Nyko’s Wii Remote Charging Station

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

The Nyko Wii Charge Station is probably one of the best accessories you can pick up for your Wii. Especially if you play your Wii a lot. It takes about 3-4 hours to charge the battery to full charge (from the time its completely dead). The only thing I noticed is that the specifications don’t really state how long the battery life is. So, I decided to do a few test runs and have found that the average lifespan of the battery while playing strictly Super Mario Galaxy is 17 hours and 24 minutes. In my opinion, that’s really good, considering that SMG uses not only the Nunchuck accessory, but also uses the pointer feature of the Wii remote, which drains a lot more power in combination with the nunchuck. Without the nunchuck accessory (and pointing), while playing Excite Truck, the battery life lasted about 50 hours. Not bad at all! Definitely worth a purchase, as it pays for itself after only a few charge cycles.

New Year, New Beginnings

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

First of all, a happy belated new year to all! I would have posted earlier but I didn’t have anything to write about… and still don’t to be honest :) . This is an extremely late post, at 3:50AM, but I’m not really too tired. College starts back up on Monday so I’m not sure how that will affect my posting.. it will probably stay the same but you never know I may post a little bit more. I’m hoping that this semester will be more successful for me socially then the past few ones have been, and hope that my grades aren’t affected by it (unless its for the better!!). Alright, that’s it for now.. nothing too major but enough to hold me over until next time.
