Nyko (not Niko Belic from GTA IV) is well known for rolling out only the best accessories that console owners can get. As such, we're introducing today the company's latest additions in the accessories segment for the Nintendo Wii. While Perfect Shot allows a more tactile control and better accuracy, Net Connect provides a high-speed Internet connection, requiring only a Cat5 Ethernet cable and... well, Internet of course.

Perfect Shot

The Perfect Shot is ideal for shooting games on the Wii and is fully compatible with all the software designed for the Wii Blaster, according to Nyko's product description. The gun-controller has been created for one handed operation,

giving it a pistol-like grip. It's compatible with all shooting games. Here's a bunch of general features below:

Features

- Traditional one handed pistol-like grip

- Tactile trigger activates the "B" button

- Aiming sight increases accuracy

- Allows Wii Remote to easily slide into grip and lock into place

- Accessory pass-through port for other attachments like the Nunchuk and Classic Controller

- One hand remains free to operate the Nunchuk or other attachments simultaneously

Net Connect

As for the Net Connect, this item allows gamers to easily connect to any high-speed wired Internet connection, being a USB network-adapter-thing that converts one of the Wii's high speed USB ports into a Cat5 internet jack. All you need to do is plug the Wii into your existing network, and you're all set (no passwords and software installation is needed).

Features

- Creates a high-speed LAN Internet connection for your Nintendo Wii

- Requires no wireless network, security codes or complex setup

- Connects to your existing Internet connection using a standard Cat5 network cable

- USB 2.0 connection supports the Wii at full speed, even faster than Wi-Fi

- Wired Internet connection is more reliable than Wi-Fi

Nyko says the Net Connect is compatible with Wii Opera Browser, Wii Connect 24, Wii Parade, online play of your favorite online enabled titles and other online features of the Wii. So just keep in mind that Perfect Shot and Net Connect are Nyko's latest additions, as far as Wii accessories go, while the company's website is packed with peripherals and stuff, not just for the Wii, but for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 too, so give it a quick look!
