The Nintendo Wii hasn't just led the way with their innovative main controller but with the second controller, the Nunchuck, they have gone one step beyond Xbox and Sony. For the majority of the Wii's games they make use of both controllers to ensure that you use both hands to control the games. While the Wiimote seems to hold all the wireless and movement technology, the Nunchuck is equally as advanced.
With the Wii mote in your right hand the idea of the Nunchuck is to involve your other hand in the game as well. It is connected to the Wiimote by wire, which plugs simply into the bottom of the Wiimote, making it all quite simple to connect up. With the addition of the Nunchuck you then get an additional three controls for all the games. Once connected to the Wiimote it also then becomes a movement sensor and your actions using the Nunchuck. This means that on games such as Wii Boxing and Family Ski the Wiimote in one hand and Nunchuck in the other give you control over both of your characters hands.
In addition to the extra movement sensors to give your character 2 hands, you also gain another three buttons. The joystick on the top of the Nunchuck is ideal for first person games and can be used to get your character looking in different directions or aim a weapon. It works like a classic joystick and like the Wiimote it is quite an advanced piece of equipment, but works in a very simple way. The Nunchuck also introduces another 2 buttons into the games, a C and Z button. Of course these buttons have different uses depending on the game, but like the Wiimote, the Nunchuck fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, with all of the buttons in an easily accessible layout.
Unlike the Wiimote though there are a couple of draw backs to using the Nunchuck's. The first of which is the cable attaching it to the Wiimote. While this is unavoidable I have found that during certain games, Wii Boxing in particular, this cable can get in the way and you can end up getting caught up in the wire. It's also a very expensive addition for what it is. At £13.05 each they are an expensive additional item to. You get on free with the console, however if you want any extra's they don't come with the Wiimote's. As the Nunchuck isn't needed for every game the additional £13 is very steep and it makes it a bit of a non essential.
Overall despite the cost and the minor annoyances with the Nunchuck it is another good addition to the Wii controllers. There are deals out there to be able to get the Wiimote and Nunchuck for a lot less than a combined price of £40. While I like the Nunchuck and find it useful for games I don't think it's worth the full price and would strongly recommend trying to delay buying one until you can get a decent deal on one.
Advantages: Adds a new dimension to multiplayer games, motion sensitive Disadvantages: Flimsy data cable
...games. In my opinion, Nintendo have made a strange (or clever depending on your angle) decision to sell the nunchuck seperately to the Wii remote meaning an outlay of around £50 if you want to buy them both.

The nunchuck serves a multitude of purposes depending on which game you play. Some games even rely soley on the Wii remote but using the nunchuck enhances the gaming experience greatly.

Advantages: Easy to install, the analogue stick can be useful Disadvantages: Not very sensitive, lacks additional controls, costly
*Are we talking about the same thing?* Reading the other reviews of the Wii Nunchuck Controller, I'm starting to wonder whether I'm living in a parallel universe! The bulk of reviews to date appear to be glowing and the experience of other users doesn't seem to compare to mine and so I thought I'd add my tuppence worth for the sake of conversation. *Availability and pricing* Although prices vary for the Nunchuck, it's typical to pay £11-15 for it ... ...already have shelled out in the region of £30 for additional Wii Remotes. You really need to ask yourself whether a console where adding a second player to, say, a boxing match for the sum of £45 is a sensible purchase! Some games insist upon using a Nunchuck controller (Final Fantasy for the Wii is one such example). *Setting up* The Nunchuck plugs into the base of the Wii Controller and is wired to the standard controller with a cable that comes ...

== Nintendo Wii Nunchuck Controller Review == === What is a Nunchuck? === The Nintendo Wii Nunchuck is a white plastic controller which is meant to be held in your left hand (if you are right handed) like a secondary controller. The Nunchuck has white rubber stick to control movements and two buttons "c" and "z" which are normally used as action buttons. The Nunchuck costs about £15 in most shops and is needed for quite a large number of games. === ... ...use the Nunchuck on its own and it needs to be plugged into the Wii remote to work. You just have to clip the Nunchuck in to the bottom of the Wii remote and you will be able to use it. The Nunchuck does actually have some motion sensing abilities but these are not often used and don`t work very well. Try boxing in Wii Sports and you will see what I mean. === Durability === One problem I have with my Nunchuck is it somehow randomly broke and I am ...

Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: Should be wireless
Nintendo Wii Nunchuck, The Nunchuck is another controller for the Wii you attach it to the bottom of the WiiMote by wire, Im not really sure why they dont connect them wireless but the wire does not get in the way to much it is still playable, Nintendo have been clever about the Nunchuck they sell it seperate than the Wiimote which means more money for Nintendo, But it is deffinatly worth buying it.

Overall the Nunchuck is a really clever idea by Nintendo since they make more money but it is also very useful for us since, Its more spaced out so you control the Nunchuck with one hand and the WiiMote with the other. ...

Included in my Nintendo Wii pack was a nunchuck and originally I didnt have any games that used it apart from Wii sport. Now I have and I have to say I give it mixed reviews. With a horse racing game it is very sensitave so easy to guide the horse and its simple to use yet with my brother pro evolution soccer it isnt very accuratle when controling the footballer.
I think this is due to the fact that with the horse game you move the whole nunchuck ...

Product Information for "NINTENDO Nunchuck Controller - game pad" »
Manufacturer's product description
Contoured to perfectly fit a player's hand, the Nunchuk controller builds on the simplicity of the Wii Remote controller and goes an extra step to meet the needs of gamers. The Nunchuk controller connects to the Wii Remote controller at its expansion port and is used in conjunction with the Wii Remote controller. The Nunchuk controller contains the same motion-sensing technology enabled in the Wii Remote controller but also includes an analog stick to assist in character movement. In several games, players will use the analog stick of the Nunchuk controller to move their characters and the Wii Remote controller to perform a specific action, whether that's throwing a pass in football or aiming a ranged weapon in an action game. Along with the analog stick, the motion-sensing Nunchuk controller also contains two buttons positioned for quick access. 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. The ambidextrous nature of the Wii controllers grants accessibility seldom seen in game controllers.
