i wasn't gonna get this, but did anyway for the hell of it. tested it with Wii Sports Boxing, Super Mario Galaxy, RE:UC, Ghost Squad, Trauma Center: Second Opinion and it works pretty well. i just got carried away with it being wireless that i forgot the nunchuck was also motion sensitive. but overall it hasn't done anything strange or become unresponsive. 2 AAA batteries might a little bit of a hassle, but i got rechargeables anyway.

i'd recommend it might buy another one, but just wanted to check if anyone else has had a chance to try it out and/or knows of any issues with it.

I'm never buying another Nyko product after the Nyko Charge Station.

i did have bad luck with that one. one of the batteries wouldn't charge. eventually picked up another battery pack and it was fine. what was wrong w/ the one you got?

I was just looking into these. Amazon has both Nyko versions (adaptor for a wired nunchuk, or a straight-up wireless nunchuk) for release on 3/25, but they also have this Intec setup for $4 less than the Nyko ($15.99)- has anyone tried this model? I'm tired of whacking myself in the face with the nunchuk cord whenever I have to do a wrestling move in No More Heroes.

One set wouldn't charge, I was able to get a new set. This set died on me after like 6 months. I'd never, ever buy a Nyko product again.

How much extra weight does the cord-wrap thing add?

I'm interested in getting a pair of wireless nunchuks but I didn't know they were $35. I thought they were going to be around $25. I'll wait I guess. I don't like that its AAA either since all my rechargeable batteries are AA but thats an easy fix.

didn't even know there was a review. but they say that it adds some weight, but not enough to feel heavier than a wiimote. that's about right.

the only problem they note is having more than 1 of these things active. i thought of that last night...there's no channel switch or anything.

I hope they have a first party solution that isn't too expensive. I wouldn't mind getting rid of the cords.

I'd rather have an alternative nunchuk without the goddamn stupid octagon around the stick - I'd like to be able to move in 360 degrees, Nintendo.
So yeah, I'm hoping someone makes a wireless one without that.

Nyko sucks but I can't see how they could mess this up.

 

[tankexmortis]

Whatever, man. Nyko made the Perfect Shot. I love them now.
