Video game peripheral maker Nyko announced today two new products compatible with the Nintendo Wii, called Perfect Shot and Net Connect. Here's what the company's Marketing Manager Chris Arbogast had to say:


Whether you're looking for pinpoint accuracy in your favorite shooting games or a hassle-free solution for getting your Wii online, we're confident that both of our new products will fit your gaming needs.


The Perfect Shot basically is a Wiimote holder with a secure locking system and lets players hit the remote's B button using a tactile trigger mechanism. Aside from that, the accessory also has a pass-through port that can be used with the Nunchuk and the classic controller for more compatibility.

Net Connect, on the other hand, is a high-speed Internet connection for the Wii that requires a Cat5 Ethernet cable and an existing Internet connection. Setup is rather easy as all players have to do is connect the device into one of the console's USB ports and attach it to their home network.

Both Perfect Shot and Net Connect will be available across North America this coming December for US$ 14.99 and US$ 24.99 respectively.

I wonder where the wrist strap is. Does it rest in the grip or underneath the Wii-remote in the barrel somehow? Or are they going to make you remove it every time you want to use this peripheral?

Sony simply cannot make plastic controller holders, or controllers with pointer devices on them (assuming they'd want to), DAMN!



Cameras with image recognition, controllers withdual motor rumble or more than 1 analog stick or 4 buttons? Who would want that?

As far as I understand the Sony controllers didn't even have rumble for almost a year because they said, "It was last-gen technology".

Actually it was two gens ago with the PS1, so that was a correct statment. People just wanted it back, and here it is with the Dualshock 3. Yeah I have one and it's much better than a Wiimote that only works with certain games.

Well technicall the N64 had the rumble pack, but what's the point in bring up this old sh*t?



Sony didn't bring back the rumble because people wanted it, people always wanted it. And Sony straight up LIED when they made this comment, the reason why rumble wasn't in the PS3 controller was because they were going through a lawsuit with the company that owns the patent.

I mean they did include it in the controller once they settled. Pretty funny huh.... And isn't it up to the game developer to decide weather or not to use the controller rumble? So if some devs didn't use the rumble, how is that the rumbles fault inside the Wiimote? How does that make the SIXAXIS' rumble better?
