Like proprietary DVD formats, this wireless nunchuk rumor — to me anyway — appears to be a solution looking for a problem.
Opposable Thumbs (ars technica) seems to agree with me, saying:
“I’ve played a lot of Wii games, and a lot of those games use the Wiimote as well as the nunchuk. I tend to be fairly active when I Wii and I’m lucky to have a large, open living room. I’ve never run into a situation where I felt constrained or uncomfortable with the cable that connects that Wiimote and nunchuk; it has simply never gotten in the way of my playing.”
Me neither, Mr. Thumbs.
Has anyone out there had Wiimote/nunchuk cable issues that were so bad they would pay for a peripheral like this?
I only have 2 wiimotes and 2 nunchucks at the moment so when I get more of both, I would probably be interested in getting a wireless one, although that would mean syncing more things each time and then syncing things than need to first be synced to something in the first place. Anyway, I would probably get one, just cause it's easier than having to wrap the nunchuk cable around itself to tidy it away..
The only problem I have (and its not even a problem more of something to laugh at)is when I am playing Rayman the cable sometimes hits me in the face but I really get into it so its no big dealTheKidWonder
I too would point to Rayman. When you have to do a lot of up and down, running type, action, the cord can get tangled up around the remotes as you swing them.-Chris in TN
I also have a open space, I have 4 remotes and nunchuks going at the same time, my friends and I have never run into a problem. The wires are long enough and are A OK in my books.
Similar problem in Red Steel.There's a jumping two sword slash move thingy you can do.When you lift both units up and bring them down quickly, the cable tends to whip up in your face
There would be far too many things to synch, it would end up just pissing me off. I always thought that the cords were way long. Also, I've never had that problem in Red Steel
Well, I've never had a problem with space, as, it's pretty vast, my living room that is. And the cable's like 2 feet long, I think I'm set there.And, is this a commonly used phrase of speech: appears to be a solution looking for a problem,? I've never heard that before.
I get tangled up in boxing pretty good. Usually it's a jab/uppercut combo that does it.
Yup, same as tmuggle above. Boxing produces entanglination occasions aplenty 😉 Cable in face, cable around wiimote, cable around wrist… Wireless nunchuck would be a nice thing, I guess.
