Nyko drops price on Wand, ships controller bundles

Nyko announced today that its two Wand controller bundles, which include the company's weird-looking Wiimote and extension controllers, have shipped -- a bit late of the original June date, but at least they made it out before spring 2010. The Action Pak includes a Wand and a gun controller, which uses Nyko's "Trans-Port" function to include operable buttons on the gun itself (and not just a lever that hits the B button). The Core Pak includes a Nunchuk-alike with rumble.

The company also announced that it has knocked five bucks off the price of the standalone Wand controller, now offering the device for $29.99. That seems like a boon to Wii owners in a hurry to acquire a full complement of four Wiimotes.

god i hope Nyko develops a wireless nunchuck that's compatible with the WM+ accessory! i HATE the default nunchuck! it gets tangled to easily! seriously the default nunchuck will make 1:1 sword play games almost IMPOSSIBLE to play and enjoy. if not Nyko then Ninty should at least develop one! although I'm sure Nyko will do it before Ninty does and believe me, that would come at no surprise.

Why didn't they make the zapper look like that?

It would have sold a LOT more.

If you are in America and go to Big Lots, you can find loads of highly reduced Wii accessories.

I bought a 3rd party wheel accessory from Five Below for $5 and...eh...I wish I had gone with the Nintendo branded one. Sometimes with that stuff, you get what you pay for. The lens in the side was crap (thankfully, easy enough to pop out) and the Wiimote doesn't stay in very well. But that's CHEAP 3rd party stuff.

Do we know if the gun grip will
