Will this need batteries every 3 days like the Wiimote? :p

No, you will just get the Nyko Wireless 'Nunchuck' Charging Dock that comes out two months later... lol

I would have wanted a wireless nunchuk for my zapper (so as not to have to do all that door opening wire wrappy-wrappy) but then look that dongle thingy on the remote (which is really quite necessary) would not work in the zapper. So boo and also hoo!

Yeah this is pretty awesome! I wish the colors matched a little closer.

I can't wait till someone designs a 3rd party wiimote with better button placement.

H'm this would be something I would like to have, as the cord always wraps oddly around my hand I and feel like I'm going to rip the male portion of the connector out of the port on the wii mote.

As long as its under $25.00. I'll probably purchase it.

I have a feeling it'll be really light and feel a bit tacky thus.

Another place to shove batteries. I also have a few concerns about this. One will it be interference free if using more than one in multi player games. Also IGN stated that it will use 2.4 GHz so will their be problems with cordless phones that uses 2.4 GHz. I am sure that it will have a short battery life plus the unit that plugs into the back of the Wii remote will more than likely cause an even shorter life of the remotes batteries. Personally I have no problems with the wire and I have yet to play a game were it got in my way. I am guessing that this will be about as useful as the wireless sensor bar (which is not much if you have the original).

I care(d), at least while playing Red Steel. I'd do the two handed downward katana strike and whip myself in the sack with that damn cord. I had to start wrapping the cord around my forearm in order to duel.

This isn't a bad idea. I find that when I playing some games (Wii Sports Boxing comes to mind) the cord will get in the way and impede my playing.

that thing is dammed hideous to me lol. i think its the color mostly. but it seems pretty nice in terms of functionality since im a tall guy with long arms and i cant always stretch out like i want to sometimes cause of the short cord. i dont know if i would buy one or not because of the whole "god i hate batteries" thing but its still pretty cool. (and im not buying a charging stand until i buy Brawl and Galaxy since i dont play my Wii enough otherwise to warrant the $30.)

I still want a dual wiimote (read: dual IR) scheme for FPS. How sweet would would real dual wield with independent aiming be? It'd be even better if nyko made a nunmote with an analog stick.

they will probably just announce in a few weeks that it's too expensive and scrap the project.

but IF it comes out i will defenitely buy. too bad games probably won't come out that require it. yoga and aerobics games for example.

Hmmm....looks to be unable to hook up to the Wiimote while a Wiimote Jacket is on it. Dealbreaker indeed.

Does it have its own wrist strap?

Well...more importantly...does it have its own wrist strap?!? I would like to know this very much JC.

It says in the freaking post.

"Amusingly, it'll also include its own wrist strap."

Although, I can see how it'd be difficult to confuse the words "its own" with "absolutely no sign of a"

Now imagine your little brother snatching the wireless Nunchuck from you and running around the house with it. (Or even worse, make you lose in that all important boss battle).

i would buy it, but I already have 2 Wiimotes and 2 (wired) Nunchuks.

I will purchase them when they come out, however im sick of using so many batteries

i couldn't care less about a wireless nunchuk. give me a wireless classic controller though and i'll be happy.

During a round of DBZ:BT3 a few nights ago a friend of mine nearly pulled the nunchuck out of the wiimote. Also the cord is always being thrown around. The Wii is about motion, so I assume this happens a lot. I would definately buy this if it's $25-30.

My dreams have come true, no more hitting myself in the face while using Spirit bomb or DDR dancing with the cord everywhere or the cord getting all tangled and always having to keep it out with the cord straight.

Anyways aslong as it's under 100$ definate buy.
