Product Description: Contoured to perfectly fit a player's hand, the Nunchuk controller goes an extra step to meet the needs of gamers. It features the same motion-sensing technology enabled in the Wii Remote controller, with an analog stick to assist in character movement. Use it to move your characters and have them perform all kinds of specific actions -- whether it's throwing a pass in football or aiming a ranged weapon in an action game. The ambidextrous nature of the Wii controllers grants accessibility seldom seen in game controllers.
Amazon.com: The Wii Nunchuk controller is a secondary controller that adds even more innovation to the next generation of gaming, and does it all with less physical movement.
Used in conjunction with the standard Wii remote, certain games need the Nunchuk controller for additional control options. Contoured perfectly to fit a player's hand,

the Nunchuk controller builds on the simplicity of the Wii Remote controller. The Nunchuk contains the same three-axis motion sensor found in the Wii Remote, but also includes an analog stick, and two buttons to help assist in character movement.
Many games will allow you to control your character's movement with the Nunchuk in your left hand, while your right hand is free to execute the action movements with the Wii Remote. For example, the Nunchuk is particularly useful for games like Wii Boxing. You can use the Nunchuk to punch with your weaker hand, while you use the Wii remote to punch and jab with your predominant hand.
Take the fun to the next level with two-handed control of your games.
In first-person shooters, the Nunchuk controller carries the burden of movement, freeing you to aim and fire using a more natural motion with the Wii Remote. In a football game, you can make your quarterback elusive with the Nunchuk controller while you search for an open receiver to throw to using the Wii Remote. Serious gamers may even want to use two Nunchuk controllers to gain a fierce competitive edge.
Because the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers are only relatively dependent on each other, players are free to hold them in whichever hand is most comfortable. Perfectly suitable for either right or left-hand use, the Wii Nunchuk controller grants accessibility not often seen in previous game controllers.
Also, the Nunchuk controller doesn't need its own power--it plugs into the Wii Remote controller when it's in use. So there's no need to worry about charging or replacing expensive batteries.
Adding a Nunchuk to your Wii system will definitely help you open the doors to the next level of gaming, and seriously step up performance. Just be careful not to knock out your significant other, or bruise the dog, severely, while using one, or two Nunchuk controllers.
Wii Nunchuk Very cool. I bought two and damn glad I did.
Good times!
Necessary item for quite a few games. High quality item that's useful in quite a few games. I purchased a second one to keep in my WII Zapper.
Good investment It is a good product and mine came properly packed. Has given me no trouble so far.
Nifty, but feels unfinished The nunchuk controller is a unique way to play games. It's disconcerting at first to have your hands apart, rather than hanging onto a controller and operating two thumbsticks. But then it rocks, especially in games like Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. The accelerometers inside the nunchuk make it more than just a one-handed thumbstick. You can toss it forward and yank it back to pull objects in the game. Super-freaking cool.
My only complaint about the nunchuk is that it feels unfinished, sort of plain. It's just a smooth hunk of molded plastic. There's not even a Wii logo. It seems almost like a prototype. It sounds stupid, perhaps, but it needs a bit more flair. Maybe a "grippy" surface or something.
But... it does what it's supposed to do and does it well.
Works fine-pricey when coupled with wiimote Works fine-pricey when coupled with wiimote. Does enhance the game experience on several games though.
