Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As of this writing the only place that sells this is online or gamestop (which is where I went to purchase this).With that said, unto the review.
For this review I will mention a few games since those games were used to test this product.
Synopsis:
First of all, I have to say I am glad NYKO has finally addressed the biggest complaint about the nunchuck, that is being attached to the remote and not being wireless.This product converts your existing nunchuck into a cord free unit.It is very easy to configure as all you need to do is get your nunchuck, slide it into place then coil the cord around until you finally connect it to the backside of the unit (just remember that when you are coiling to start from the bottom as it will bulge out a bit and you do not want it to bulge out on the top as you will need that space when you are connecting the unit, you won't understand what I am saying until you actually have the unit so keep this in mind).The unit itself is not heavy and it feels lighter than the remote.The power switch is located in the back and you put the batteries (2 AAA included) on the bottom of the unit.
Setup:
Turning on the unit is done by simply plugging in the small plug-in attachment to your Wii remote, power on the Wii remote then pressing the power button on the cord free attachment and that's all there's to it.Powering off is done by simply turning the remote power off (the cord free unit will blink a few times and then it will shut off altogether).
Testing the unit:
For this portion of the review I have used the following games:
Super Mario Galaxy: Though this isn't the best game to fully test the unit I tested it out to find out how easy it was to play this game.I found it very easy to use since the unit does stand up and I was simply resting the unit on my lap while playing the game and it was very comfortable.
Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles (With NYKO Perfect Shot): This was a big test since I wanted to know whether or not the plug-in fits the perfect shot.It fits the gun, though it's not a perfect fit when compared to how it fits the Wii remote but I can confidently say that the unit and gun fully works with the plug-in attached.I had a blast playing the game since I wasn't restricted with a cord attached to the gun.
Mario and Sonic Olympics: This was another huge test as this game involves a lot of games that requires shaking the nunchuck and I wanted to test how well the unit works with this game.First of all I have to say this is the best test for the unit since every time I play this game with the nunchuck, I usually have the cord hitting my chin and my hands, but with the cord finally gone this is no longer the case and I can enjoyevery game without having to get hit with the cord.This test was what made me decide to score this unit the following:
4.5 Stars
The reason why I deducted .5 star is the price.If the unit was $15 or under I would have no problem giving it 5 stars, but alas this isn't the case.If you do the math a regular nunchuck costs $20 and this unit is $20 bringing the total to $40.Also, NYKO will be releasing a separate Wireless Nunchuck called the Kama Wireless Nunchuck this May and will cost around $30 which is another reason I had to deduct from the final score (watch for my review for the Kama Wireless Nunchuck in May).In conclusion this unit is very good and I highly recommend it for anyone who is tired of the nunchuck cord.Battery life is estimated 60 hours on 2 AAA batteries.
