Nintendo Wii Fanboy

Fed up with his poor performance in NiGHTS, NeoGAFfer MobiusPigeon set out to remove the octagonal gate from his Nunchuk, allowing him full, unencumbered 360-degree rotation. Using a cone-shaped grinding stone on a drill, he bored out the joystick hole until it was circular. He reported an improvement in personal NiGHTS performance "from Ds and Es to (A's)" immediately after implementing this mod.

It came up in the thread that, while you've got the Nunchuk open, you could actually swap out the Nunchuk's joystick with a larger GameCube stick, for an even more comfortable experience. Also, all of these mods would work with a Classic Controller, as well.

We know where we'll be after Christmas this year: hitting up used game shops looking for spare parts. We're hoping to find some pre-thrown-away defective Cube controllers from which to mine joysticks.

Do you hate the feel of the analog stick on your nunchuk attachment or classic controller? Is your thumb always slipping off? Well, you might want to get checked for leprosy (ynuck, ynuck) ...

For all of you gamers out there without this highly-infectious disease and find yourself totally appalled at our horrible attempts at humor, Japanese company Cyber Gadget has a solution for you with their removable analog stick covers. Interchangeable, the various nubs included in the package feature different textures and shapes for the discerning gamer.

Do you hate the feel of the classic controller and nunchuk's analog sticks?
