5 out of 5 stars Great!   December 13, 2006

That being said, the nunchuck is a fantastic accessory and allows a whole new way to play games. Never thought I'd dig it but I've had a ton of fun playing Wii Sports and Zelda using the nunchuck. Well made and comfortable in my hand, it's now indispensable when I play on the Wii.

If you can find one for retail price, be sure to get one. If not, wait until supply has caught up with demand.



3 out of 5 stars Nintendo needs to work on the nunchuck a bit more   December 3, 2006

don't get me wrong, i love this thing. the fealing is great and it's sleek. but it's a little slow when i play. for instance, i was playing the new Zelda game. it told me in order to do a spin attack, i had to shake the nunchuck. when i did it, i had to wait 1.5 seconds till link (the maIN character) actually did the spin atack. i think nintendo need to fix this problem


4 out of 5 stars Great, but overpriced.   November 22, 2006

I love the nunchuck. It really adds much to the gaming experience. You can use it like a reel for fishing, especially in the new Twilight Princess. The analog stick is used to control movements. In Wii Boxing, you use it for your weak arm to throw punches. It has its own motions sensors. I love the nunchuck. The only problem is that it is overpriced. When you have to buy the Wiimote for $40, it its a little steep to buy a nunchuck for another $20, especially since most games will require it.

This thing is great. I hate analog controllers, but this one actually works well for me! It is perfectly designed.


5 out of 5 stars Great Add-On for two handed games   November 19, 2006

In martial arts, nunchucks are a pair of short wood rods connected with a chain that ninjas whirl around their bodies :) With the Wii, the nunchuck is a single controller held in your off hand.

The nunchuck is not the main controller unit for the Wii. The Wii primarily uses the Wii Remote, shaped like a TV remote, for its functionality. The Nunchuck is for use in the "other hand" (i.e. your left hand if you're right handed) just for a few games. It plus into the bottom end of the Wii Remote with a cable that's about 2 1/2 feet long. Most of the time, you leave it unplugged and sitting by the console.

For example, in the sports pack that comes with the Wii, only one of the five games uses the nunchuck. This is the boxing game. You use the nunchuck to hit with your off hand, just as you use the Wii remote to punch and jab with your primary hand.

The nunchuck has the same motion sensing technology as the Wii remote does, so that you can move your hand around and the game knows what you are doing. The buttons are much simpler - there is a Z big trigger button, a smaller C trigger button above it, and then a joystick up on top. For some games, no buttons are used at all.

The cable length is designed so you don't trip yourself with it :) It's long enough that if you held your hands apart, you could easily ride even a wide-handled bike. It's not long enough that you could put both arms straight out to the left and right, though. I've never had any problems with the cable length hindering me. None of the games require you to have your hands far apart. In boxing, for example, your hands are always near each other and there's plenty of cable length even when you're jabbing.

The nunchuck doesn't need its own power - it plugs into the Wii remote controller when it's in use. So there's no worry about charging up or batteries.

I would definitely have at least one functional nunchuck for my Wii, and if you're really into multiplayer two-handed games like boxing matches, then having two would be important. However, for most gamers, one will probably suffice!
