Nyko Wireless Nunchuck for Nintendo Wii

If there is any particularly valid criticism that can be labelled against Nintendo’s ever popular Wii it’s surely the fact that the Wii’s nunchuck is a cabled affair that often serves as somewhat of a restraint when embroiled in a overly physical gaming experience but, thanks to Nyko, you can now rid yourself of that infernal cable thus leaving you to wave your nunchuck around in a wholly unrestrained manner.

Available as a DIY kit to convert your standard, wired nunchuck into a wireless affair or as a separate fully assembled wireless nunchuck, powered by two AAA batteries that operates straight out of the box, costing $19.99 and $34.99 respectively, we’ll certainly be splashing the cash to rid ourselves of the wire – primarily on account of me nearly castrating myself yesterday whilst trying to obtain a personal best in the cross country skiing event in Winter Sports 2008 (don’t ask).

Both the DIY Nintendo Wii DIY Wireless Nunchuck Kit and the Replacement Nyko Wireless Nunchuck are due to be available from Amazon on 25th March (though, of course, they can be pre-ordered now).
