Power A set to release "Mini Wii remote" package

New MiniRemoteTM and MiniChukTM Put Big Game Play in a Smaller Package
Los Angeles, CA- June 14, 2010 (E3 EXPO, Booth #5312) - POWER A, the retail consumer products brand of Bensussen Deutsch & Associates, Inc., (BDA), today announced the launch of its Pro Pack Mini, a MiniRemoteTM and MiniChukTM, for WiiTM. The first of its kind, the Pro Pack Mini offers the same functionality as the Nintendo WiiTM Remote and Nunchuk, in a sleek, miniature size ergonomically designed to provide a more comfortable grip for players of all ages. POWER A will be showcasing the new controller, along with introducing additional video game accessories, at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles from June 15-17.
Including the MiniRemoteTM that is 35% smaller than the original WiiTM Remote, the Pro Pack Mini features:
· MotionPlusTM compatibility
· Contoured surfaces providing a natural grasp for more precise handling and eliminating edge pressure points during extended play
· A silky, soft touch finish for a no slip grip that doesn't require a glove
· Larger A, 1 and 2 buttons for overall increased accuracy and enhanced game play
· Glowing main control buttons for anytime use in any environment
· A variety of color options including Black, Purple, Pink and Teal
The Pro Pack Mini will have a MSRP of $49.99 and will be in all key retailers beginning in August 2010.
"Players will immediately enjoy the sleek feel and handling of the MiniRemoteTM and MiniChukTM," said Eric Bensussen, president of POWER A and BDA. "While the smaller devices work well for children with smaller hands, they really provide a more comfortable grip for kids and adults, extending game time, control and enjoyment."

With this announced one day before Nintendo's E3 presentation, it makes me think that Nintendo themselves may have this planned for the Wii as well. There was that patent filed a few months ago from Nintendo that showed them incorporating more gyroscopes into a controller that looked just like a normal Wii remote; so we'll see more tomorrow. This looks like a natural progression of the Wii remote design, but of course I'm more excited at what else they are going to unveil. This should be a huge show!
