At first glance, the new Wing Wireless Classic Controller from Nyko looks like it’s everything the original Nintendo Classic Controller should have been. While the Nintendo controller is seldom rounded, the Wing looks much more ergonomically satisfying with its edgier sides and scheme factor. It’s nearly as whether they combined the Nintendo Classic Contoller with a PlayStation DualShock.

Most noteworthy, the Wing will use a wireless dongle system, similar to the Kama Wireless Nunchuk setup where a dongle is place on the Wii remote. that will eliminate the awkward wired connection that the Nintendo Classic Controller uses, but will additionally

require two AAA batteries to work. However, whether you decide to use rechargeable batteries, Nyko has fitted the Wing with a mini-USB port that will allow for convenient charging.
Like the original Nintendo Classic Controller, the Nyko Wing will work with all Virtual Console games, choose Wii games, and the recently added WiiWare library of games.

The Nyko Wing Wireless Classic Controller will ship sometime in October for $30, about $10 more than the Nintendo original. Check CNET in the coming weeks for a full review. For now, go through for some more photos of the Wing….
