[CES 2013] So you got yourself a Nintendo Wii U as a Christmas present, and we can only assume that you’re probably in the market for some accessories that will enhance your gaming experience. The good news is that if you are, gaming peripheral manufacturer, Nyko, has announced that they will be showing off several new Wii U accessories as part of their CES 2013 lineup. (more…)

In the past few years, Nyko‘s transformed from a third-party peripheral manufacturer of poor repute to one many gamers depend on for quality products. Devices like the Nintendo Wii Charge Station and the 3DS Power Pak+ went a long way in earning good will, and the latest slew of add-ons continues the company’s recent tradition. Nyko’s Charge Station U ($34.99) bolsters the standard Wii U GamePad charge stand with space for two plain Wii controllers (and includes rechargeable batteries for said Wii controllers), and its Pro Commander ($34.99) takes Nintendo’s Pro Controller and swaps the awkward analog stick placement for a more traditional feel (read: like an Xbox 360 controller).

While the former adds a $15 premium to Nintendo’s first-party charging stand, it also adds the ability to charge your Wii controllers at the same time (as well as giving them rechargeable batteries); the Pro Commander is not only a perfectly capable controller, it also shaves $15 off of Nintendo’s $50 asking price for the first-party Pro Controller. In so many words, if you buy both of these items, you’ll be spending roughly the same amount as if you had bought Nintendo’s first-party equivalents, only you get more functionality. We’ll have our first chance to get hands-on with both devices, as well as the previously announced UBoost, Charge Base Pro, and Power Stand, this week as CES 2013 rages on. You’ll be able to get your hands-on with all five starting this February when they arrive at retailers nationwide.

[CES 2013] If you’re interested in picking up a new Windows 8 tablet, Gigabyte has announced two new tablets at CES 2013 – the S1185 designed for the average Joe, and the S1082 which has been designed for the not-so-average Joe, or rather the more business minded user. Starting with the S1185: this Windows 8 tablet will be powered by a 3^rd generation Intel Core processor with a Full HD IPS display, with Gigabyte claiming that this tablet will deliver “ultimate performance” and a “wonderful user experience”. It will feature standard VGA and HDMI ports, a magnetically attached keyboard kit, Gigabyte mouse options, Optical Finger Navigation for PC mode usage, and dual cameras.

Next up is the S1082 which Gigabyte claims is perfect for productivity. The S1082 will be more or less the same as the S1185, with the main difference being that it will come with cellular connectivity so you don’t have to rely on WiFi all the time. It will also come in either a 500GB HDD version that will allow you to store more files, or an SSD version that will offer a “speedy user experience”. No word on pricing or availability just yet, but with all the Windows 8 competition going around, will Gigabyte be able to make a dent?
