Well, Nyko's lost it

by Justin McElroy { Jun 2nd 2009 at 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.

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

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

R (XBL: Esoteric Lord) @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:08AM

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.

R (XBL: Esoteric Lord) @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:09AM

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.

devilsei @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:12AM

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...

sifer2400 @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:17AM

lol on the wily wonka thing lolll

Damian @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:08AM

Someone needs to fire the designer at Nyko.

Temidien @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:09AM

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

Aero @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:09AM

Oh what the hell

cuteSAVAGE @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:09AM

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

Storm Eagle @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:09AM

Best Headline Ever.

mcf @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:09AM

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

Storm Eagle @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:09AM

Confirmed: Peeping Tom DS

Alex @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:32PM

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

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

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

ChronicTC7 @ Jun 2nd 2009 7:36PM

uncle jesse @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:13AM

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

Wardo @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:17AM

Wow... just wow.

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

Blaggers @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:22AM

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

mercutio7576 @ Jun 2nd 2009 6:47PM

Hahahahaha what the fuck is this?

traceur_ryuk_shinigami @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:38AM

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

XBL: Burritoclock @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:00PM

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!!!

sam @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:08PM

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...
