Editorial Reviews:

Contoured to perfectly fit a player's hand, the Nunchuk controller goes an extra step to meet the needs of gamers. It features the same motion-sensing technology enabled in the Wii Remote controller, with an analog stick to assist in character movement. Use it to move your characters and have them perform all kinds of specific actions -- whether it's throwing a pass in football or aiming a ranged weapon in an action game. The ambidextrous nature of the Wii controllers grants accessibility seldom seen in game controllers.


User Comments about the Wii Nunchuk Controller

I ended up letting my son use it as something to play with since I couldn't think of anything else to do with it. The Wii somehow knows when he is shaking that thing, and that useless knob thingy actually becomes useful. The chain is made of plastic, and is way too long. It's not balanced, there is nothing to hold when you go to hit somebody with it, and I don't think that plastic cable would hold up very long.It turns out that the plastic cable plugs into a Wii remote control. Still, it's a far cry from a real nunchuck. My son told me that he thought the everybody with a Wii should get one.


I found out that some games are better suited to this than they are to the remote control alone, and the action of this thing fits in smoothly with playing the game. It had a low price, so I went for it. I decided to buy this Wii Nunchuk because my son said he wanted one. Plus, you get only one side. My daughter says it doesn't deserve 5 stars because they should have included one with every remote, but I couldn't get either of the kids to name anything they don't like about it when using it. When I got it, I noticed that the nunchuck is made of plastic and has this knob-like button thing on it that sticks out.


So I figured I shouldn't be so hard on the product since kids can really have fun with it.From what I gather from my son, it adds value to the game and makes playing with the Wii more enjoyable. Go figure.So I'd have to say that the bottom line is that this is pretty useless for real martial arts, but is a "must have" item for playing some games. To my surprise, he likes it. The remote is way out of balance with their nunchuck, and with that extra long cord, it's useless in a fight, or even for practice. I can't see how this could ever be of use in a fight. I'd recommend going to a good martial arts store and getting a traditional pair made of wood with a good steel chain.


I decided to rate the thing based just on the game part, because for martial arts, I'd have to give it zero stars.


Everyone knows why the Nintendo Wii is so different and that is mostly due to having to stand up and play and not just sit on the couch. I don't use the nunchuk very often, but when you do it's a lot different using both hands to play a boxing game and it's pretty realistic to throw punches with both hands, cause that's the way boxing games should be played.



I like the nunchuk controller because it gives you more optons for buttons and helps keep you active using both arms.



Nice one to use but it would be better if we can get it for lower price



I needed it for my wii so I bought it. I can't say I use it often but when I do it works well.
