Nyko Wireless Nunchuk Announced

Looks pretty nice to me!

Well, this was inevitable. And we suppose it's not a terrible thing in itself, some people really loathe that cord tying the Wiimote and Nunchuck together, especially in light of how minimalistic the Wii is in most other regards. We, on the other hand, appreciate the defence the tether provides against injuring our house guests any more than necessary with our crazed arm flailings. Who knows if Nintendo will ever get around to releasing a wireless version of the Nunchuck, but Nyko's going to make a buck here either way with its Wireless Nunchuck setup, which is headed for CES next month. There's a 2.4GHz receiver module that has to be plugged into the Wiimote, but the Nunchuck itself is pretty much a virtual clone of Nintendo's -- which is appreciated. No word on price or a release date just yet.

It uses 2 batteries. Might buy it next time I'll buy a nunchuck.

damn, just bought two more nunchuks, this is what the wii shoul dhave had as standard, playing mario Olympics with wires in the way is just plain wrong

Yea, they slap you round the face when you 'give it some'.

But where's the safety strap and jacket.....?

[Milfy]

Oooo, I like the look of this. I may have to invest in one. The wire does get on my nerves sometimes, though I always get way too into it.

The jackets are horrible and they will probaly integrate the wrist straps before release.

They're great! They make the Wiimote look like a dildo and are great in the bedroom.
