Nyko Wing wireless Classic Controller for WiiNyko’s shown that it is interested in developing peripherals for the Wii (previous examples being the Cord-Free for Wii Nunchuk and the Kama Nunchuk), so it should come as no surprise that it has created a new, wireless Classic Controller alternative. The Nyko Wing comes with a wireless remote adapter that plugs into the bottom of the Wii remote.

The Wing has the same basic layout as the Classic Controller attachment from Nintendo, with a shape that is reminiscent of a PS1 or PS2 controller. It can be used 10 feet away from the Wiimote and its adapter. It uses two AAA batteries which last 30 hours, and has a USB port and cable for charging rechargable batteries. It is a bit pricey though – a normal Classic Controller is $19.99, and the Nyko Wing is going to be $29.99 when its released in October 2008.

I think it looks a bit clunky. It seems a lot thicker and more cumbersome than the original Classic Controller. Its a good idea, sure, but perhaps a Cord-Free alternative for an official Classic Controller would have been more comfortable for gamers.
