How do you make a wireless controller even more wireless? You cut the cord of course! Seriously though, as you may know, the Wii controller is not 100% wireless. It has the cord that connects both the Wiimote and Wii Nunchuck together. This can be slightly annoying (especially when playing boxing), but that is no longer an issue with the Nyko Wireless Nunchuck.

What It Is

The Nyko Wireless Nunchuck is a controller that allows you to replace your Wii Nunchuck with a wireless alternative. This thereby makes your wireless controller legitimately wireless. A wireless dongle attaches to the end of your Wiimote, and this allows you to play games without the cord hampering your style.

What It Does

It cuts the cord on your Wireless Wiimote. There is not much else to say about it. It could certainly be useful in games that require a vast amount of movement from both components. Why this wasn't included by Nintendo in the first place is a head scratching conundrum.

What It's Worth

The Nyko Wireless Nunchuck will take about $30 out of your wallet. If you are an active Wii gamer, I believe it is worth a look. The battery life--Nyko said the nunchuck will run on two AAA batteries for 30 hours--seems reasonable. Quality from Nyko is questionable though.

My Thoughts

I still wonder why Nintendo did not include this from the start. The quality of Nyko products is somewhat questionable from personal experience in the past. Oh, and where are the protective straps? I don't think your television would appreciate the idea of objects flying towards it at a high velocity.
