owning family to use as an accessory to enhance their gaming.

Nyko Wireless Sensor Bar
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 »

Nyko Guitar Hero Adaptor "On Hold"
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 »

Yes, Kotaku, Nyko Does Enable Guitar Hero On PS3
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.
