Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

The Wii Nunchuk controller is a secondary controller that adds even more innovation to the next generation of gaming, and does it all with less physical movement.

Used in conjunction with the standard Wii remote, certain games need the Nunchuk controller for additional control options. Contoured perfectly to fit a player's hand,


The Wii Nunchuk (left) connects directly to the Wii remote. View larger.
the Nunchuk controller builds on the simplicity of the Wii Remote controller. The Nunchuk contains the same three-axis motion sensor found in the Wii Remote, but also includes an analog stick, and two buttons to help assist in character movement.

Many games will allow you to control your character's movement with the Nunchuk in your left hand, while your right hand is free to execute the action movements with the Wii Remote. For example, the Nunchuk is particularly useful for games like Wii Boxing. You can use the Nunchuk to punch with your weaker hand, while you use the Wii remote to punch and jab with your predominant hand.



Take the fun to the next level with two-handed control of your games. View larger.
In first-person shooters, the Nunchuk controller carries the burden of movement, freeing you to aim and fire using a more natural motion with the Wii Remote. In a football game, you can make your quarterback elusive with the Nunchuk controller while you search for an open receiver to throw to using the Wii Remote. Serious gamers may even want to use two Nunchuk controllers to gain a fierce competitive edge.

Because the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers are only relatively dependent on each other, players are free to hold them in whichever hand is most comfortable. Perfectly suitable for either right or left-hand use, the Wii Nunchuk controller grants accessibility not often seen in previous game controllers.

Also, the Nunchuk controller doesn't need its own power--it plugs into the Wii Remote controller when it's in use. So there's no need to worry about charging or replacing expensive batteries.

Adding a Nunchuk to your Wii system will definitely help you open the doors to the next level of gaming, and seriously step up performance. Just be careful not to knock out your significant other, or bruise the dog, severely, while using one, or two Nunchuk controllers.

Manufacturer's Description

Connect the Nunchuk controller to the Wii Remote and get ready. The Nunchuk controller and the accelerometer contained within it are the next leap in gaming. In first-person shooters, the controller carries the burden of movement, freeing you to aim and fire using a more natural motion with the Wii Remote. In a football game, you can make your quarterback elusive with the Nunchuk controller while you look for an open receiver to throw to using the Wii Remote.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice accessory - not needed for all games, 11 Jan 2007
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Nintendo Nunchuk Controller Add-On (Wii) (Video Game)
The Wii Nunchuk (this is the official spelling!) is used in a few games. Most often, it's used in first-person perspective games as a joystick to control your movement, while the Wii Remote is controlling your view.
As well as the joystick and 2 buttons, it also has motion-sensing capabilities, so you can use it (for example) in Wii boxing to represent your right hand (or left hand if you are left-handed) . In Red Steel, and Zelda, you use both the joystick and motion.
However, since you get one Nunchuk with the Wii, it's really only worth purchasing this if you want to use it for multiplayer games that require it (Wii Boxing in Wii Sports, Red Steel, Rayman Ravin' Rabbids, etc).

The Nunchuk won't work without a Remote, and is attached to it via a wire, which mostly stays out of the way.

It's worth buying, but only if you know you have a game that requires it...

5.0 out of 5 stars If you dont need one, Dont buy one, 9 July 2007
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Nintendo Nunchuk Controller Add-On (Wii) (Video Game)
To the people moaning about Nintendo not selling the Wiimote and the Nunchuck together, You dont need them both to play every game. If you just want to play golf or tennis with someone you dont need a nunchuck! I have bought one as I am planning on fighting the Mrs in boxing and for that it is essential! I dont even know of another game i would need it for, I've bought it purley and simply for the boxing.

If like me you just want to play boxing with your mates then buy it. If not, dont worry about it and spend your £15 on something else!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential purchase, 6 Jan 2007

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Nintendo Nunchuk Controller Add-On (Wii) (Video Game)
I was lucky enough to get hold of a Nunchuck a couple of weeks ago when Amazon had some stock.

Personally I think it's an essential purchase, if only so you can play 2 player boxing. There's nothing better than having a good fight with your mates, especially when you knock them out in the first round.

Only time will tell how many multiplayer games will take advantage of the Nunchuck, but I'm pretty sure a large number will. It offers a couple of extra buttons, the analogue stick and the motion sensitivity.

My only complaint is that you have to plug it into the remote and the wire can get in the way. But having the wire does mean it doesn't require any batteries so there is an advantage.
