Some of us don’t mind a few cables, so long as they’re not running from our game system to our hands anymore. Others are a little further into the future and want wireless everything: controllers, HDMI, and electricity. For those of you, Nyko’s getting you one step closer!

The new “Wing” will be available in October. You’ll be able to use what’s essentially a wireless Classic Controller up to 10 feet away from the Wii Remote you’re using to relay the signal. It also comes with a USB cable to charge your batteries if you don’t want to keep buying new AAAs.

Maybe after this we’ll get a classic-type controller with the Wii Remote’s transmitting ability built into one unit? That would be amazing. Until then, you can pick up the Nyko Wing in October for $29.99, and build the papercraft model for free.

For the environmentally conscious, the Wing comes equipped with a USB port and cable for easy charging of rechargeable batteries (not included) and it boasts a rugged, durable build.

“As more and more games utilizing the classic controller scheme become available through the Virtual Console and WiiWare Channels, we wanted to offer a step up to what was currently available,” said Chris Arbogast, Director of Marketing at Nyko Technologies. “With the new Wing controller, we’re providing gamers with old-school gaming compatibility, combined with modern ergonomics and wireless technology.
