Nyko unveils a strange concept: a wireless Classic Controller

Filed under: News, Peripherals

Nyko’s Wing is the first truly wireless Classic Controller alternative (that isn’t actually a GameCube controller): instead of a short cord, it communicates with the Wiimote via a wireless adapter. Unfortunately, it additionally looks about as comfortable to use as the Turbo Touch 360. The patriotic-looking Wing runs on two AAA batteries, and can even recharge them while playing via a USB cable. Nyko has yet to release any price or release term for that controller.

What’s so weird about a wireless Classic? It may not

connect to the Wiimote with a wire, but it’s still connected. You still have to have the Wiimote sitting next to you (which isn’t really a problem). The controller communicates wirelessly with the Wiimote, and then the Wiimote communicates with the Wii. It’s like a relay for your button presses. We want one like GameCyte’s preview copy.
