Nintendo Nunchuk Controller Add-On (Wii)

Product Information

It has a single joystick comprised of one 30KΩ potentiometer per axis, two switches, an accelerometer chip, and a microcontroller. Wii Sports Resort: Archery and a couple other sports require the Nunchuk; I do not believe any of the sports that require the Nunchuk are simultaneously played, so you can get away with one Nunchuk and sharing the controller.

On July 5, 2013, Satoru Iwata disclosed that the Wii Vitality Sensor project had been cancelled due to its lack of widespread compatibility, with Nintendo finding that the device failed to work with approximately 10% of people it was tested on, [92] noting that the device "was of narrower application than we had originally thought. But the weird thing about this wireless Nunchuk from Snakebyte [1] is that I got no response at all until I played Metroid Prime 3 or Zelda with it. A red Wii Remote Plus, initially designed to celebrate the Mario series' 25th anniversary, was included in red Wii bundles released for the occasion along with a matching Nunchuk and console, Wii Sports and New Super Mario Bros. Nintendo then commissioned Gyration to create a one-handed controller for it, [5] which eventually became the "Gyropod", a more traditional gamepad which allowed its right half to break away for motion-control.The Wii Vitality Sensor was announced by President and CEO Satoru Iwata at Nintendo's E3 2009 media briefing on June 2, 2009. Autodesk released a plugin that allows the Wii Remote to control orientation of 3D models in Autodesk Design Review. If the Wii Remote is not used for more than 5 minutes, such as when the player is using a GameCube controller, it will shut off, and can be re-activated by pressing any button (this was also the case when using a now discontinued video-on-demand service). Using these acceleration sensors (acting as tilt sensors), the Wii Remote can also control rotation of a cursor or other objects. Nintendo's industrial designer Lance Barr said that the Wii Remote's expansion port is unsuitable for internal battery charging.

The WiimoteProject forum became the discussion, support and sharing site for Lee's Wii Remote projects and other newer developments. Sky blue Nunchuks were available in Japan as a prize for a contest used to promote Wii Sports Resort. Depends entirely on the way they like to play it, not worth getting more than one nunchuk for this straight off the bat. The quality of Nunchuks being sold is just so random, but some can work and feel just as good (or bad) as the official ones.According to Nintendo, the device "will initially sense the user's pulse and a number of other signals being transmitted by their bodies, and will then provide information to the users about the body's inner world. The Wii Remote has an expansion port at the bottom which allows various functional attachments to be added. I haven't seen any 3rd party ones for years personally, I'm not entirely sure if they're any still working to be honest. It may be accessed under most circumstances during Wii operation, which pauses the on-screen action. But anytime I plug it into my WiiMote my application slows down and I don't get any response from the Nunchuk.
