Wand
Nyoko's excellent Wand controller is already available in white, purple, blue, pink and black. Well now we're getting five more colors: yellow, orange, red, lime green and my personal favorite, graphite. These colors kind of remind me of the pre-production Wii color schemes that Nintendo showed off, wayyy back when it was still codenamed Revolution.
While the previous Wand colors are available just about anywhere you can buy Wii accessories, the new ones are divided up among an handful of different retailers. Walmart.com gets yellow, Fry's gets red, Gamestop gets orange and green, and Meijer gets graphite. This could be an issue for people who don't have access to one of the retailers; for instance, there aren't any Fry's where I live and I know Meijer is pretty much a Midwest thing. Then again, I'm sure you could order them online. Like the other Wands, these new colors are $29.99 apiece, ten bucks cheaper than a first party Wii remote.
I'm glad Nyko is still promoting the Wand because it really is a great Wii remote substitute--I use the Nyko Wands I own almost as often as I use Wii remotes. Of course, I'm still excited about the Wand Plus, which should be just around the corner...
