Amazon is currently stocking Wii Nunchucks

as luck would have it, i was christmas shopping yesterday and i stopped at fye o get some dvds, and behind the counter they had a nunchuck, so i bought that for myself, and as an added bonus, it was only 17.98, $2.01 cheaper then normal.

Nintendo must be making a considerable amount of profit off of controllers. Wii console = $250. Four Wiimotes plus Nunchucks = $80 (4 x Nunchucks) + $160 (4 x Wiimotes) = $230. Not to mention you’ll need the other classic controllers for some of the older games.

These controllers are ridiculously priced.

Nope… Amazon’s out. It’s up to $48 from amazon merchants.

Derek, your math is off slightly. The Wii console comes with a wiimote and a nunchuck, so if you want 4 total players, you need to purchase 3 extra sets at $60 (3 x Nunchuk) + $120 (3 x Wiimote) = $180. (The ability to store Miis in the remote’s memory suggests that Nintendo is hoping people will bring their remote over to a friend’s house for team play. Wishful thinking on Nintendo’s part, I suspect.)

I haven’t seen anything too compelling on the Wii yet for 4 players. Two, definitely, but not 4. Maybe when Super Smash Bros comes out…

Good point Stan, I didn’t take into consideration the fact that the Wii comes with one set. Does anyone else think that these remotes should have shipped as rechargeables?
