Several Nintendo Switch owners who purchased a third-party dock from Nyko were furious last March when the dock apparently bricked their $300 console. On Friday, one brought a class action lawsuit against Nyko alleging that the company wasnât vocal enough about the dockâs manufacturing defect.
Sean G. says his 80-hour Zelda: Breath of the Wild save file no longer exists, along with the other contents of his Nintendo Switch, after the systemâs recent 5.0 firmware update met his Nyko portable docking kit.
Playing multiplayer Switch games with a single Joy-Con isnât the best, especially for those with large hands. Nykoâs snap-on Swivel Grips make a big difference, while turning the Joy-Con into an alien fly creature.
Earlier this month Nyko released its Portable Switch Docking Kit, a $50 alternative to Nintendoâs official $90 dock. Mine works great, and charging the Switch in tabletop mode is very handy, but a handful of users are reporting the device has killed their consoleâs charging port.
E3 isnât just about new games. Itâs also about new headsets, keyboards, mice, controllers, speakers and storage solutions. Letâs take a look at some of the coolest new hardware announced during the show.
If youâre the kind of online player who instantly mutes everybody talking at the beginning of a match, then the Nyko SpeakerCom is probably not for you. Maybe go with virtual reality acupressure arm strap instead. Nyko brings weird things to E3.
Nykoâs elegant console-mounted solution to adding cheap 3.5 inch hard drives to the Xbox One is finally available for purchase, one month after I cracked and added a terabyte via the âhang a 2.5 inch drive off the back of the console via USB cableâ method.
Not too long ago, it would have been hard to imagine filling up a game console with more than 500GB of stuff, but many of us have already reached that point. At CES, Nyko announced the Data Bank for the PlayStation 4, which both replaces the internal drive and allows 3.5" drives to qualify as internal storage.âŚ
If you're looking for more elegant ways to charge your DualShock 4s and Xbox One controllers, we've got some creative new spins for you.
This is not a new model of the Xbox One. (Nor is it a paper-cutter.)
Clever, clever Nyko. Banking on Xbox Smart Glass and the second-screen experience being a big part of the next generation of consoles, they've readied a means to bolt your phone onto your Xbox One or PlayStation 4 controller.
Awww, that sweet 3DS Circle Pad extension from Nyko that we saw in June isn't actually going to be made. Bummer.
With LittleBigPlanet Vita utilizing the touch controls of Sony's latest handheld to make creating and sharing levels more accessible than ever before, budding creators will need a lot of juice to bring their vision to life. Enter Nyko's battery-enhancing Power Grip, making Sony's dream of a batarang controller aâŚ
Last week I reported on Power A's MOGA portable gaming system for Android devices, a system that allows developers to quickly integrate game pad support into their Android titles. Nyko's PlayPad line of tablet controllers might not be quite as elegant, but they make up for that lack of style by being compatible withâŚ
While other hardware manufacturers focus on releasing high-quality arcade fight sticks that follow the same basic formula, Nyko allows players to change everything with the Free Fighter, a $179.999 programmable fighting game controller with a singular look and a unique modular design.
Nintendo's official 3DS Circle Pad Pro extension is, well, it's not very pretty. It's also getting hard to find. Thank the maker for Nyko, then, who have not only produced the world's first third-party alternative, but have come up with something that looks much nicer than Nintendo's offering.
As a father of a pair of twin boys addicted to musical television shows, I'm not sure the prospect of a Nintendo DS / iPhone dock alarm clock containing 30 songs from the hit children's show Yo Gabba Gabba is a blessing or a curse.
Available now at GameStop locations across the U.S. Nyko's Speaker Stand for the PS Vita adds a little more oomph to the Sony portable's sound, and transforms it into a handy mobile Skype solution.
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.
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.
