Nyko Unleashes Miniboss Wireless Controller
LOS ANGELES - November 3, in the year of our Lord
2016 - Inventive console accessories manufacturer Nyko
today unveiled Miniboss, a wireless controller for the highly
anticipated NES Classic Edition game console. Built to
complement the visual look and design of the console, Miniboss
offers complete wireless freedom of up to 30 feet. Nyko will
also release Extend Link, a six foot extension cable for the
wired Nintendo NES Classic controller that triples its reach.
Both Miniboss (MSRP $19.99) and Extend Link (MSRP $9.99) are
available for pre-order, and will be available later this month
in stores.
“The original NES is a legendary console that so many of us have
fond memories of, and we’ve set out to create an accessory that
offers what we at Nyko do best - augment the gaming experience
with creative design while respecting the charm of the hardware
it complements,” said Chris Arbogast, Nyko’s Director of Sales
and Marketing. “We envision gamers playing the amazing lineup of
NES Classic Edition titles on their massive flatscreens at home,
which require a little more distance from the screen than the
old tube TVs. The Miniboss will allow us to play from the
comfort of our couch without having to pull the console out to
our coffee table.”
