When I first heard about the Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller, my thoughts immediately turned to one man:  Bruce Lee. Without a doubt, the Jeet-Kun-Do founder and martial arts movie legend was the single most important figure in popularizing nunchuks worldwide.  Bruce was seen beating the crap out of hoards of one-at-a-time attackers in all but one of his films.  Before the world had seen Enter the Dragon, nunchuks were just another totally inefficient Okinawan weapon that had no chance against stuff like swords and spears.  But by God, they looked cool!

The saddest thing about the Wii nunchuk controller is that there are no nunchuk games for the Wii!  How badass would a Bruce Lee game be where you got to twirl your controllers around like the name implies you should?  Tell me that wouldn’t move a billion units (you can’t; it would).  Nintendo may have missed their window, too:  Thanks to the Z-Chuk wireless nunchuk controller, there’s no “chain” attaching your controllers anymore.  Just like real nunchuks, the wired nunchuk controller proved to be a short-lived stupid idea.

After all, what are nunchuks with no chain?  Sticks, my friend.  Sticks.
