It was bound to happen sooner or later, and well, here you go. Nyko has revealed its new Wireless Nunchuck for the Wii, which they say will function just like the original, aside from the addition of what appears to be an "Off" button for the peripheral itself.
Using 2.4-GHz wireless, this newest threat to your television's safety connects to the Wiimote by way of a receiver module that plugs into the accessory port. The absence of cordage obviously suggests that you'll need some other means of powering this thing, which I'm sure will please the good people at Duracell as much as it does anyone else.
You'll get a better look at Nyko's new Nunchuck after its official public debut at CES next month, along with more information on pricing and how not to pelt your sister in the face with it. Until then, there's some ugly web site that has a few more pictures of it.

and I like strangling people with my cords thank you.
I almost strangled myself with the corded version! I was playing Mario and got soooo damn excited and started whipping my arms around, next thing I know, Jack Thompson was standing next to me telling me how Mario kills children......weird
Everything I type is a lie! (OMG devil sentence)
Seriously though I give this a huge meh as I hate batteries.
New high tech Ninja weapons perhaps?
Seriously, you should have gotten one of these instead. I love my Penguin United Wii Remote charger, and I would recommend it to everyone on Destructoid!

I give this an 11/10! There are no shitty grip things! And it has sound.
@Bahamut Where did you get the wireless sensor bar? I am very interested.
The last thing I bought from Nyko want not even an electronic, it was a DS case and the stitching broke in like 2 - 3 weeks not not mention that felt CHEAP. Im not even going to mention PS2 controllers... Personally Ill just stay away from anything Nyko.
I don't know of any games where I use only the nunchuk and not the Wiimote, but I can think of a few hundred games where I use only the classic controller and not the Wiimote. So why should I be tied to the Wiimote for those?
especially to pay that much to do so
For your sake I would hope you would have access to better weapons than the Nunchuk should the time ever come.
