Wireless Nunchuk wins top award
Published Friday, Jan 11 2008, 15:36 GMT | By David Gibbon

With many Wii users complaining about the wire connecting the Nunchuk to the Wii Remote, Nyko Technologies developed a Wireless Nunchuk allowing both controllers to be used wire-free.
The device, which uses a dongle that attaches to the bottom of the Wii Remote, features full accelerometer support for motion-based gameplay and is compatible with all games that require the Nunchuk attachment.
"The nomination for Cnet's Best of CES award was an honour in itself, but taking home the award for the gaming category is an even greater privilege," said Chris Arbogast, director of marketing at Nyko Technologies. "Winning this prestigious award showcases how highly consumers and the tech community think of Nyko's commitment to advancing gameplay technologies."
A Cnet spokesman added: "Winners are recognised as the hottest products in their respective technology categories for unmatched innovation, creativity and ability to excite consumers while helping them explore the digital world. Cnet's editors not only received and reviewed hundreds of entries, but also scoured the CES show floor for products to consider for the prestigious award."
According to its maker, the Wireless Nunchuk, which requires two AAA Batteries (included) for up to 30 hours of gameplay, will be available in the first quarter of 2008.
