Energizer Flat Panel Induction Charging System
Recently I raved on and on about how Nyko finally succeeded in creating an almost perfect Wii remote induction charger after so many others had fallen short. It took years from the Wii console’s release for someone to make a really great charger, but it has taken only a few weeks for a second to appear: Energizer’s Flat Panel Induction Charger.

Penguin United Crossfire Remote Pistol - Accessory Review
The Wii remote, a long, slender object held with one hand with your forefinger on a trigger, is more gun-like than other game controllers, but using it still feels a lot more like operating your television remote than firing a glock. This explains the appeal of gun shells that allow you to turn your remote into a plastic gun. What is interesting about Penguin United’s Wii Pistol is that it is…

Nyko Charge Base IC - Peripheral Review
All I wanted was the perfect induction charger for my Wii remotes. Was that so unreasonable? Yet every charger I tried was flawed. Then I tried the Nyko Wii Charge Base IC, and while it may not be perfect, it comes so close that it makes me wonder; why could no one do this before?

Penguin United’s ElectroFlow Charger - Accessory Review
Any charger is an improvement over dealing with batteries, but inductive chargers, make your life easiest, since you can recharge without removing the remote’s silicone sleeve or add-ons like the MotionPlus. The latest inductive charger on the market is Penguin United’s new ElectroFLow Charger. It’s not perfect, but it is arguably the best inductive charger to date.

Komodo's Buckshot Lock and Load Gun Shell - Review
As a professional reviewer, my job is to evaluate the pros and cons of a product and come to a reasonable judgment as to its merits. This proved somewhat difficult when I picked up Komodo’s Buckshot Lock and Load light gun peripheral for the Wii remote; it’s hard to consider something reasonably when your brain keeps yelling, “Woah! This thing is freaking awesome!”

Energizer Induction Charging System - Accessory Review
A beautifully designed device from a well known company, Energizer’s charger has only one flaw; it doesn’t work very well.

Quad Dock Plus - Accessory Review
DreamGear’s Quad Dock Plus, which can make up to 4 Wii remotes rechargeable, worked great for five days. Then it died. Normally my response would be to contact the manufacturer and ask for a second review unit, but based on my past experiences with DreamGear, I’m not even going to bother.

Twin Star Sabers - Accessory Review
DreamGear’s Twin Star Sabers, a pair of Wii remote add-ons that turn your remote into a light saber, fulfill the first basic necessity of gifts for kids: they look cool when you open them up.

Nyko Wireless Kama - Wii Peripheral Review
Nyko has two solutions for players looking for a wireless nunchuk. One, the Nyko Wireless Adapter for the Wii Nunchuk, is simply a wireless sheath for Nintendo’s nunchuk. The other is a wireless version of Nyko’s own nunchuk design, known as the Kama.

Nyko Wireless Adapter for the Wii Nunchuk - Peripheral Review
The first time you connected the Wii nunchuk to the Wii remote, you may have had the same thought I did: “Shouldn’t this nunchuk be wireless, like the remote?” Apparently the folks at Nyko thought so too. Their Wireless Adapter for the Wii Nunchuk turns the standard Nintendo nunchuk into a wireless device.

Nyko Wireless Sensor Bar - Accessory Review
Behind my entertainment center, which contains a TV, DVR, receiver, turntable and 6 game consoles, there is a twisted mass of cords that is formed into a great Gordian knot. Perhaps that is why I am so fond of cordless devices like Nyko’s Wireless Sensor Bar for the Wii.
