Nyko Wii Wands get a dash of color

Just as Nintendo finally decides to bring some of that noir goodness over to the US, Nyko pops up with no less than four new colorways for its Wand Wii remote. We're no anthropologists here, but we reckon one of these new options will do a lot better in sales than the other three. All the same, with Nintendo furnishing Japan with blue and pink Wiimotes, Nyko has played it safe and followed suit. These should be hitting Walmart right about now with an MSRP of $29.99, so look out for them at your next government-sponsored Wii bowl-a-thon.

They sell something similar to this is in poundland and there going for $29.99 in US? Overpriced!

it isn't just a cover, it's a complete remote (and it isn't white, which costs a lot more).

Is it just me or do they look more and more like a dildo?

[ImDaIllest Posted Oct 16th 2009 7:06AM]

Paging Dr. Freud...

Sometimes a Wii Wand is just a Wii Wand.

These are ugly for a reason. Nyko got sued by Nintendo when the first version of the Kama wireless nunchuk looked too similar to a first part Nintendo product.

F those, I got 3 Wiimotes that looked like they were opened up but never used for $15 apiece at my local Goodwill thrift store. They get used/returned Target items every now and then I suggested taking a look if you live by one.

Really? My goodwill's electronic section is a stereo from 1970, broken black and white tvs, and CRT monitors that most likely are dead and are also horribly stained from their previous owner's chain-smoking habit.

SHHHH! You're telling everyone MY secret!

I have a pile of Wii remotes next to me that were all new and purchased between $3- $14 each. Eventually, it reached a point where I just had to stop buying them no matter how good the deal was.

The problem is that people can't figure out how to pair the remote initially. The lights on the Wiimote don't even blink if it has never been paired, so people assume it's not working. After all this time, Nintendo still hasn't done anything to address the issue. Nintendo includes a booklet that doesn't even cover initial pairing. It ONLY shows how to remove the jacket to change batteries and warns you to always use the jacket and the wrist strap. FAIL.

Now, both Target *and* Wal Mart are donating these to Goodwill instead of returning them to the vendor. Their loss...
