5 out of 5 stars Awesome new way to play games   December 13, 2006
Namsupak (Morgantown, WV)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

First of all I think the nunchuk is a great controller. Combined with the wiimote its a new innovative way to play games.

Second, please do not use skew these reviews because a marketplace seller is selling the nunchuk above the advertised price. These reviews are meant to attribute a score to the product.



5 out of 5 stars Essential For Many Wii Games   December 23, 2006
Sean A. Rhodes (Aurora, Colorado)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

The Wii Remote itself is a revolution in gaming. The nunchuck attachment, which is essential to play many Wii games (Zelda for instance) is something to add on to that revolution.

The nunchuck is easy to set up. Simply plug it into the base of the Wii remote and you're ready to go. The remote uses sensors. The nunchuck also uses sensors to perform certain actions in games. In Red Steel, for instance, you'll need to use the nunchuck to knock over tables. In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess you'll need to use it to perform a spinning slash attack.

On the other hand, the nunchuck is mostly used in games where you'll find yourself having to move your character around. The nunchuck has a control stick for this reason. It also has a C button and Z button that can be used in many games. These buttons, as well as the motion sensor, are very responsive. The better part? The nunchuck doesn't take batteries. However, it should be noted that the nunchuck attachment will drain the batteries in your wii remote faster.

There is really only one problem that I have with the nunchuck: It's sold separately from the wii remote. While not every wii game needs the nunchuck attachment, a great deal of them do. As of this time, Nintendo is not selling the nunchuck and wii remote in a bundle together. Instead you'll have to buy them separately, and if you buy an additional remote, you may want to buy a nunchuck to go with it. This can be costly.

Still, the nunchuck is a great attachment, and is actually essential to enjoying all of the interative goodness Nintendo's new gaming system provides to gamers.



2 out of 5 stars Trigger works Poorly   May 17, 2007
Nicholas A. Fry (Salt Lake City, UT USA)

I did not realize that this was not a Nintendo made Nunchuck. I hate aftermarket controllers and although this one is licenced by Nintendo and looks identical, the trigger button sticks a little bit and is very slow to reset making it impossible to to push the button in rapidly. I also have an official Nintendo Nunchuck and it works much better. Avoid after market controllers, they never seem to work right.

4 out of 5 stars Wireless with Wires - BOO!   February 17, 2007
trainwrecka (Grapevine, TX USA)
4 out of 7 found this review helpful

Let me start off by saying I love my Nintendo Wii. It is a great system. I am not trying to bash the Wii as a whole here - just this controller. The controller itself works great and feel great in the hands. The one and only problem I have with it is the wire. It really is sad that with all the bluetooth technology built into the Wii and its standard remote this couldn't be wireless as well. Hopefully they remedy the problem quick, because you will notice it becomes a pain playing with the wire from time to time. I give this item 2 stars for the simple fact it has wires. Other than that it would be an easy 5 star product.
