The Wii Nunchuk controller is a secondary Wii controller that adds even more innovation to the next generation of gaming, and does it all with less physical movement.

Used in conjunction with the standard Wii remote, certain games need the Wii Nunchuk controller for additional control options. Contoured perfectly to fit a player's hand, the Wii Nunchuk controller builds on the simplicity of the Wii Remote controller. The Wii Nunchuk controller contains the same three-axis motion sensor found in the Wii Remote, but also includes an analog stick, and two buttons to help assist in character movement.

Many games will allow you to control your character's movement with the Wii Nunchuk controller in your left hand, while your right hand is free to execute the action movements with the Wii Remote. For example, the Wii Nunchuk controller is particularly useful for games like Wii Boxing. You can use the Wii Nunchuk controller to punch with your weaker hand, while you use the Wii remote to punch and jab with your predominant hand.

In first-person shooters, the Wii Nunchuk controller carries the burden of movement, freeing you to aim and fire using a more natural motion with the Wii Remote. In a football game, you can make your quarterback elusive with the Nunchuk controller while you search for an open receiver to throw to using the Wii Remote. Serious gamers may even want to use two Wii Nunchuk controllers to gain a fierce competitive edge.

Because the Wii Remote and Wii Nunchuk controllers are only relatively dependent on each other, players are free to hold them in whichever hand is most comfortable. Perfectly suitable for either right or left-hand use, the Wii Nunchuk controller grants accessibility not often seen in previous game controllers.

Also, the Wii Nunchuk controller doesn't need its own power--it plugs into the Wii Remote controller when it's in use. So there's no need to worry about charging or replacing expensive batteries.

Adding a Wii Nunchuk controller to your Wii system will definitely help you open the doors to the next level of gaming, and seriously step up performance. Just be careful not to knock out your significant other, or bruise the dog, severely, while using one, or two Wii Nunchuk controllers.
