(+28rep)Do you NEED a nunchuck?!

[Ostinato]

Hi there.

I managed to get my hands on a new remote controller for a wii I am getting at christmas (so I can have 2 obviously) but this one wont have a nunchuck...

I presume you don't actually need one to play the games and stuff?! :S

Thanks...

[benjamin]

no, you don't.

[jesus]

you dont need one unless ur playing boxing or something coz it wont let you play without one i dont think

[benjamin]

you dont need one unless ur playing boxing or something coz it wont let you play without one i dont think
yeah, every other game that says you need one u dont
like need for speed, u can play with just the wii remote.

[Ostinato]

Cheers =)

[Juch]

As posted above, you don't really need it for most games but some games might need one..

[j]

Some games you do, some you don't ;)

[PaulMacC]

Some games but you can play 2 player on Super Monkey Ball, Tennis, Wario Ware, and tonnes more, like Galaxy

[Nemo]

Yeah you'll need one for galaxy and stuff like mario and sonic at the olympics, i suggest getting another one so you have 2 nunchucks and 2 wiimotes

[Ostinato]

Do you need one for super mario strikers?

[Nemo]

Do you need one for super mario strikers?Yup, you do :]

[GhostFace-]

you can look on the back of the wii game to see if that game needs a nunchuck, but for some games you only need a nunchuck for certain parts ex. wii sports, Raving Rabbits( idk wot that games called)

You dont :P

Once you are in game it says you can just use the wii remote

[Neversoft]

no, you don't.

Yes you do.

There are few games that don't need the nunchuck, such as Downhill Jam and Excite Truck, but most games do need it.

[You]

Yeah you do Allan, most critical piece of equipment for the Wii is the nunchuck! ;)

[Ostinato]

Okay thanks a lot -will give rep out soon :)

[j]

You need the nunchuck to move the people and stuff and I think the Wii remote is to shoot and such :D

[Nemo]

You need the nunchuck to move the people and stuff and I think the Wii remote is to shoot and such :D
for what?

for what?

Haha, exactly...

The remote and nunchuck are used for entirely different things dude. It's better replying if you actually have a Wii.

Lol so what is the answer then?! :s

[Shots]

Not at all, unless you're going to play games like

Boxing, Mario Olympics.
Games like that..

Super mario..i think you do.

[You]

Lol so what is the answer then?! :s
Basically, no you don't need it. Just check at the back of the game case to see if you need a nunchuck.

[Ugawa]

No you don't need one unless ur playin a different type of game like boxin or somethin

XX
Nia

[Shots]

get one..just incase.

[-Xiangu-]

some games require the nunchuck to play like boxing games and such. once you get your wii i think you should get a zapper

[Juch]

depends what games you intend to buy, it should say on the back of the wii game case if it requires one or not.

[Neversoft]

Lol so what is the answer then?! :s

I have already answered. :P You do need the nunchuck for some games, and don't for some others. What games are you planning on buying? I'll happily tell you if you need it or not. ;) It says on the back of the case of the game aswell. If I were you, I'd buy nunchucks aswell. You'll need them eventually and it's better to have them to play the Wii in its prime.

But that guy said you need a nunchuck to move your character and the remote is to shoot, which is only half true.

[Kardan]

Half of my games require it. For example, if you have a game in which you have a character and it can move in any direction, for example, mario strikers or super mario galaxy, then you'll need one. If you get what I mean. But if it's a game where you just point at the screen and wave it about, then no.

I reccomend getting one as soon as possible.

Downhill Jam. Character. Any direction. Doesn't need nunchuck.

[womanizer]

Mario olympics does not need one

[Nemo]

Mario olympics does not need oneit does for one or two of the games

Check on the back of the game packaging, Like ps2's have 1-2 players at the bottom, the wii has a symbol at the top, If you need a nunchuck, it will have what looks like a wii remote and a nunchuk, but in like a little cartoon blue shape..

see at the top its got what looks like a wii remote and next to it a nunchuck with a lead

Whereas this one, you can use a 'classic' controllter or just a wii remote, no nunchuk needed!
