subject: Nintendo Wii's Nunchuck And Wiimote [print this page] So with the WiiMote requiring only one game to play, what are you supposed to do with the other?
The Nintendo Wii package also comes with an attachment for the WiiMote, called the 'Nunchuck', which resembles the Kung-fu weapon munchaku. Connected to the remote via a small cord, the device has a little joystick along with two buttons, and acts as the movement controlling analogue quick in a lot games, especially first person shooters.
Like the Nintendo Wii Remote or WiiMote, the Nunchuck also provides a three axis accelerometer for motion sensing and tilting, but without a speaker, a rumble function, or a pointer function.
Powered by two AAA batteries, the device's battery will last as long as the WiiMote's.
And speaking of Nintendo Wii Remote's built in speakers and cool effects - For example, av a demonstration, a girl who used the WiiMote to imitate the action of pulling back a bow and shooting an arrow at a target heard the sound of the bow and arrow first erupting from the Nintendo WiiMote speaker. It slowly died down while getting louder from the TV speakers, as the arrow "Travelled" the distance from the girl to the TV.
Also in games such as No More Heroes, the WiiMote speaker is used to answer cell phone calls, where once you hold the controller up to your ear, a message starts playing from the tiny speaker.
The Wii Remote can also be turned horizontally and used like a NES controller, or in some cases like (Excite Truck) a steering wheel. It is also possible to play a single player game with a WiiMote in each hand, as in the 'Shooting Range' game contained in Wii Play.
