Contoured
to perfectly fit a player's hand, the Nunchuk controller builds on the
simplicity of the Wii Remote controller and goes an extra step to meet
the needs of gamers. The Nunchuk controller connects to the Wii Remote
controller at its expansion port and is used in conjunction with the
Wii Remote controller.
The
Nunchuk controller contains the same motion-sensing technology enabled
in the Wii Remote controller but also includes an analog stick to
assist in character movement. In several games, players will use the
analog stick of the Nunchuk controller to move their characters and the
Wii Remote controller to perform a specific action, whether that's
throwing a pass in football or aiming a ranged weapon in an action
game.
Along
with the analog stick, the motion-sensing Nunchuk controller also
contains two buttons positioned for quick access. Because the Wii
Remote and Nunchuk controllers are only relatively dependent on each
other, players are free to hold them in whichever hand is most
comfortable. The ambidextrous nature of the Wii controllers grants
accessibility seldom seen in game controllers
