Nyko at E3 Type Pad Pro, SpeakerCom, Charger Grip, and Zoom Case Unveiled at Show

nyko accessoriesLeading gaming peripherals manufacturer, Nyko Technologies, today announced the upcoming product line-up to be showcased this week at E3, taking place June 2–4. The line-up includes innovative accessories for Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DSi, Xbox 360, and PSP.

“Nyko has been a participant of E3 for 10 straight years and we’re excited to be using the show as the launching pad for our 2009 products,” said Chris Arbogast, Director of Marketing at Nyko Technologies. “We have been hard at work developing new patent pending technologies like Trans-Port that we feel add a unique gameplay experience that is not available elsewhere.”

Nyko is exhibiting in the West Hall, booth No4512.

Type Pad Pro for Wii
The ergonomic wireless keypad for Wii features Nyko’s Trans-Port Technology allowing players to control, type, and browse with ease. Nyko’s Type Pad Pro cradles either the Nyko Wand or Wii Remote, allowing for pointer functionality while utilizing the full QWERTY Keyboard to chat, type, search and more. The Type Pad Pro communicates with the Wii wirelessly up to 25 feet away using a USB dongle and is fully compatible with applications that utilize keyboard functionality like the Opera® Browser and Wii friend messaging. When used with the Wand Wireless Controller, Trans-Port Technology allows for both the A and B buttons to be replicated directly on the Type Pad Pro for smoother and easier scrolling, zooming and clicking while browsing your favorite web sites.

SpeakerCom 360
Xbox 360 gamers can now customize how they communicate over Xbox Live® with SpeakerCom 360, which provides the choice to talk and listen over a loud speaker or through a traditional headset, giving players two communication options in one device. In Headset mode, the SpeakerCom provides a comfortable, stereo, in-ear solution. When switched over to the Loud Speaker mode the self-muting microphone and volume-controlled speaker are activated so everyone in the room can hear and participate via one headset. The patent pending design allows for easy switching between both headset and loud speaker mode.

Zoom Case for Nintendo DSi
Nyko’s Zoom Case, a protective case with an 8x zoom lens for the DSi, significantly magnifies the handheld’s external camera. The Zoom Case wraps around the DSi, protecting it from bumps and scratches while the removable 8x optical zoom lens allows for closer, clearer shots from a greater distance. The zoom lens easily locks onto the Zoom Case, and when not in use can be safely stored in its own hard case for easy travel. The case’s textured grip provides a more comfortable hold for extended gameplay sessions.

Charge Grip Flex
A new level of comfort awaits the PSP 2000 and 3000 series with Nyko’s Charge Grip Flex with built-in rechargeable battery. The Charge Grip Flex provides 1.5 times more play time and a more familiar, customizable grip. With a sleek black look that complements the PSP, the Charge Grip Flex features a unique fold-out, lightweight design making it ideal for travel.

James Cameron’s Avatar - The Game made a surprise E3 appearance during Ubisoft’s Press Conference

E3 2009 gamezplay logoInvitation Only Game Demos To Be Shown at E3 in Stunning 3D On a Panasonic 103" 3D Full HD Plasma Home Theater

New product details for James Cameron's Avatar: The Game. Making a surprise appearance during Ubisoft's Press Conference earlier in the day, James Cameron introduced the first details for Avatar: The Game along with Yannis Mallat, CEO of Ubisoft Montreal.

The game will take you deep into the heart of Pandora, an alien planet that is beyond imagination. Gamers will encounter the Na'vi, Pandora's indigenous people and discover creatures and other wildlife the likes of which have never been seen in the world of video games before. When conflict erupts between the RDA Corporation, a space-faring consortium
in search of valuable resources, and the Na'vi, players will find themselves thrust into a fight for the heart of a planet and the fate of a civilization.

"Technically, we have a lot in common with Ubisoft and the game world," said Cameron during the press conference. "We utilized highly sophisticated technologies in creating Avatar so, when it came to choosing a game company, I wanted a partner that would not only be inspired creatively by the world of Avatar but would have the capacity to keep up with the challenging demands of its technological needs.
Ubisoft was that company."

James Cameron's Avatar: The Game will ship this December 2009 for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system, the Wii home video game system from Nintendo, the Nintendo DS system, the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system and the PC.

James Cameron's Avatar: The Game will be shown to select media in stunning stereoscopic 3D at Ubisoft's booth (South Hall, Booth No1022) during E3 June 2-4, 2009. Thanks to Panasonic, Ubisoft will be showing James Cameron's Avatar: The Game using Panasonic's 3D Full HD Plasma Home Theater System, enabling the viewing of true-to-life 3D Full 1080p HD images by using a specially configured Panasonic 103-inch Plasma HDTV, capable of distributing full High Definition (1920 x 1080
pixels) images separately to the left eye and right eye of the viewer.
With it, you are no longer just playing a game; you are experiencing all Pandora has to offer.
