Way back in January Nyko showed off an enticing new version of their Wii remote alternative, the Wand+. It's basically the already great Nyko Wand with the WiiMotion Plus hardware built right into the case--that's right, no annoying dongles to fuss with. Even better, the Wand+ retails for $39.99, about ten bucks cheaper than Nintendo's Wii remote and MotionPlus bundle. As with all Nyko's other peripherals, this one contains their Trans-Port technology, which lets it talk electronically to other Nyko add-ons, like their Kama nunchuks and Pistol Grip light gun.
I thought the Nyko Wand was a very good alternative to the Wii remote, so I'm eager to try out the Wand+ on my MotionPlus-compatible games.
