Holy fuck, does Nintendo not corner the market on fleecing their customers with accessories? I bought a controller for $50 (part of WiiPlay) and I still have to buy that analog nunchuk thing for another $20. Like you can own a fucking controller and not have the goddam analog. What a bunch of dirty motherfuckers.

On a sidenote the system beats the snot out of the competition. It's FUN. Something a million more World War 2 FPSs just can't fucking top.

The weapon is called "nunchaku". Is it that difficult to spell? Blame the Ninja Turtles if you wish, but I knew how to spell it since I was a kid.

"nunchuk" sound like Chuck Norris dressed as a nun. And even in that outfit he would roundhouse you to oblivion.

"Nunchaku" is a transliteration rather than a translation anyway. Eastern languages do not make the phonetic jump into western languages very well. Remember that the capital of China used to be known as Peking in the West.

My brother's girlfriend works the returns counter at Walmart. Somebody returned an unopened box and she stored it away for us.

Blame Nintendo, they trademarked the name NUNCHUK for the piece. Then again blame the asshats at IGNorant.com as they started calling it, and then Nintendo stole the name because the fanboys made it stick and trademarked it.

Damn fine system though, and actually the WW2 game on it plays a like a fucking dream...nicer than a mouse and keyboard, and makes the dual analog days even a larger joke.

COD3 on Wii maybe a rush job as far as the visuals go being between the xbox and 360, but does the control ever make the game.
