The Pistol Grip is integrated with a port that lets you connect additional accessories. The Wand Action Pak is priced at $49.99 and will be available in June.
The Wand Core Pak: It includes one Wand controller and one Wired Kama with Rumble and is a great starter set for a Wii gamer. The Wired Kama with Rumble is incorporated with full vibration feedback support and connects to the Wand through a 4-foot cord.

Featuring similar design and form factor like the previous Wireless Kama, the new controller ensures comfortable grip. The Wand Core Pak will hit the shelves by June at $49.99.
