Wireless Wii Nunchuck

John Chan | Dec 10, 2007

For all of you out there who have been irritated by the wired Nunchuck attachment for the Nintendo Wii remote, the answer to your prayers is here. Nyko, a company that specializes in gaming peripherals, has announced the Wireless Nunchuck.

This product comes in two parts, a wireless version of the Nunchuck which looks very similar to the Nintendo original, and an attachment for the Wii remote. This allows the add-on to communicate with the remote using the 2.4GHz wireless frequency. It will be showcased at the upcoming CES tradeshow in the US.

Because it isn't standard with the Wii console, don't expect games to be designed for this new-found freedom. But if developers do take advantage of it, we can think of some possibilities that would have been impossible with the original tethered Nunchuck. Star Jump Exercise Adventures, anyone?
