The nunchuck controller attaches the to base of the Wii Remote to act as the main method of movement of a particular character within a game. It boasts and analogue stick with an octagonal base for precise directional movement, a small C button and larger Z button. It also features gyroscopic motion control, but no pointer control like the standard Wii Remote does.

As an add-on controller, the nunchuck does what it's supposed to - it's essentially designed to be the left-hand side of a standard controller, just seperated from it by the cable.

There are few gripes to be had with the design of the nunchuck, but some may complain that the buttons are digital and not analogue which seems like a missed opportunity to gain even more precision when it comes to button presses. Some may also miss the ridges on the top of the analogue still which generally appear on older controllers like the GameCube. You may find that your thumb slides off the stick a lot easier than it would with an analogue stick that has the ridges.

All in all, the controller functions well and does it's job, but there's a couple of ommissions which prevent perfection.
