Wireless Wii Nunchuck From Zappies
Toy and gadget maker Zappies has announced a wireless nunchuck for the Wii - just in time for Samba de Amigo. Plug a smallish extender into your Wiimote and a slightly largerish receiver onto the end of the nunchuck (largerish, I say, because it includes room to store the nunchuck's cord) and you're good to go.
A built-in Li-ion battery with USB cable for recharge prevent the need for batteries (while adding another thing for you to recharge), and an LED and "remote power button shut off" round out the feature set.
Unfortunately, the Zappies site is a total trainwreck, and they only quote prices to registered trade partners - which means you'll either need a small company or foreknowledge of where one might purchase this otherwise-interesting product. That's the sort of thing you'd think they'd put in the press release, no? It exists after le jumpe.

I am pretty sure I saw this at my local gamestop. It was like $20 I think, which seemed really high considering...
