Our own Dan Keener will be meeting up with Nyko at CES in a month and today they announced some of the things they are going to show off. Some will be unveiled during the show but they are definitely going to be displaying the Medal Pedal, Charge Station Quad for Wii, and Wired Kama and Wired Wing controllers. I guess if you don't want to use batteries the wired Wii controllers would be good but I just can't go back to a wired controller after using wireless ones for so long.

LOS ANGELES - Dec. 16, 2008

The premier video game accessories manufacturer, Nyko Technologies®, today announced a portion of its new lineup of products to be on display during the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show from January 8th-10th in Las Vegas, Nevada. Nyko will be showcasing its latest video game gadgets and accessories, designed to enhance the consumer experience on every console from the Nintendo® Wii™, to the Xbox 360™ and PlayStation®3.

In addition to several brand new products that will be unveiled on the first day of the show, Nyko’s recently announced accessories that have yet to hit retail stores will be on display during the event, including:

* Metal Pedal™: A heavy-duty drum pedal for use with Rock Band™ 1 and 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour™
* Charge Station Quad for Wii: A 4-port controller storage and charging solution for the Nintendo® Wii, based on the best-selling 2-port Charge Station
* Wired Kama and Wired Wing for Wii: Wired counterparts to the wireless Kama and Wing featuring the same ergonomic design and precision

“Nyko’s 2009 CES lineup features an exciting mix of announced and yet-to-be-revealed products.
