1.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, poorly executed, June 27, 2008

This review is from: Nyko Wireless Kama for Wii (Accessory)

I really wanted to like the Kama. I primarily bought it to play the boxing minigame in Wii Fit. The first time I tried it with Wii Fit it was slow and sluggish. The hits seemed to be a fraction of a second behind half the time. Often time the delay was the difference between a perfect hit and a hit, sometimes it was so bad the hit didn't register. I love the concept of a true wireless nunchuck adapter, and the feel and weight of this product felt great to me. But, I can't give anything more than 1 star to a product which simply fails to perform it only function no matter how good it looks or feels. I can't recommend this product at $15 let alone at $35. Wait for the next version or an official product from Nintendo.

This review is from: Nyko Wireless Kama for Wii (Accessory)

Let me say from the start that the only reason I purchased this was to play the boxing games, like Wii sports boxing. Those who are avid players of these games are aware of how frustrating it can become when you're really into the game and find yourself limited in your motion by the two remotes being tethered so close together. I have not found this to be a problem with any other games that I've played so far, only with the boxing games. For this purpose I have found this device to be great! I love being able to make several right crosses or uppercuts without worrying about the nunchuck or the remote being pulled to the point of breaking one or the other. I have found this wireless nunchuck to be very responsive, well, at least AS responsive as the tethered nunchuck. Overall, this has definitely added to my enjoyment of the boxing games and I recommend it fully. Five stars for performance, four for battery life.

2.0 out of 5 stars Twice The Wireless, But Not Sturdy Enough, May 16, 2008

This review is from: Nyko Wireless Kama for Wii (Accessory)

Since the Nintendo Wii came out many gamers have anxiiously been awaiting new ways of playing their favorite games, without the cord from the original Wii Nunchuck. For Nyko, the third-party company they did try to come up with that solution with their wireless Kama Nunchuck add-on. While the concept is clever, sadly the battery dies down very easily after only a few uses. On top of that, it doesn't respond as well to top notch games like Super Mario Galaxy and Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess. At around $35, it just doesn't seem to work as well out well for anyone who has the Nintendo Wii nunchuck add-on. I really suggest you stay with the one that came with the Wii, and just hope that Nintendo can make a wireless Nunchuck that works better.
