Snap-on Grips Upgrade the Nintendo Switch Lite With Rumble Feedback Based on In-Game Sounds

If you thought you were only sacrificing Joy-Cons and TV connectivity with the Nintendo Switch Lite, the lack of removable controllers also means the compact console doesn’t have any vibration feedback. If you really want to feel that rumble when catching a butterfly in Animal Crossing, this set of snap-on grips from Nyko will upgrade…

Amazingly, This Vile Contraption Would Make Video Game Chats Better

Be forewarned: the civil, polite, and respectful discourse that accompanies many online games could potentially devolve into something childish, even bordering on vulgar, with Nyko’s new Sound Pad. It’s a keyboard-like accessory that attaches to a controller allowing players to trigger sound effects in a game’s voice chat. Sound effects that could even include (brace…

Nyko Is Mercifully Making the Wireless SNES Controller That Nintendo Refuses to

Nintendo can claim that sticking with wired controllers makes its SNES Classic Edition a more authentic retro gaming experience, but in reality it’s probably just a cost-saving measure. Wrangling controller cables isn’t a part of your childhood worth reliving, however, so Nyko once again has mercifully bestowed gamers with an affordable wireless alternative. https://gizmodo.com/the-nes-classic-is-so-much-better-with-a-wireless-contr-1791570302 The…

This Tiny Dock Finally Makes the Nintendo Switch Truly Portable

The Nintendo Switch is the perfect console for taking your games on the road, but if you want to connect it to a hotel TV for big screen gaming while traveling, you’ll need to make room for its clunky dock in your suitcase. It’s arguably the worst-designed part of the Switch, but third-party companies like…

The NES Classic Is So Much Better With a Wireless Controller

Several months after its release, it’s still difficult to track down Nintendo’s amazing NES Classic Edition. The tiny console is everything you want it to be, but it does have one tiny flaw that isn’t related to limited retail availability: incredibly short controller cords. The cord on the single controller that comes with the NES…

There’s Already a Wireless Controller For Nintendo’s Tiny New Console

The adorable NES Classic Edition won’t be available for another week, but there’s already a wireless replacement for the tiny console’s included tethered controller because as much as we all love retro authenticity, we’ve learned to despise wires when it comes to gaming. https://gizmodo.com/nintendos-new-console-is-just-adorable-1783661792 Nyko’s Miniboss features the same button layout as the NES Classic…

This Invisible Fence Will Stop You From Blindly Running Into Things While Playing VR Games

It’s fun watching people wearing an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive run into walls, trip over furniture, or smash into other obstacles while playing a VR game. But it’s not as fun when you’re the one accidentally breaking your own TV, so Nyko has come up with a solution that makes it safer to explore…

Finally, a 3DS Alarm Clock and Battery Pack With a Buttload of Speakers

Nyko’s new 3DS accessories are both excellent and horrible reminders of the way we live now. First, a horribly frankensteinian alarm clock/charging dock/speaker system, the Play Dock. If you can dream it, it can be crammed into an alarm clock. Next, the ill-named “Shock ‘n’ Rock,” which combines a much-needed life-tripling battery pack with four…

Nyko Zoom for Kinect Lets You Play in the Tiniest Apartments

A pair of lenses that clip onto your Kinect, Nyko’s Zoom reduces the distance you need to play Kinect by up to 40 percent. If it works, it sounds terribly useful, especially in New York City (trust me). I’m wondering how significantly it affects Kinect’s peripheral vision though, especially when you’re talking about bringing in…

Nyko Wand+ Hands-On: I Love Watching Nintendo Get Kicked In the Balls
