Hands on with Nyko Wing: Wii’s Classic Controller Goes Wireless

sooner today , Nyko unveiled the Wing , a wireless controller for the Wii , ground on Nintendo ’s own classic comptroller . Aside from the whole no wire thing , they ’ve put their own spin on the accouterment by tweaking the biotechnology , incorporate a barrage charger , and adjusting the button spacing . After spend a bit of time playing some Megaman 9 and Street Fighter II with the Wing , I recollect it ’s a suitable classic controller alternative when it hits entrepot in mid - October .

The big thing here I ’m a fan of is the lack of wires between the Wing and the Wiimote . It ’s always clumsy finding somewhere for the Wiimote to sit , and it frequently falls off my lap covering / sofa / table , get a distraction . The Wing uses a RF dongle that plugs into the bottom of the Wiimote and has a mountain range of 10 feet . The controls generally feel as tight and reactive as the original classic controller , but did hurt the episodic glitch ( Nyko attributes this to the controller being engineering sampling and assure it will not be a problem with the terminal product ) . As far as intent go , the shape is more akin to a PS2 or Xbox 360 comptroller , and make the Wing scene in your hired man more of course than the classic controller . The four universal gas constant buttons on top have also been adjusted and space so that its easygoing to distinguish and tap each one . The body-build quality is jolly decent , but not quite as nice as an prescribed Nintendo product — which is to say that the Wing is more clicky and plastic feeling . But it ’s barely a bargain bin product either . And one of the neater additions is the mini - USB interface included for charging shelling in the Wing . If you have rechargable batteries , you could punch in to a mini - USB transmission line and charge up the controller for another 30 hour of wireless gambol , making the barrage fire operation loose . As bring up before , the Nyko Wing will arrive in stores around mid - October and with a $ 30 pricetag , it ’s a pretty likable product . [ Nyko on Giz ]
