A lot of gamers have complained of their systems getting very hot and until now the Wii didn’t have a solution. Nyko has just shipped out the Intercooler for Wii systems to help keep your Wii nice and frosty. Maybe now I can lie my Wii down without fear of it catching fire, although the design of the Intercooler does look a bit spotty with a “made in a sweat shop factory feel”, but let’s see how it does.
From the official press realease:
Los Angeles, CA - October 10, 2007 - Nyko Technologies®, a premier peripherals manufacturer, announced today that it has shipped the Intercooler for Wii to retailers nationwide, giving Wii gamers the ultimate solution for keeping their innovative console running under optimal conditions.
The Intercooler for Wii is the perfect accessory for Wii gamers looking to keep their consoles running in the best possible environment. The Intercooler dramatically increases the rate of hot air flowing out of the vents, resulting in a console that runs at considerably lower temperatures. The Intercooler for Wii clips easily onto the back of the Wii, meaning there is no complicated installation or modification necessary. This patented design also leaves all of the inputs on the back of the console free and easily accessible. For image conscience gamers, the Intercooler for Wii comes in a dĂ©cor that matches the aesthetic of the Wii itself and can be used when the console is in a horizontal or vertical position.“The release of the Intercooler for Wii marks Nyko’s third Intercooler product for this current generation of consoles,” said Chris Arbogast, marketing manager at Nyko Technologies. “Due to popular demand from consumers who were impressed with the original intercooler models for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 we created the Intercooler for Wii which we feel will be as equally praised for its ability to keep the Wii running at appropriate temperature levels.”
The Intercooler for Wii is now available at retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $14.99 and on Nyko’s online store at www.nyko.com/intercoolerwii.

Guys, stay FAR away from the nyko intercoolers, they have bricked a few Xbox360’s because NYKO is really dumb when it comes to making these. Basically, it connects though the power port, which is a really bad idea, since there is a change the voltage could get messed up and it could overload your wii/360.
It’s already happened to 360 users, so I wouldn’t buy this, you should just buy a USB cooler when one comes out.
