last year at ces, nyko unveiled the wand, its take on nintendo's wiimote. this year, the peripheral maker's big item is ... abracadabra ... the wand -- with one exciting addition! the $40 wand+ is a single, self-contained unit that includes motionplus compatibility. the device still supports the crazy trans-port stuff, like the original wand does, which means that wiimote buttons can be automatically remapped to buttons on other nyko accessories, including its gun controller.

nyko has also introduced two variants of its cookie-inspiring charge base ic remote charger: a version of the original in black and a new one that can accommodate four wiimotes.

for ps3, the company has designed a new version of its intercooler made to bulk up sony's slim model, and the media hub slim, a combination of a tiny remote control and a usb hub.

the wand and charge base quad ic are due in stores this march. the intercooler will be available next month for $19.99, and the media hub slim will retail for $19.99 when it's released in april.
