Nyko already has a wireless nunchuck out on the market previously released a wireless Nunchuck adapter, so we don't doubt that these would also do the job nicely. However, unlike the adapter, this is a standalone wireless Nunchuck. No messy cords to bundle up. But $35 for a peripheral that will clash with our lovely white Wiimotes? We'll pass on this one.

[Update: Update: Corrected a few errors in the article. $35 is the standard price for all of Nyko's Kama wireless nunchucks: the limited edition Kama line of nunchucks cost the same as Nyko's standard Kama Wireless Nunchucks soon to be released.]

Or maybe they're $35 because, I dunno, they're wireless?
These limited edition nunchuks are the same price as Nyko's normal wireless nunchuks.

So, whatever happened to different colored Wiis? I've been waiting for a black Wii since release (you know, when they said they'd be available).

I'm still not sure I understand the point of a wireless nunchuck. Wireless controller/remote, yes, but a nunchuck? Unless you're a giant over 15 feet tall with a huge armspan I don't get it. You're already separated from console; is that wire in the lap really that annoying?

So I'm supposed to be excited and pay more money for a nunchuck because there are only 150 and it has a golden duck on it?
I'm confused O.o.....

wow those colors are disgusting. dull uninteresting gray (not even a cool finish?), carnation pink, black, and black w/ a gold stripe that you could draw with a marker or paint. if they made them solid (lose the white part on the analog) there might be a slight improvement, but that small piece makes it look terrible.
ew.

not to mention, if you look at the other views of the nunchuck, the buttons are white on each one. It makes no sense. and seriously, on the gold one, what is with the duck!?

This is actually big news -- I wasn't aware that these wireless nunchucks were even available for purchase yet (the only ones that are available are the "adapters" for the wired nunchucks). Amazon doesn't ship them until June 2, 2008. I ordered 2 of the black ones. No more hitting myself in the face with the nunchuck cords when I'm doing the wrestling moves in No More Heroes!

Nunchuck.. kama.. at least they're keeping with the Asian weapon theme for the peripheral's name.

Just got my black ones yesterday -- they are very nice, although I can't help feeling that there's a very small (almost imperceptible) lag when using it. Not very noticible, but I could tell that driving the motorcycle in No More Heroes felt _just_ a little off. Otherwise, I'm very happy.
