Xboxic » Four new Nyko accessories including wireless guitar

"Here is some great news for Xbox 360 owners, especially those who also own a copy of Guitar Hero II. When the game was released, many were disappointed by the fact that the guitar that they received when they purchased the game wasn’t wireless, and that nor were there any plans for a wireless version of the guitar. Now however, this has changed as Nyko has stepped up and is developing four new Xbox 360 accessories and one of these is, of course, a wireless guitar.
FrontMan Wireless Guitar for Xbox 360

Firstly and most importantly, the wireless guitar. The FrontMan Wireless Guitar is being developed for the Xbox 360 by Nyko. As of yet, there is no definite release date or price for this, but we do have a little bit of information on it. We know that it will come with three pick guards and stickers that can be used to customize your pick guards. But that is the not so interesting information.

The interesting information is that the FrontMan Wireless Guitar will allow you to play Guitar Hero II up to 25 feet away from your Xbox 360 console. Some bad news, however, is that you will need to use three AA batteries to operate this. However, Nyko says that these three AA batteries will give you up to 80 hours of gameplay. Some good news is that this guitar is compatible with the original Guitar Hero II wired guitar, allowing you to use both at the same time.

At the moment, that is all we know about the FrontMan Wireless Guitar. However, Nyko has also announced HD-Link, a set of Component audio and video cables. As well as that, Nyko will be releasing a Charge Station that comes with two battery packs and plugs into your wall socket to charge them. Finally, they have announced the IntercoolerEX. This is a cooler to keep your Xbox 360 cool and is compatible with the wireless adapter.

The FrontMan Wireless Guitar is much more interesting then the other Nyko accessories considering that Nyko is the first to release such a guitar for the Xbox 360. Guitar Hero II fans should keep an eye out for word on a release date and price for this, and we will be sure to keep you up to date on all the latest information regarding this in the future.
