...This time? The Nintendo Wii's Nunchuck controller.
The Story
The Wii Nunchuk is the little brother of Nintendo's Wiimote controller. It was announced in 2005 to be the first controller attachment to be used in conjunction with the Wiimote. It works by simply plugging it into the bottom of the Wiimote through a 1 metre long cord. Once plugged in the Wiimote and Nunchuk together resemble a nunchaku, so this is where the name comes from.

Advantages: Adds/enhances game play Disadvantages: none
We LOVE the Nintendo Wii. The Nunchuk controller is needed for certain games such as Super Mario Galexy, or Wii boxing etc. Not only does it have a joystick but can be shaked for added moves to a game.

The Wii Nunchuk Controller builds on the simplicity of the Wii Remote and goes an extra step to meet the needs of specific types of games. The Nunchuk connects to the Wii Remote at its expansion port and is used in conjunction with the Wii Remote. Along with the analog stick, the motion-sensing Nunchuk also contains two buttons positioned for quick access. Because the Wii Remote and Nunchuk are only relatively dependent on each other, players are free to hold them in whichever hand is most comfortable.
