Last year at the CES Show Nyko introduced the Wand, which allowed for button commands to be sent through the controller's Transport technology. We are big fans of the Wand which is bright and bold, also appearing to have a better range than the official Nintendo remote. The most exciting part is that the Wand has new techology which enables Nyko to develop other products that can be attached such as the Action Pak system enabling both A and B buttons to full function from the Pistol attachment.
While we had been anticipating that Nintendo would eventually come up with a device that incorporates Wii MotionPlus technology into one single controller, Nyko has shown Nintendo how MotionPlus should have been done with the Wand +.
This is most significant because it eliminates the clunky setup that using the Nintendo-branded products require. The Wand + severely reduces the controller's overall size and should provide for an more comfortable total gaming experience.
No release date has been stated yet, more to follow.
