Cord-Free Wireless Adapter Provides Wii Nunchuk Owners with a Wireless Solution
LOS ANGELES - March 11, 2008 - Nyko Technologies®, a premier peripherals manufacturer, today announced that it has shipped its Cord-Free wireless solution for the Wii Nunchuk to retailers nationwide. The Cord-Free provides a quick and simple way to convert wired Wii Nunchuk controllers into a wireless accessory for gamers yearning for more freedom of play.
Nyko's Cord-Free wireless adapter adds a convenient self-standing sleeve to the wired Nunchuk and uses a dongle that connects to the bottom of the Wii Remote. The dongle provides lag-free wireless connection between the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, providing up to 15 feet of wireless range.
Boasting up to 60 hours of continuous gameplay, the Cord-Free also features a convenient compact cord management system that keeps the existing Nunchuk cord organized and out of sight. The Cord-Free for the Wii Nunchuk runs on two AAA batteries (included).
"Nyko is committed to providing Wii gamers with multiple high-quality wireless solutions like our Kama Wireless Nunchuck and Cord-Free," said Chris Arbogast, Marketing Director at Nyko Technologies. "The Cord-Free provides an inexpensive and immediate solution for Wii owners looking to convert their existing wired Nunchuk into a wireless solution for hassle-free gameplay."
Nyko's Cord-Free wireless adapter for the Wii Nunchuk is now available at retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $19.99.
One thing to note about 3rd Party Accessories: They don't tend to look a whole hell of a lot (shape wise) like the official ones. The reason is patents held by the company that produced he console.
The shape of this is pretty damn close to the official Nunchuck, so Nyko seems to have set themselves up.
