I bought this nunchuck as my fourth nunchuck. This one definitely feels cheaper than the Nintendo product, but works just the same. The Joystick like part wiggles a bit. I would probably not buy this as my #1 and #2 nunchuck. But in the rare cases that I have 4 controllers with nunchucks going, it works just like the Nintendo brand nunchuck. -- Flimsier than the Nintendo Nunchuck
The Nun-chuk purchased from Amazon was a waste of money and time and it was not made by Wii. It was a knock off. It does not respond to the Wii games. We had to go purchase one from Walmart -- Amazon Nun-chuk
The first thing that caught my eye was the generic packaging with broken English. "Perfectly fit a player's hand". "Prent slip". "Wii Wired Nunchuka". There is no company name or address to be found on the box or cheap instructions. Speaking of the instructions, the nunchuck is pictured on the cover page, but the instructions are actually for the remote, which comes with "ramble". Interestingly, one of the precautions says "Don't dismantle the game controller without permission." Permission from whom? Like I said, there is no company name, address, phone number, or website listed.
Okay, so what about the actual nunchuk? Well, it looks exactly like the original, except for the Nintendo logo, of course. It's functional, but it feels a little stiff. The analog sensitivity seems a hair off. For instance, I tested it playing Super Mario Galaxy 2, and it was a bit harder to move it just enough to make Mario walk instead of run. You also have to press the 'Z' button in the middle to make it work, whereas on the original you could press it towards the back without a problem. Strangely, unlike others have reported, it worked fine with the Wii Motion Plus and Wii Sports Resort.
Overall, I'd say it's worth the cheaper price if you're willing to adjust to the slight differences. But if you demand top quality and ease of use, stick with Nintendo's. -- Functional, but don't expect Nintendo quality
This third party nunchuk controller seems to work for a couple of Wii games that I tried (de Blob, Metroid Prime Trilogy), but only worked intermittently with EA Sports Active (the nunchuk would work for some exercises, but not for others, running being a prime example).
Also, the controller did not work at all with Wii Sports Resort, which requires that the Motion Plus addon be attached to the Wii remote.
Long and short, this controller seems to work ok with most Wii games, but be careful if you're getting this for Motion Plus games. -- Ok for Wii games, might not work with Wii Motion Plus games.
Sometimes you have to remove it and reinsert it mid-play to get it working right. Other than that, it's worth what you pay for it. -- Had some problems...
