Those of you complaining that the Nunchuk was too small and light should be pleased, as should those who are furious at the corded Nunchuk but don't have the extra $20 to drop for the fully wireless model. Perhaps you just wanted a free-standing Nunchuk to set next to your charging Wiimotes.
Okay, we're making fun, but the truth is that even if the adapter is conspicuous, it seems to be out of the way, and a viable solution for making your Nunchuk wireless, as long as it doesn't add too much weight.

I don't like that cord wrap thing so much, but a bulkier 'chuck is actually a good thing for me. I don't think my hands are exceptionally large or anything, but the nunchuck is uncomfortably small to me. I don't mind it at all in short bursts, but after 30 min or so my left hand starts to hurt.

Not liking it, would like to have no cord on nunchuck.

That would certainly be a more elegant solution. There was one that came out or is coming out which has no chord and I think it's $20.
If this thing was like $5 I'd buy it, since I already have 4 'chucks.

Wouldn't it just be better to come out with a wireless set of controllers?

i think this is going to be the near end of sales for nintendo's own nunchuks, there are offering pure wireless nunchuks , this is just an alternative if you don't want to buy another nunchuk, personally i think the wireless ones will start to sale due to the simple fact of needing to tuck the original nunchuks cord in..Nintendo needs to hurry up and catch up on the Wii's demand so they can get that wireless nunchuk they've been working on (pure speculation on my part) to the market...

Not gonna work for people like me with bag hands. My pinky rests against the strain-relieving part of the cord as it is. Or at least really uncomfortable.

Hmm that kinda sucks.. I'm all about the Wii-mote part, but I thought earlier mock-ups showed a different nunchuk that went along with it that was cordless.

There is a separate wireless nunchuk coming out. This is another thing.

I don't want a wireless nunchuk... Just another thing to suck batteries. What game is it really necessary for?

Exactly. There's no point. The cord is long enough and it doesn't get in the way. It's not like it's connected to the Wii or anything.

I'll opt for the fully wireless version.

Looks like no attachments for safety straps for the those overzealous kiddies. We've already seen one video with a poorly designed wiimote add-on.

I happen 2 like it. I think it's attractive and we have a nunchuck stand! It's also cheaper n it's the first party nunchuck you already have so you know it's not crappy(or at leats don't doubt that it is)
