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 
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...

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential purchase, 6 Jan 2007
By Stephen Froude "sfroude" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Accessory, 1 Jan 2007
By Mr. S. Jabbal "Sunny" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
The Wii Nunchuck is a must have accessory for any wii gamer. Although the nintendo wii comes with one wiimote and nunchuck, if you want to play any game in multiplayer, it will be necessary to purchase another wiimote as well as a nunchuck to enjoy the game fully. In fact, most games require the nunchuck to play and it is not optional to play with just the wiimote.

I can find no reason to give this device such a poor review, nintendo tries to include games from all backgrounds and with the wii, all age groups. Seeing older relatives get involved in games is great fun, without such revolutionary controls they would not be so interested.

The nunchuck is simple to move, it consists a basic 4 way motion sensor and analogue control stick alongside a trigger button and a c button, both easily operable by ones thumb and forefinger. In my opinion it is easier to use than a standard controller especially if you have joint problems such as arthritis.

In summary Nintendo has tried very hard to build an inclusive controller, and even though for some it may not be ideal, i think it strikes the best balance, between inclusion and functionality.
