Nintendo News | Nyko Announces Gripping Accessories

By Jorge Ba-oh 24.02.2007 11

Nintendo's unique motion and classic controllers have been subject to much torment since the console's release, with some incapable gamers damaging their peripherals. Nyko have revealed accessories to help Wii owners get a grip.

The first grip, designed for the Wii's classic controller, adds handles to the unit and allows it to be attached to the Wii remote. Nyko's Classic Controller Grip will be available at retailers nationwide this April for a rrp of $14.99.

Nyko's other grip attaches as a Wii remote battery cover, allowing no excuse for attention-seeking gamers who would be prone to throwing their accessories about. Three colours are avaliable, as above, for $5.99 each.

Thanks to N-Philes for the tip.

Seems quite good, although the classic grip is perhaps a little tacky, seems like it can easily declip.

That is so stupid.

I like the grip thing but its useless to have the wiimote on the back of the classic controller insofar.

I hate all this stuff, what twats actually buy this shit?


Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

I don't care for this, the control feels good as it is, and the 3rd Party logo almost always feels tacked on. Having it on the box the accessory comes in should be enough for people to know what brand they have bought. Or atleast alittle more descrete placement of the logo. Looks shitty

yeah that thing is poitless... Smilie why would you wanna spend $15 on it!?!?

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Although I wouldn't use this myself and I also don't see the point in this type of stuff, but I do think Nyko produce some quality third party accessories. Their Wii-mote charger looks incredibly better than the Joytech's Power Station and their other products look great.

Look, everyone! More cheap rubbish for people with more money than sense! (buys two)


Screwing the rules since 1989.

The Classic Controller grip looks a bit tacky to be honest. I can't see that selling very well.

It makes the classic controller look how it should have looked in the first place! Smilie

I saw drawings for the top model a while ago, i never thought it would look this bad, there is also a weight issue when the remote is attached in such a way, and i really dont like the prominant branding. LS
