Nyko, the maker of countless gaming peripherals - some you need and some that are a waste of money - have released details and pics of their latest DS and Wii accessories. I can see the Type Pad being useful, especially if you have tons of Animal Crossing friends that you meet up with (chatting using the remote is laborious). I’m not sold on the Zoom Case and lens. It looks bulky and awkward. I also have a digital camera with much better specs.
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.
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.

I didn’t think they could make that controller any uglier but Nyko true to form proves me wrong once again.It looks like a Jaguar pad that went anorexic then bleached its skin.Fugly.
Now that zoom lens while clunky looking looks to be the winner here from Nyko.I’m not sure how many people will buy it but it oozes quality.
I think it would look best on the black DSi, as it makes it look less of a toy.
