So I’m one of the lucky few who got the Wii Fit… yes I like and yes it works.

There’s one activity in the game that is synchronized boxing.
Basically you throw punches and step an a particular pattern.

It’s a very good exercise, but the problem is that sometimes the cable to the nunchuck gets wrapped around my hand.
Then when I flick my hand to clear the cable, it thinks I’m throwing another punch.

Then I read about the Nyko Wireless Nunchuck and stopped on the way home to grab one… here’s the resulting review.

First of all, it’s pretty slick how it works.

It comes with a little transceiver that connects to the bottom of the Wii remote.
After a quick pairing, you’re ready to go.

I tried it briefly with Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 (’cause that’s what was in the console) and it worked great!

No wires, it was very responsive and was perfect in combination with the Nyko Perfect Shot I got a few weeks ago.

I popped out the MOH game and popped in the Wii Fit game, loaded up the boxing exercise and had at it!

At first it was great, seemed to be just like the wired one… but after a while I was missing punches thrown from the nunchuck.

The punches were either missed or delayed, I quickly started to realize that it wasn’t as responsive as the wired one. To be honest I’m not sure if it’s the fact that it’s wireless, the motion sensor isn’t as good as the wired one, or what.

All in all for something like MOH, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, etc… where you’re using the nunchuck to control your character, it seems to work great!

For something like the boxing that needs to be responsive, it’s lacking.

I wouldn’t say don’t get it, in fact for most things I would recommend it, but I wouldn’t ditch the wired one just yet either.
