Nintendo Nunchuk Controller - Black

I bought Super Mario Galaxy for our Wii U and needed the nunchuck controller. We had tried getting one off eBay but as usual, used is terrible. The nunchuck couldn't hold itself steady and was detected all over the place even when the remote was stationary. I wasn't sure if the one sold here was by Nintendo or a fake Nintendo account but we got lucky and got a solid remote. It works exactly as it should with the games that we have. Haven't had any problems thus far but will update as we continue to use it. We also bought the attached remote, which also works great. Both made by Nintendo.I'd only suggest buying new and from Nintendo themselves. All the off brands always suck and never do a good enough job. In addition they always tend to wear out fast. It's just a normal remote, and works with WiiU. I'm not sure if it works with the regular Wii but i'd imagine it would. If you don't need to use the Nunchuck, I'd advise just using the Wii U pad. It's far better with the touch screen but when you play games with the nunchuck it's great. Also it's a good alternative to letting the kids use the Pad. If you don't want them messing it up and griming it up, they can use the remote and nunchuck to get things accomplished. I'm always hesitant letting kids use the pad, as it's pretty important with the new WiiU games.

I purchased this nunchuck controller for use with my Wii U system. It works very well, including games that use the motion controller in the nunchuck, such as The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. And it is my favorite color, so bonus points for style. It has two trigger buttons and a thumbstick, and the cable is just long enough that you can extend your arms but not so long that it gets in the way while playing. Overall, I didn't find any flaws with this product and would recommend it to anyone who has a Nintendo Wii or a Nintendo Wii U. 5/5 starsIf you found this review helpful, please show some love by clicking the "Yes" button below.

Got this as a replacement accessory for my kids, when some of their stuff magically "grew legs and walked out the door" after a sleepover they had. Oh well, what are you gonna do? It was a good price, and I felt bad that they couldn't play most of the games they had without the nunchuk, so I gave in. They play all the time again(this is a good thing?) and it's holding up just fine. I'll watch it and them, like a hawk in the future too!

My wife and I bought a WII several years ago (before we had kids), played it a few times and then it became a nice dust collector for a long spell. Fast forward 6 years and we now have three boys, ages 6, 3 and 1. We recently dusted off the WII and started playing a few games. My oldest son loves the bowling and boxing games. We only had one Nunchuck and we wanted to be able to box each other, so it was time to buy another nunchuck. I was surprised how expensive they are, but I'm guessing its because the new WII U can use the same nunchuck (which makes them still relevant). This nunchuck worked great and allowed my son and I to go at it in the WII boxing games. Its amazing how easily he can beat me; it seems we are just randomly throwing our arms around, but he must have some sort of technique because I haven't beaten him in weeks. The price of this particular nunchuck was reasonable. Some other reviews indicate it may be a knockoff. I don't know if it is or not - it says Nintendo on the box and looks legit, but I know these things can be replicated pretty easily. That said, the price was good and it works just fine so I would recommend this product if you need an additional Nintendo Nunchuk Controller.

With so many fake Wii controllers being sold on Amazon, we were hesitant to buy this one, even though Amazon had it listed as an updated version of the Wii Nunchuck. But, since it was a little cheaper we decided to trust Amazon and give it a shot.We used it to play Smash Brothers on our Wii for about an hour so far and it's worked fine. It looks like real Nunchucks we've bought in the past, has the same feel, the only difference we've seen so far is that it's a few dollars cheaper and it just came in a box marked Wii U.I'll update this if we notice any problems, but so far it seems like a good, authentic, controller for Wii.

Okay, so I had bad luck with a couple of generic Nunchuk's. Fine, you get what you pay for. So I started buying Nintendo brand Nunchuk's. The first Nintendo brand Nunchuk that came with the Wii Consul works. A black Nintendo Brand Nunchuk had the cord pulled out of it's socket playing an exercise game a couple weeks after we bought. (The cord was shorter than our original white nunchuk for some reason.) But I decide to blame that on user error. So I bought another White Nintendo brand Nunchuk. The analogue joystick never worked for this one. I guess I'm ruling out Nunchuk's marked Wii U even if they claim to be compatible with the old Wii. Maybe I missed something about Wii motion (all or our wiimotes have wii motion). In short, I have bought 3 Nintendo brand nunchuks and 2 generics, and only one Nunhcuk has been fully functional for longer than 3 weeks. (The first Nintendo Brand Nunchuk that came with the Wii). You can tell I'm a little frustrated. We have several games that use the Nunchuk, and we wanted to use to use it socially. I wish I had some advice, but I haven't had enough good fortune to offer a solution yet. I'll keep trying, I guess.
