Gaming accessories are raining at E3 show in US. MadCatz too has made its presence in the event launching new accessories, most of which are designed especially to suit the Wii U gaming console. They have not given all details on the features, availability and pricing of all accessories.

The announced accessories include charging docks to even TRITTON Kunai headset. Another notable accessory in the line up is a FlipCover. The TRITTON Kunai headset which is designed to specifically for Wii U will offer enhanced audio experience for intense Nintendo sessions. These headsets will be made available in black and white colour choices. The leathery covering on the inside of the ear cups give good comfort for long time usage and also gives a comfy fit.

The overall size of the ear cups appear to be too snug and you can feel free to remove the microphone from the kit to make this a regular accessory. There are options to remove the inline control as well. Even though the primary goal is to make it suitable for Wii console, the accessory can work comfortably with other consoles as well like PlayStation Vita, 3DS, and PS3 as well.

The PowerUp ChargeDocks is the next notable accessory among the line up. This is really convenient in charging the gaming pads as well as remote controllers. The product has not reached the final design. As per the company sources, the charge docks will be made out of metal and we can see some tilt action on the GamePad for rest and for easy usage of stylus.

There will be a battery pack attached to the station with magnetic contacts. The idea put forward by MadCatz is that if you are purchasing both these docks, then it can be placed back to back and the gaming console in middle to make the overall package quite interesting and useful.

The FlipStand serves the use of a smart cover and it protects the precious touch screen of the gaming console. There is no word on the exact availability of these gaming accessories and the price package. We can wait some more time for more detailed news.
