LAS VEGAS – January 8, 2011 – Nyko Technologies®, the leading videogame peripherals manufacturer, today unveiled its full lineup of new products to be showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Nyko will showcase their entire Wii U product line-up, including two newly announced products in the
Charge Station U and the Pro Commander. CES attendees will also be able to go hands on with Nyko's recently announced accessories, including the UBoost, Charge Base Pro and more. The following products will be making their public debut at the show:

Charge Station U

The successor to the #1 selling Charge Station for Wii, the Charge Station U stores and charges 1 Wii U GamePad and 2 Wii Remotes and includes 2 NiMH rechargeable batteries and rubberized battery covers for the remotes. The Charge Station U utilizes an easy drop and charge system that allows you to conveniently charge your controllers while you store them so you always have full power each and every time you game. The station comes with its own AC power supply, so it I can rapidly charge all 3 controllers simultaneously. The GamePad cradle portion of the dock is also equipped with adjustable viewing angles making it perfect for watching video content while you recharge your controllers. The Charge Station U will be available in February for a MSRP of
$34.99, in both white and black.

Pro Commander

Take command of your favorite Wii U games with the Pro Commander, a Pro Controller alternative featuring traditional analog stick placement. The Pro Commander wirelessly connects to the Wii U and works with any game compatible with the Nintendo Pro Controller. The analog stick layout of the Pro Commander is akin to other popular controllers, putting the action face buttons right under the thumb while featuring fully
depressible trigger buttons. The Pro Commander will be available in both white and black for a MSRP of $34.99 in February.

Nyko will also be providing hands on demonstrations of the rest of their recently announced Wii U line up including:

UBoost

This clip on battery pack adds double the battery capacity to the Wii U GamePad in a sleek attachment that can also act as a multimedia viewing stand.

Charge Base Pro

Easily store and charge 2 Wii U Pro Controllers utilizing Nyko's patented charging dongle design. The dongles attach to the controller, and allow each controller to be magnetically held by the vertical charging base while artfully suspended while charging.

Power Stand

Conveniently charge the Wii U GamePad in this sleek stand using the existing GamePad AC power cord that ships with the Wii U.

All of Nyko Wii U products will be hitting retailers nationwide this February.
