Is it still called a 'Nunchuck' if it's Wireless?


A few days ago (yes, I'm slow), accessory manufacturer Nyko unveiled a wireless Nunchuck controller for Wii, finally freeing everyone's left and right hands from the wire that had tethered them before.

Personally, I'm excited about this peripheral, although hesitant; I'm wondering what the price will be, though Nyko has typically kept things reasonable (wireless Sensor Bar notwithstanding). I'm also curious whether or not the 'chuck will have a rechargeable battery, since Nyko created the best and most popular rechargeable battery kit for the Wiimote...

What do you think? Will you pick up one of these bad boys when it releases? Or are you satisfied with three feet of cord between your hands?

Just for fun, try to imagine a Ninja using nunchaku with NO tether in between... sure to make you grin!
