Nyko's Wing Classic Wii Controller
Nyko's new Virtual Console controller, the Wing wireless classic controller, is now on sale for the suggested price of $29.99. In addition to sporting a more classic look (and some color), the Wing runs for about 30 hours on two AAA batteries and/or batteries that are rechargable via a Mini USB port.
The main selling point here, as far as I can tell, seems to be a more adult-sized grip, since the Wing is a bit plumper with an ergonomic design.
I've definitely been guilty of avoiding VC games because of a lack of a man-sized controller, so I'm hoping the Wing fills out my palm better than my stock first-party classic controller. F-Zero ain't gonna race itself!
