Now Brits can Zap troublesome cords

Do wires make your life a living hell? Okay, so probably not, but if you are a bit tired of playing games with your Wii Remote tethered to a nunchuk, then peripheral manufacturer Zappies has a solution for you: its new Nunchuk Wireless Kit.

"But Greenhough, you deluded oaf," I hear you cry, "Such a device is already available, thanks to Nyko's very fine Wireless Nunchuk." You're absolutely correct, dear reader, but here's the thing: according to Amazon, Nyko's own wireless wonder doesn't release in the UK until May 25th, where it will sell for around £26. Conversely, Zappies' device is available in Britain (and only Britain) right here, right now for a more reasonable £20.

It works in much the same way as Nyko's model, with a wireless receiver that snaps into the bottom of your Wii Remote, and wireless housing for your Nunchuk and its obtrusive cord. Oh, and you'll get 20 hours from 2 AAA batteries. The only thing it lacks? The Wii Fanboy seal of approval.
