 What is this? A game? June 24, 2008

I decided to buy this Wii Nunchuk because my son said he wanted one. It had a low price, so I went for it. When I got it, I noticed that the nunchuck is made of plastic and has this knob-like button thing on it that sticks out. The chain is made of plastic, and is way too long. Plus, you get only one side. I can't see how this could ever be of use in a fight. It's not balanced, there is nothing to hold when you go to hit somebody with it, and I don't think that plastic cable would hold up very long.
It turns out that the plastic cable plugs into a Wii remote control. Still, it's a far cry from a real nunchuck. The remote is way out of balance with their nunchuck, and with that extra long cord, it's useless in a fight, or even for practice. I'd recommend going to a good martial arts store and getting a traditional pair made of wood with a good steel chain.
I ended up letting my son use it as something to play with since I couldn't think of anything else to do with it. To my surprise, he likes it. The Wii somehow knows when he is shaking that thing, and that useless knob thingy actually becomes useful. So I figured I shouldn't be so hard on the product since kids can really have fun with it.
From what I gather from my son, it adds value to the game and makes playing with the Wii more enjoyable. I found out that some games are better suited to this than they are to the remote control alone, and the action of this thing fits in smoothly with playing the game. My son told me that he thought the everybody with a Wii should get one. Go figure.
So I'd have to say that the bottom line is that this is pretty useless for real martial arts, but is a "must have" item for playing some games. I decided to rate the thing based just on the game part, because for martial arts, I'd have to give it zero stars. My daughter says it doesn't deserve 5 stars because they should have included one with every remote, but I couldn't get either of the kids to name anything they don't like about it when using it.
Why 2 controlers for the Wii? June 20, 2008

Everyone knows why the Nintendo Wii is so different and that is mostly due to having to stand up and play and not just sit on the couch. I don't use the nunchuk very often, but when you do it's a lot different using both hands to play a boxing game and it's pretty realistic to throw punches with both hands, cause that's the way boxing games should be played.

I needed it for my wii so I bought it. I can't say I use it often but when I do it works well.

I bought this as a second controller for my WII. Not much to say except it works as advertised. I got the unit included with a game package costing about $10 more than the controller by itself. I haven't tried the game package but the controller works great.
