Amazon Customer: The item is fine,
I just assumed it was a new in box item, I was incorrect, it came without a box or anything else, the item had signed of mild use (scuffs etc) but works perfectly fine.

ZachZach: The Nunchuk was very dirty, and I had to clean it up. Other than that it was in working condition.

Myke: I bought Super Mario Galaxy for our Wii U and needed the nunchuck controller. We had tried getting one off eBay but as usual, used is terrible. The nunchuck couldn't hold itself steady and was detected all over the place even when the remote was stationary. I wasn't sure if the one sold here was by Nintendo or a fake Nintendo account but we got lucky and got a solid remote. It works exactly as it should with the games that we have. Haven't had any problems thus far but will update as we continue to use it. We also bought the attached remote, which also works great. Both made by Nintendo.

I'd only suggest buying new and from Nintendo themselves. All the off brands always suck and never do a good enough job. In addition they always tend to wear out fast. It's just a normal remote, and works with WiiU. I'm not sure if it works with the regular Wii but i'd imagine it would. If you don't need to use the Nunchuck, I'd advise just using the Wii U pad. It's far better with the touch screen but when you play games with the nunchuck it's great. Also it's a good alternative to letting the kids use the Pad. If you don't want them messing it up and griming it up, they can use the remote...

Steve: I bought this directly from Amazon, and received a sealed new official Nintendo nunchuck. To summarize, I love the product.

A couple months ago I got Mario Galaxy 2 for my Wii U which requires a nunchuck. I didn't know how much I would want to play it so at first I went with a couple of the cheap knockoff nunchucks, which can be found in multi-packs for a fraction of the price of the official product. I could play the game with the generics, however the analog sticks were really terrible, almost impossible to do anything less then "full run", or "stop", and becoming loose over time.

Now, I absolutely love Mario Galaxy 2 decided to be a completionist with it, getting every last star. Getting sick of the sloppy control from the generic nunchuck, I bout the Nintendo official product. Although they look very similar it is like night and day, tight control with the superb analog stick, and instantly improved my game.

To summarize, a generic nunchuck might be ok to explore some otherwise unplayable games with your Wii U (example, some of the levels in Nintendo Land), but the official Nintendo nunchuck is a major improvement and well worth the extra cost if you are...

CherylB: Got this as a replacement accessory for my kids, when some of their stuff magically "grew legs and walked out the door" after a sleepover they had. Oh well, what are you gonna do? It was a good price, and I felt bad that they couldn't play most of the games they had without the nunchuk, so I gave in. They play all the time again(this is a good thing?) and it's holding up just fine. I'll watch it and them, like a hawk in the future too!

uberchemist: Before I　begin, let me just say that the Nunchuk that I received works fine (so far).

However, bear in mind that the source you receive your Nunchuk from will determine just how "genuine" it is. When I ordered mine, it was through a third-party vendor named "Pegasus Toys&Games" for $16.99. I see that, at the time of this posting, it is a different vendor. I am always concerned about getting genuine Nintendo accessories. In this case, I don't believe that is what I received. I won't go into too many specific details, but here's what I did:

I compared my original Nunchuk that shipped in the box with the console. If it was a true genuine product, everything should appear exactly the same. However, I found subtle to great differences in multiple areas with the controller I received. Take the cord as an example. One, there is a cable marking that identifies the quality/standards of the cable on the Nunchuk that I ordered; the original one is unmarked. Also, where the cable meets the base of the Nunchuk, there is a shorter length of the flexible section than on the original. Other differences, like the texture of the joystick and the pins inside the connector, make...
