Nyko Media Hub Beefs Up Newer, Wimpier PS3s
Those who threw down the extra cash for a first gen PlayStation 3 got a few bonuses in return—the newer 40GB version is shy a few USB ports, a memory card reader and hardware-based backwards compatibility. Nyko is solving two of these problems with their Media Hub, a 3-port USB hub with media card reader (SD and Memory Stick). Compatible with all available PS3s, the Media Hub snaps seamlessly onto consoles and works from a horizontal or vertical position. Expect the Media Hub to hit stores this August for $20. Sorry you're still jacked with the backwards compatibility stuff. [Nyko]

Nintendo Suing Nyko Over Wireless Nunchuk
Hey Nyko! Don't know know that no one but Nintendo is allowed to make money on the Wii? And according to them, you've violated their patents on the nunchuk. It doesn't matter that you made a (superior) wireless version of their $20 peripheral. They claim that the Kama Wireless Nunchuk "wholly appropriates the novel shape, design, overall appearance and even the color and materials used in the Nintendo Nunchuk controller." You, of course, heartily disagree. [Bloomberg via Kotaku]

Nyko's Charge Base 360 is finally shipping, acting much like the Charge Base PS3 they released last year. The 360 version is slightly different in that it comes with two special rechargeable battery packs with contacts that charge when docked into the charge base. If the $39 is slightly too expensive, you can go the cheaper route with Nyko's Charge Station 360, which just takes in packs instead of whole controllers. Order on June 2 and you'll be able to get their black and gold model, which looks like a original Star Trek series prop. [Nyko]

Nobody likes buying batteries, and chances are if you are a fatty in dire need of some Wii Fit workouts, you will probably go through quite a few of them. Fortunately, the team at Nyko are offering a solution with their new Energy Pak product for the balance board. The Pak installs on the bottom of the board and makes it easy to plug in for a recharge without having to remove the device or turn the board over. You can get your sweaty hands on one starting May 19th for $19.99.

Nyko's Kama wireless Wii Nunchuk (no, not the adapter) is going on sale now, online, before the official retail launch in May. If you buy now, you'll have a chance to get one of the limited edition grey, black, pink or gold units that sync wirelessly to your Wiimote adapter. The limited edition won't be available in stores, hence the limited part, so if you want a colored one you'll have to act fast. [Nyko]

Guitar Hero III Gets Another Controller: Nyko's Front Man
I've never got into Guitar Hero, but if you're a fan and fancy a new controller, then here's Nyko's new Front Man for you. Wireless and fully compatible with GH3 (of course) it boasts all the usual control stuff like bidirectional strum bar and durable fret buttons. Plus it comes with interchangeable pick guards in "designer colors". That'll be black, white and shocking pink, then: perfect for those 70's riffs. It's available now for $49.99. [Ubergizmo]

Nyko Wireless Wii Nunchuck Adapter Reviewed (Verdict: It Works)
It is 2008 folks. Controllers with wires are just plain unacceptable. If you are a Wii owner, that cord connecting the Wiimote and the nunchuck can be infuriating. As you have probably heard, Nyko has come up with a wireless adapter for existing nunchucks that promises to eliminate the problem—but the question is how well does it work? More »

Nyko Wireless Nunchuk Adapter Sucks Class From Wiis and Ninjas
Nyko's replacement wireless nunchuk controller may have raised the question, "do we really need a wireless nunchuk?" But their new wireless nunchuk adapter, a peripheral that uses the same Wiimote wireless nunchuk transmitter plug-in and replaces Nyko's sleek wireless nunchuk with your old, crappy wired nunchuk but using a massive dongle to wrap up the cable...is just tacky.
Let's just make something clear: if you buy such ugly tech, don't expect your friends not to punch you in the face when they come over just to play Wii Sports. Even if it "only costs $20." [kotaku]

We saw a bunch of Nyko gear back at E3, but we didn't get a chance to do a hands on with this Charge Base 2 for the PS3. It's essentially just a dock that you can shove two SIXAXIS controllers onto to charge them when not in use. Why would this be useful? Because the default USB cord that comes with the PS3 is way too short to be charging and playing at the same time, meaning you're going to have to constantly walk all the way to your console after you're done playing to charge it. And if we can pay $29.99 to avoid walking, we'll do it. [IGN]

Nyko Wireless Nunchuk, Wiimote 2.0
Nyko's gone and done what many of us expected from the Wiimote in the first place—they've created a wireless Wii Nunchuk. You know, because despite all the motion freedom Wii may promise, gamers are still tethered between controllers like dogs on a leash. Here's the lowdown: More »

Just looking at Nyko's Perfect Shot controller shell brings back childhood memories spent playing Namco Arcade Shooters. Now a bit of that nostalgia is coming to the Wii. I think Nintendo's zapper attachment is nice, but the plain white design was a bit generic for my tastes. This, however, is a whole other story. The shape of the gun, the colors used, all have a throwback feel—and I like it. A tactile trigger controls the B button, and a pass-through port allows the nunchuck or other future add-on to be used. With light gun games starting to arrive on Wii, I may have to pick this up, just to relive some of my nerd glory days. The Perfect Shot should be available on December 24 for $12.99. [Amazon]

The Gadget: Nyko's Charge Station 360, which has been around for a while, but is just the thing that new Xbox 360 owners (who got in during Halo fever) need to keep two controller battery packs charged simultaneously. Plus, it even comes with two free battery packs; which cost $12 each when sold separately.

In addition to having the fantastic Wii Party Station, Nyko also had a bunch of other accessories for all three consoles. First, a wireless Xbox 360 Guitar Hero guitar, which is still in the prototype stage and may not even make it to market. Their guitar may hit a whole three months sooner than the official Guitar Hero III wireless guitar, but there are a couple caveats. One, you need a wired controller to hook the whole thing up.

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.
