Nunchuk



The Nunchuk is the first controller attachment Nintendo revealed for the Wii Remote at the 2005 Tokyo Game Show. It connects to the Wii Remote via a cord that is about 3.5 to 4 feet (1 ~ 1.2 m) long. Its appearance while attached resembles the       nunchaku]. It also features an analog stick similar to the one found on the [[Nintendo GameCube controller and two trigger buttons; a last minute modification changed the two triggers to one trigger and a "C" button. It works in tandem with the main controller in many games. Like the Wii Remote, the Nunchuk also provides accelerometer for three axis motion-sensing and tilting, but without a speaker, a rumble function, or a pointer function.

A Nunchuk comes bundled with the Wii console. Separate Nunchuks retail in Japan for JP¥1,800, in the United States for US$19.99, in Canada for CA$24.99, in Australia for AU$29.99, in Europe for €19, and in the United Kingdom for £14.

The two shoulder buttons, formerly named Z1 and Z2 respectively, had been reshaped and renamed since the Game Developers Conference. The circular top shoulder button, now called C, is much smaller than the lower rectangular shoulder button, now called Z. The C button is oval shaped, while the Z button is square.

The body of the Nunchuk measures 113 mm (4.45 in) long, 38 mm (1.5 in) wide, and 37 mm (1.48 in) thick. The connection port was also larger.

Product images and an Overstock.com listing indicate that game accessory manufacturer Intec is releasing a third-party Nunchuk for the Wii Remote. This is the first third-party expansion to be discovered for the Wii Remote.
