CrunchGear got some hands-on time with the recently announced Nyko Wing classic controller at a press event in San Francisco, and the prognosis thus far is good. Nyko had demo stations running Super Ghouls and Ghosts, Street Fighter II, and even Mega Man 9 going.

It connects via a little attachment for your wiimote which theyre saying will work with the Wii MotionPlus. When I started it from zero it synced up instantly and with no issues. The unit on Mega Man 9 had some desyncing issues, but the others didnt and Chris, the Nyko guy I was talking to, said that the drivers were still being finalized and they were squashing those desyncs as we speak.

The D-pad is a little slippery, and while I may not be a wizard at Street Fighter, I know how to do a Shoryuken and I was having a little trouble. Nothing that wasnt alleviated by a little practice, but it reminds me of the Dreamcasts D-pad, which could have been better. They say theyre modifying the D-pad to give it a little more texture.
