| | The '''Nunchuk''' is the first controller attachment [[Nintendo]] revealed for the [[Wii Remote]] at the 2005 Tokyo Game Show. It connects to the Wii Remote via a long cord, and its appearance while attached resembles the nunchaku weapon, hence its name. It also resembles the middle handle of the [[Nintendo 64 controller]]. It features a control stick similar to the one found on the Nintendo [[GameCube controller]] and was intended to have two trigger buttons (a last minute modification changed the two triggers to one trigger and a "C" button, as described below). It works in tandem with the main controller in many games. Like the Wii Remote, the Nunchuk also provides an accelerometer for three-axis motion sensing and tilting, but without a speaker, a rumble function, or a pointer function. |

| The '''Nunchuk''' is the first controller attachment [[Nintendo]] revealed for the [[Wii Remote]] at the 2005 Tokyo Game Show. It connects to the Wii Remote via a cord that is about 3.5 to 4 feet (1 ~ 1.2 m) long. Its appearance while attached resembles the [[Wikipedia:nunchaku|nunchaku]]. It also features an analog stick similar to the one found on the [[Nintendo GameCube]] controller and two trigger buttons; a last minute modification changed the two triggers to one trigger and a "C" button. It works in tandem with the main controller in many games. Like the Wii Remote, the Nunchuk also provides accelerometer for three axis motion-sensing and tilting, but without a speaker, a rumble function, or a pointer function.<ref name="nunchuk_accel">{{cite web|url=http://www.st.com/stonline/stappl/press/news/year2006/t2031.htm|title=STMicroelectronics Drives Gaming Revolution with Nintendo's Wii|date=2006-05-09|accessdate=2006-05-12}}</ref><ref name="nunchuk_rumble">{{cite web|url=http://gonintendo.com/?p=7509|title=*RUMOR* The Wii Nunchuck rumble rumor surfaces again!|date=2006-10-28|accessdate=2006-11-16}}</ref>
| | ==Compatibility== |
| | When the Nunchuk is connected to a [[Wii Remote]], it provides another controller method for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', officially referred to as "Wii Remote + Nunchuk", sometimes shortened to "Wiichuk". Due to the Wii Remote returning as a compatible controller for {{forwiiu}}, the Nunchuk returned alongside it. However, the Wii Remote was dropped as a compatible controller for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', meaning the Nunchuk also did not return. |

| The two shoulder buttons, formerly named Z1 and Z2 respectively, had been reshaped and renamed since the Game Developers Conference. The circular top shoulder button, now called C, is much smaller than the lower rectangular shoulder button, now called Z. The C button is oval shaped, while the Z button is square.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/features/6151046/index.html|title=Hands-On with the Wii Controller|date=2006-05-12|accessdate=2006-05-12}}</ref>

| | ==In competitive play== |
| | While generally preferred to the Wii Remote by itself, the Wii Remote and Nunchuk is also an unpopular control scheme in tournaments. This is primarily due to its naturally higher input lag caused by the Nunchuk sending an input to the remote which then sends the input to the console. The wire connecting the remote and the Nunchuk is also often seen as clunky due to being able to get caught on certain items, ruining the concentration of the player and sometimes forcibly removing the controller from their hands. |
