NYKO READY TO RUMBLE
August 17, 2000

The Viper2 is the first and only third-party controller for PlayStation with vibration function and dual analog sticks to be licensed in North America. It received licensing status from Sony earlier this year. The SCEA license indicates compatibility with PlayStation hardware.

The NYKO Viper2 controller is equipped with dual vibration motors. The Viper2 provides special functions such as independent turbo, steering wheel simulation mode, and oversized ergonomics.

"This license represents another significant milestone for NYKO," said Robert Rienick, NYKO vice president sales and marketing. "We are proud to have met SCEA's strict testing standards. Our engineering effort to earn this new license over the past two years reinforces our commitment to the PlayStation consumer. NYKO considers it an honor to be the first to license this type of controller from Sony Computer Entertainment America."

The Viper2 is available in five assorted translucent colors for $24.95.
