The '''Nunchuk''' (model number RVL-004) is a controller attachment for the [[Wii Remote]], and it is packaged with every [[Wii]]. ItA Nunchuk connects to thea Wii Remote via a cord, and its appearancename whileis attachedderived resemblesfrom the weapon {{wp|nunchaku}}, which it resembles while attached. A Nunchuk featureshas an analog stick and two trigger buttons: a rectangular Z {{button|wii|Z}} and a smaller circle-shaped C {{button|wii|C}}. AMuch Nunchuklike iscontrollers packagedfor withthe every[[Nintendo 64]] and the [[WiiNintendo GameCube]], movement of the Nunchuk's analog stick is restricted within an octagonal consolearea. It works in tandem with the main controller in many games, including some [[Wii U]] ones, and for some Wii games require the Nunchuk is required to be connected. Like the Wii Remote, the Nunchuk also provides accelerometer for three axis motion-sensing and tilting, but does not have a speaker, a rumble function, or a pointer function like the Wii Remote does.

In one conference, it was stated that [[Retro Studios]] helped design the Nunchuk because the Remote on its own would not be able to play ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. In the game, [[Samus Aran]]'s movement is controlled via the joystick, and the C button allows her to morph in and out of [[Morph Ball]] mode. The Z button locks Samus' point of vision, or locks onto an enemy target if one is in Samus' view. The Nunchuck is also used to fire the [[Grapple Lasso]], by casting the NuchuckNunchuk forward to Grapple a target, and by flicking the Nunchuk backwards to remove the target. This is used to remove a variety of obstacles, including shields, debris and other things.
