Yes, Hyperkin just released a “Hyper Strummer” Guitar Controller…for Wii
You’re forgiven for reading this headline and thinking it’s 2007. I’m here to reaffirm that it’s actually 2025, and this is the year that Hyperkin has decided to release a new round of Guitar Hero controllers…for the Wii.
Hyperkin has opened pre-orders for their Hyper Strummer Guitar for Wii, which they say “allows you to shred mercilessly on any track with our quick action fret buttons, pushing your skills to their limit.” This guitar is said to feature a durable, tactile strum bar and realistic, metal whammy bar.
Just as you’d expect, the Hyper Strummer works wirelessly through the Wii remote. Just pop your remote into the back of the guitar, no additional power needed. If you’ve been looking for a replacement guitar, you can snag yours through Amazon for $77 here.
Please note that while Hyperkin claims this is an “updated model” of their old Wii guitar controller, some people claim it’s nothing more than a rebrand of their Xtreme Guitar 2. Hyperkin hasn’t detailed the changes made in this 2025 updated model, but we’ll try to get the specifics for you.
