Accessories specialists Pinpoint Consumer Electronics has announced two new products in time for the busy final quarter of the year.
Both under the Nyko label, the Metal Pedal and Wii Wand will be released in stores over the coming months.
The Metal Pedal is compatible with all drum controllers for Rock Band and Guitar Hero: World Tour. The metal plating on top makes the pedal particularly durable, while rubber feet keeps the pedal firmly in place. It also features a unique hard rock design, which Nyko says is ‘reminiscent of rock icons past and present’.
Also announced is the Wii Wand, Pinpoint’s own version of the Wii Remote controller.
It is compatible with a range of other Nyko products, including the Pistol Grip, Rumble Kama and Type-Pad.
The initial reaction to these new lines from retailers has been overwhelmingly positive and already we have some really strong sales figures and placement,” said product development manager Tom Armstrong.
