Do you have really, really, really long arms? Good. Because the Nyko Wireless Nunchuck is perfect for you. It's one of the many peripherals we tested with Nyko in San Francisco. Surprises were few and far between. But perhaps that's a good thing -- we found that everything they offered worked as one would expect. The Wireless Nunchuck works just like the official corded variety, It may work a bit too well, in fact. We left the Wii Remote in one room, and ran across the office to find the Nunchuck still operated. Unnecessary? Yes. But a great display of how well this peripheral is designed.
The Cord Free accessory allows players to use their existing Wii Nunchucks and turn them into wireless ones. Once again, the range is excellent. There is one gripe we have about this peripheral, though. It makes the Nunchuck much too heavy.
Nyko had a ton of gadgets and gizmos to try out, and all of them seemed well constructed. This is certainly a far cry from the days where third-party accessories were mostly junk. Unfortunately, one peripheral was largely noticeably absent: the Wii Party Station. Unfortunately, it was quietly canned due to its unusually high production costs. Too bad. We asked for a sample prototype, but apparently, there's only one left in the world. What a find that would be for eBay ...
