Wii Remote's Little Brother

The Wii Nunchuk is a very solid piece of hardware. It might seem cheap and flimsy at first glance, but the analog stick is very well done. You can tell it's a quality piece because the stick snaps back to the middle instantly and fluidly upon release. I've used quite a few analog sticks in my time and this one really takes the cake. Very much unlike the original N64 analogs that lost their snap after a while. The nunchuk also features the revolutionary accelerometer technology that you can also find in it's bigger brother the Wii Remote. So when you're boxing in Wii sports you've got control of both fists. For only $20 you get a lot of bang for your buck.

The only problem is it doesn't have a rumble feature. Now that would have been cool, but it would have probably sucked the batteries from the remote much quicker. The nunchuk features two buttons, the Z trigger and the C button. In Zelda the C is used to toggle between camera mode and movement mode. And of course Z is for  more

Fun necessity for Wii Games

This is an essential accessory for those who want to take full advantage of the Wii gaming system. Boxing is fun with someone you love, but it also serves as a good aerobic workout for you using this device. Other reviews have done a very good job explaining the tricks for using this, so I will just comment that you need to get at least 2 of these (buy an extra) if you get the system. Four if you are getting a full sytem.

A must have for the Wii mote

You'll need a wii mote to use this and many games will require you to have it in order to play. It uses the batteries from your wii mote. It can detect motion like the wii mote but you can't point at the screen with it. I t has an analog stick and two buttons. The only cons are that it does not vibrate, you can't click the analog stick like the xbox 360 controller, seems overpriced, and it is not included with the wii mote.

Nothing Bad, a good controller.....

The Wii Nunchuck Controller is an attachment to the Main Wii Controller which is sold seperatly. Theres really nothing much to this except you most likely need this for most games that are out right. I just wish they didn't have to sell this seperatley from the main Wii COntroller because the Nunchuck is an important thing to have. Why do we have to pay over $20 just to get this which can only be powered by the wii controller and that the only thing that this has are 2 buttons and a Joy-Stick. A more reasonable price for this is $9.99 or maybe even $14.99, but over $20 is a little much for this kind of thing.

Good Accessories

The Wii Nunchuck is neccessary in boxing especially when boxing a friend. It is a great nonobtrusive workout. Overall the Wii is a system that has been needed for a long time and I am glad it is finally here. The Nunchuck is a part that increases the Wii's enjoyment.

Great fun, but lacking in build quality

The Nunchuck is a must-have accessory for many Wii games, and really adds a lot to the games you use it with - imagine trying to box with only one hand!

Anyway, it does the motion-sensing thing just as well as the Wii Remote, which is to say, great. However, since it's powered by the Wii Remote, it doesn't have the same weight as the remote, which I think makes it feel cheap. Additionally, mine sometimes decides to think I'm permanently pressing the stick to one side or the other when I'm not, and I have to unplug it from the Wii Remote and plug it back in to reset it.

Since it's currently the only one there is, go for it! If a 3rd-party makes one with slightly better build quality, I'll probably take it over this one though.
