NYKO’s Wireless Sensor Bar, the one that got such great reviews, is on sale at Amazon right now.  Amazon has it for $15.99.  Our original sensor bar died months ago, and we were forced to get a replacement, so we opted for this one.  It has increased the distance you can play from the TV by about 15 feet!

Go get yours!

A while ago, I posted a link to accessories on Amazon by Nyko; equally fruitful is a search for accessories by CTA Digital, a company making all kinds of crazy accessories for your Wii play.

Here’s a small selection of their offerings:

The Wii Shot Gun

Wii Grand Slam Sports Pack

Wii 9-in-1 Sports Pack

Wii Karaoke Microphone

There are several pages of accessories listed - a word to the wise though, always read ratings, even if you don’t take other people’s word for it.  Remember, caveat emptor!

So, in a mood of total randomness, here’s some deals from Amazon.

We love Nyko accessories, and the price has dropped a bit on the Wii Charge Station. Some friends of ours have this, and seem to like it. We here at We Know Wii have not purchased this yet, as we use our wiimotes to drain our dying AA batteries. Amazon has this on sale for $25.99.

Next on the list, the amazing, all-powerful, wonderful, gameplay-changing Nyko Wireless Sensor Bar. Amazon has this for $17.99, and We Know Wii *highly* recommends this!

More of these to come, as I’m always checking for the best deals.

I’m a pretty big fan of Nyko’s accessory line for Wii. I just ran across another one from Nyko that I have to pick up; if you’re a fan of using the Classic Controller

for Wii - for all of those N64 and GameCube games you can’t let go of, like Star Tropics for me - then check out the Classic Controller Grip for the controller and wiimote.

The Classic Controller Grip by Nyko wraps around the classic controller (as you have probably noticed, it’s not so easy to hold on to), and attaches to the Wiimote in order to facilitate faster playing.  But really - as much as I love efficiency, scheduling, and all of that - if the reason for buying the Classic Controller Grip is to save time on playing games, then it might be time to clear up some time on your schedule.

Check it out!  It’s ten bucks.  Barely event he cost of eating at McD’s.

In lieu of Nyko’s lawsuit with Nintendo over the wireless Kama Nunchuk, we’ve decided to link to a page full of Nyko’s accessories. We highly recommend the Wireless Sensor Bar, for starters. It improved our Wii playing distance by at least fifteen feet.

Check out a full list of holdings at Amazon of the Nyko line of Wii accessories.

It appears as if Nintendo isn’t very happy with Nyko right now.  Nyko, the peripheral manufacturer, is being sued by the Nintendo Corporation for its wireless versions of the Nunchuk.  Nintendo stated that Nyko’s Kama Nunchuk “wholly appropriates the novel shape, design, overall appearance and even the color and materials used in the Nintendo Nunchuk controller” in their federal court complaint.

Accessory company NYKO has produced a solution for a “problem” that apparently exists with Wii users - the really small cable that goes from the wiimote to the nunchuk. NYKO has created a wireless transmitter that takes that cable completely out of the loop and makes the Wii completely wireless. Once again, NYKO has brought  another innovative product to the world of Wii.  From the NYKO website:

The Cord-Free is a unique wireless adaptor for the Wii Nunchuk that easily converts your wired Nunchuk in to a wireless peripheral for your Wii remote. The ergonomic sleeve easily holds and organizes the Nunchuk, cable and batteries providing a compact, clean and convenient conversion system for the Nunchuk. Once the Nunchuk is inserted in the sleeve, you can now enjoy full wireless freedom with all your favorite Wii games without the hassle of any wires tethering your hands together.

Well, Wii Gamers, if you have the desire to take every single cable out of the loop between the player and the console, this new item from NYKO is your solution. What this writer has to ask about this new product, all of its awesomeness put aside: what kinds of excellent games are you playing that require no wire?
