Wii Wireless Nunchucks

Nanoman · 31 May 2008 at 11:35

Has anyone used/got a wireless nunchuck? Are they a waste of money? Just another thing to charge? Is the receiver much added weight?

Need another one so thinking about getting a wireless.

The Nyko ones came out on the 23rd of May, they actually look well made/official quality.

What's the point?

Nanoman · 31 May 2008 at 11:42

I have long arms.

No but seriously same point as with most wireless controllers.

I understand what you mean, but the wire can occasionally get a little annoying, especially if the game is quite frenetic and it's flapping about. Also our cat always seems to think the connecting wire is for him to play with

Probably doesn't warrant the additional cost, unless you were going to buy a new nunchuck anyway.

the wire could have done with being 6-8 inchs longer really, at least for me

It annoys me when it twists up as well so its about 4inchs long. Feels like youre handcuffed.

I doubt they're as long as mine and why would you need to fully extend your arms anyway?

Nanoman · 31 May 2008 at 11:52

Because I'm special.

Ain't that the truth!

james.miller · 31 May 2008 at 11:54

why shouldnt he want to. For a controller setup that you are supposed to be able to use any way you like, the wire can be very restrictive.

It just seems completely pointless and I've never had a problem with my 6'3 armspan so I just don't see the need. No one I know who has used a wii has any issues either.

Maybe they were scared to mention it in case you clotheslined them?

6ft 3? I ain't even that tall.

Kreeeee · 31 May 2008 at 12:19

Nor am I.

Nanoman · 31 May 2008 at 12:30

Your arms are longer than your legs?

Kreeeee · 31 May 2008 at 12:33

Generally your armspan is meant to be the same as your height.

Nanoman · 31 May 2008 at 12:35

I think Ive got long legs. (or short arms)

Kreeeee · 31 May 2008 at 12:37

I have a short torso.
