I've been waiting for a wireless nunchuck for a very long time.

I have both RRR and the wire barely gets in the way, I wouldn't trust nyko the the motion sensors though considering that Nyko has troubles with rechargeable batteries.

Btw, this is offtopic, but does anyone really know what the point of nunchucks is? As a weapon I'd much rather have a sword, throwing stars, spear, mace, and well just about anything... are nunchucks just intended to show off ninja skills or do they have some practical use?

I need more impressions and reviews before checking it out.

nunchucks have the advantage of the chain when in battle with someone with a sword, a skilled person with nun-chucks can use the chain of the nun-chucks to wrap around the sword and disable it from the other persons use. Nunchucks can also be swung faster giving you the ability to deliver more hits over a sword. Remember you don't really deliver your death blows with nunchucks, but use them as a tool to disable or confront whatever weapon you opponent has, then use your hand to hand fighting skills.

Okay then. I guess that does make some sense when you put it that way. But I'd still rather have a lethal weapon if I were given a choice, lol.

If the third-parties want to make Wii controllers they should make a Classic controller that has the shape of a GameCube pad, or better yet an N64 controller. I would buy one of each of those.

I think we all know Nintendo doesn't give a sh*t about the environment.

I know thrustmaster made a Wireless Classic Controller alternative that plugs into a gamecube port but thats really Wavebird with rumble alternative, the only downside is that it uses 3 AAA batteries for some sick weird reason.
If you want to read IGN GEAR's review And this is how it looks like:

It's evident when you play Wii Boxing - the nunchuck isn't nearly as responsive.

Or Hori.
Anywhoo, you can get that Thrustmaster controller for less than $15 shipped from Dell right now. Check the Amazing Deals thread.
