NYKO Wand - Wii Remote Replacement


NYKO is the first to create a Wii-compatible wand to replace the Wii Remote.

The NYKO Wand is fully compatible with Wii, and can do everything the Wiimote can. They are also configurable...something the Wii-mote is missing.

Experience new levels and immersion and innovation with Nyko’s Wand for Nintendo® Wii™. The Wand allows for complete control of all compatible Wii software and menus and features full motion control support, vibration feedback, and built-in speaker. With the Wand in your hand, you’ll have total control of all your Wii software as well as a rubberized B-Trigger, larger 1 and 2 buttons and an improved and re-worked d-pad for more comfortable and accurate classic and horizontal game play. Expand your control possibilities with Nyko’s Trans-Port Technologies, exclusively developed for the Wand. Trans-Port Technology allows specially designed attachments to pass through key buttons to the attachment, allowing for more responsive attachments that can easily integrate with your Wand controller for a variety of games.

One of the coolest things, in my opinion, is the fact that the NYKO Wand is rubberized. Why Nintendo decided to make the controls so slippery for a game that's designed to make you sweat.
