E307: Nyko gets its Wii Party Station on

by David Hinkle { Jul 13th 2007 at 1:10PM }

The stream of Nyko products made available to Wii fans have finally reached their apex. Sure, they've hooked us up with a docking station, but this is just too much for us to handle. The Wii Party Station is just that, coming complete with four docking stations to charge that many Wiimotes, room to hold and chill four beverages and a nice little chip-and-dip bowl. It even has personalized scoreboards, allowing you to make known to the room your ~~lack of~~ "mad skillz." Look, it even has a little cooling fan, allowing you to pretend you're actually on the lanes when playing Wii Sports: Bowling. And, seriously, the thing is only $25 bucks. That's just about the price of a DVD!

Buy. It. ASAP.

According to IGN, the docks are just rests... No charging happening here.

Still cool, IMHO... but not -as- cool.

This is horrible.

It's this kind of consumer garbage that makes other countries hate/resent/pity the USA.

I -really- like this idea, but it could still use some work. Bigger bowl, charger and some other things.

I want this to work, but right now they're just missing the bar.

@Jonathan Tran

Your comment is ridiculous. Most of the world envies/appreciates/and relies on innovations that the US cranks out everyday.
The world hates the US because of a gimmicky product? Come on!

Anyway... this is a poor choice on Nyko's part. Some of their other Wii items are actually pretty good.

that's the dumbest accessory i've ever seen.

What the heck are you talking about unreal mccoy? Havent you ever heard of the theories on a show called South Park? Screw you guys, I am going home!!

I'm thinking nintendo should stop wasting their time with Nyko and endorse better game products like Ubisoft and some other ones. DARK!

Ok folks - listen up - 1) it will NOT recharge your remotes and 2) the cup holders go in your freezer to keep you drinks cold - peep this from: http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=13843

"For the ultimate in Wii party experiences, Nyko's introduces The Party Station. Combining multiplayer conveniences with food and drink storage, the Party Station is one of the most unique Wii products, but also one of the most useful. Multiple LCD scoreboards allows gamers to keep track of multiplayer face-offs, while the Party Station's built-in fan keeps hands cool during the most heated of tournaments. When it's time to eat, the Party Station's built-in snack and dip bowls keep the food coming, while drinks stay upright in four cup holders, including four supplied freezable cup sleeves to keep them chilled. Storage is also made simple with four slots to hold Wii remotes and a drawer to store accessories like SD cards and manuals. The Party Station is designed to maximize the social gaming experience unique to the Wii."
