Sanyo Eneloop charge station for Nintendo Wii

The new Sanyo Eneloop charge station for Nintendo Wii is the first Nintendo-licensed recharger to come out for gamers and it can charge your Wiimotes in 220 mins. Its sort of a cool gadget since it uses a contact-free electromagnetic system whereby you can leave the battery in during charging. So there’s no need to pull the batteries out and you don’t have to align it correctly to work. Sounds like a good thing to buy since my Nyko Charge Station goes freaky once a while and it does not charge when I plug in the Wiimote at certain angles. Moving it around solves the problem but that makes me work too hard.

Eneloop charging station complete with a battery pack replacement pack for your Wii remote and a charging base that can support as many as four controllers at once. Remotes charge in a respectable 220 minutes and Eneloop will even charge sequentially so you don’t have to wait an extra couple hours for your next Smash Bros fix. Available for $73 as an import item, but we wouldn’t be surprised if this showed up on our shores for powerless gamers this fall.

UPDATE: Confused about why this is important? The new recharger uses a contact-free electromagnetic system so you don’t need to remove your battery pack. Oh – it’s also the first Nintendo-licensed recharger.

Nintendo unveils Wii MotionPlus at E3 2008

Nintendo on Monday introduced an accessory that improves the motion sensitivity of the Wii video game controller. MotionPlus works in combination with the built-in accelerometer in the Wii remote and the sensor bar within the video game console to deliver more comprehensive tracking of the player’s movements. As a result, the accessory, which attaches to the end of the remote, provides a one-to-one response of a player’s movements and the video game.

Nintendo sues Nyko over Kama Wireless Nunchuck

I have a few Nyko products in my Wii collection. The Charge Station rechargeable batteries and Extra Battery and Grip Cover for Charge Station and they are great products. When I saw their new Kama Wireless Nunchuck, I wanted to order it too but forgot about it. Now I guess I should buy one as it may someday become a collectors item since Nintendo is not too happy about this gadget. Get the Kama Wireless Nunchuck over here

Nintendo considers that Nyko has infringed its patent over Nunchuck name and violated its patented design.

Nintendo asked the court to issue an order to stop Nyko to sell the wireless controller, which is priced at $39,99. The Japanese company, which is Kyoto-based but has offices in Washington and Redmond, is seeking also cash compensation.

“While Nintendo supports the creation of innovative games and products used with our game systems, we cannot allow third parties to infringe our intellectual property rights,” Denise Kaigler, a vice president with Nintendo of America, said in a statement.

Nintendo Wii Nunchuck controller goes Wireless

Thanks to Nyko, you don’t need to plug the Wii Nunchuck via cable on da Wiiremote anymore. It has gone Wireless.

It has full accelerometer support and it goes up to 30 hours of gameplay on two standard AAA batteries. That�s quite good since the Nyko Charge Station makes my Wiiremote play for only 25 hrs. Expect to see it on Amazon or your local store shelves in February 2008 for $29.99.
