Well, Nyko's lost it

by Justin McElroy on Jun 2nd 2009 11:02AM

Guys, Nyko just sent over its line-up for E3 and well, unless they're giving us a little E3 humor (and trust us, we'd appreciate it) the entirety of the company is hopped up on goofballs. More than just out of ideas, Nyko seems to have sacrificed other good ideas on some sort of altar.

The Charge Grip Flex for the PSP we get, it's a grip that charges. But the Type Pad Pro, a keyboard addition for the Nyko Wand? Nutty. And please, let's all just bask in the glow of the Zoom Case, a protective case for the DSi with a 8x zoom built in: You know, for all the serious photography you're doing with the DSi.

See what we mean? Lost it.

The fuck?!

Even dumber than the iphone lens, I didn't think that was possible...

with that zoom grip, i guess i can finally start up that wedding photography business i've been meaning to do

lol thats got to be a sick/cruel joke as if Nintendo fans didnt have enough gay peripherals, wii condom lol wii zaper axe attach ons lol and many many more

I dunno man, I last longer when I use a condom on my wii.

I feel sorry for the people that were forced to develop this by some suit. I can see them thinking the whole time "the fuck am I doing making something so stupid."

If you work for nyko, time to bail out of a sinking ship.

Really need an edit button...

To anyone at Nyko possibly reading this: an 8x zoom lens doesnt do jack for a crappy 0.3 megapixel camera.

don't you see?! They are growing in a way we'll never understand!

They are becoming the Willy Wonka of tech devices! Clever!

that... or they took waaaaaay too much acid and watched the "Charlie and the chocolate factory" and thought they wanted a piece of that...

lol on the wily wonka thing lolll

Someone needs to fire the designer at Nyko.

HAS to be a gag. No exec is this suicidal.

Oh what the hell

That PSP grip is pathetic. Looks like nyko just went to their buddy at the weld shop to make it.

Best Headline Ever.

Even though this shit is absolutely ridiculous, 20 years from now these sorts of products will be GOLD to collectors.

Confirmed: Peeping Tom DS

Exactly what I thought.
This, along with Peter Molyneux's Milo...

This is turning out to be a pretty perverse E3...

Hi, it's Vince with the Zoom Case.

Stop having boring pictures, stop having a boring life.

You gettin this camera guy?

INSERT LOLWUT PEAR HERE.

Seriously. What?

Vince from Shamwow & slapchop guys. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_Offer

You're gonna love my zoom.

HI. BILLY MAYES HERE WITH THE NEW MADCATZ EXTENDOCAMERA.
**ITS ON**

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWRyj5cHIQA

Rap Chop!

ShamPOW!

Epic win mates!

Are you serious?!...Is he serious?!

Is that a DSi with the nyko camera zoom in your pocket? Or are you just happy to see me.

haha erection joke!

This looks like the Island of Dr. Moreau or something.

Wow... just wow.

"Is that a zoom lens in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

That DS looks like it's in S&M get-up.

Nintendo DS&M?

WTF

Really now. this too much lol

I cannot stop laughing at that pic!

Hahahahaha what the fuck is this?

The sad thing is, someone, some crazy soul out there will buy this.

Yes, apparently people must have bought the equally stupid iPhone lens, convincing nyko there is a market for huge lenses on crappy cameras...

I mean... LOOK AT THIS THING!!!

SMH

that is AWESOME. I'm kind of tempted to buy one ironically. (Er, not that I have a DSi, but I could pick one of those up too.)

@R: Actually if the zoom lens is optically good then it will be just as effective on a 0.3MP camera as it would be on any other camera. The result will still produce shitty images (that look fine only as long as you view them on the DS screen), but then it did before, so what's a surprise? Of course, if they screw it up, then it will reduce the quality of images even further, but who cares, it's a DSi...

Sam Fisher, is that you?

I'd buy it, just to see how the hell that thing is actually supposed to work. Last time I checked, Nyko is definitely NOT an optics company....

And by I'd buy it, I mean, if it was on clearance for like 4 bucks or something.

Love it!
I hope it isnt a joke as this would be a great gimmick addition to pull out and show off.
More for pure useless-ness then useFUL-ness

Wow....wtf? Is this real? The DSi camera takes crappy pics to begin with.

I only use Carl Zeiss lenses on my VGA cameras, thank you. Also that Wiimote abortion is just terrifying. It doesn't add a keyboard functionality to the wii remote, it actively prevents the proper operation of both the controller AND a keyboard.

I dunno... I have one of the fugly, but oddly more comfortable, Wand controllers and for the $20 price tag I might just check out that keyboard.

If anything it'll be good for a laugh in 10 years. :-)

im expecting some kind of connect the stars galaxy game with this add-on
asteroids:the next generation come on nintendo use your bright minds
