Nyko Wii U peripherals

[Demon_Skeith]

CES is a huge show for hardware manufacturers and accessory producers alike, and Nyko has brought a whole lineup of Wii U peripherals to this year's show. The Charge Station U (above, right) offers a $34.99 alternative to Nintendo's dock, adding two charging slots for standard Wiimotes on the back along with rechargeable battery packs for each.

The Pro Commander (left) is Nyko's spin on the Pro Controller – the biggest change over Nintendo's optional game pad changing the analog stick configuration to mirror the Xbox 360 controller. The Pro Commander fetches $34.99 price tag, $15 cheaper than the official Nintendo peripheral.

Nyko has also brought with it previously announced Wii U accessories to CES, including UBoost – a clip-on battery pack for extra Wiipad juice – and the Charge Base Pro, which can charge up to two Pro Controllers at once. The Power Stand for the WiiPad is also on the show floor, another cradle alternative for the tablet-like controller.

Um yeah, I'll stick with the Nintendo version

Yeah, the blocky look on the controller isn't appealing at all, the charge station on the other hand looks nice. I already have the energizer brand one for gamepad and two wiimote's so Im good to go.

Sounds and seems negative for me, they could have done much better than this. Nintendo version is far better than any.

I bought a Nyko charge station for my Wii remotes, 90% of the time it never charged the damn things.
