okay i read a post from another site check it out below my post.
Basically the nunchaku attachment wont have the same motion sensing capabilities as the free hand. things like tilt to reload will be functions of the attachment.

"Last week, a rumor hit the net claiming that the Nintendo Revolution’s nunchaku controller features a built-in acellerometer allowing it to sense it being tilted left or right, or being moved up, down, left, right and in a number of other directions as well.
Today, AMN has confirmed through a developer incredibly close to Nintendo that this rumor is in fact true. The nunchaku peripheral does feature this secondary function. However, we were also told that the nunchaku controller does not feature the same pointing and motion sensing abilities that allow the Revolution free-hand controller to be used like a “pointer” or “wand.”
One example we’ve come up to describe how this function will be useful in future software involves a first-person shooter, in which you use the free-hand controller to look around and aim, while you use the nunchaku controllers analog stick to move around and strafe. Most importantly, you’d be able to tilt the nunchaku controller to the left or right to reload your weapon.
More intriguing than all this, perhaps, our source told us that this “feature” of the nunchaku controller has been in their development kits since they first received them over six months ago. This raises the question, of course, is this the second big secret function of the Revolution controller? It could be. However, it’s odd that developers have had access to the feature and information all along, without ever being told to keep the information under wraps.
Nintendo Revolution will be in full playable form during the Electronic Entertainment Expo., which kicks off May 9, 2006 with Nintendo’s annual press briefing. AMN will be on hand at the event with full coverage"
http://revolution.advancedmn.com/article.php?artid=6601 Note that the article says that the nunchuka WILL NOT have the same pointing capabilities of the remote, instead it will only sense tilting and probably motion sensing (up, down, forward, back, etc). But this is a good thing. Why? Because if it had the same pointing capabilities, it would just be too complicated to coordinate both hands! lol. Instead making simpler gestures with the nunchuka (pulling back, tilting) is far more acceptable and intuitive.
This makes sense for Red Steel. You tilt the nunchucka left and right to lean against walls, pull back on it to reload gun and push forward to push tables. So the remote will only be used to point, shoot, and twist to rotate the gun gangsta style, rather than reload with it and lean against walls with it (by twisting it) as was previosuly thought.
