Nyko Technologies appears to have brought innovation to the game accessory market. Last week, Nyko announced two brand new products for the Nintendo Wii to enhance the controlling experience. One will not only pimp out your Wiimote, but increase is safe usage, while the other creates a `Transformers` like approach to using the classic controller and remote together. Their names are The Click Grip and The Classic Controller Grip respectively. The Click Grip is designed to replace the standard battery cover on the Wiimote with a stylized (colorful) alternative that has a textured rubber backing. This allows for a more comfortable and secure grasp on the unit and adds a splash of color for personalization. The Classic Controller Grip is designed to allow use of the Wiimote and Classic controller at the same time, while providing a clean comfortable grip. The snap on assembly connects the two Wii controllers with a molded grip system for one stop controlling. "The Classic Controller Grip and Click Grip represent our commitment to giving consumers access to cutting-edge products that enhance their gaming experiences," said Chris Arbogast, Marketing Manager at Nyko. "Whether you`re looking for a way to keep a better handle on the Wii-Remote or an easier way to manage your Classic Controller and Wii-Remote simultaneously, Nyko has the solution for you." Check out the attached images to get a better feel for these new products. The Click Grip is expected to be available in March for $5.99 and The Classic Controller Grip will be available in April for $14.99.
