If you haven't ran into the issue of the Nunchuck cable slapping you in the arm, or the controller getting tangled up with the Nunchuck, consider yourself lucky.

Nintendo hasn't solved the problem yet, but Nyko has, and the peripheral was well received at CES, and even won one of their major honors.

"The nomination for CNET's 'Best of CES' award was an honor in itself, but taking home the award for the gaming category is an even greater privilege," said Chris Arbogast, Director of Marketing at Nyko Technologies. "Winning this prestigious award showcases how highly consumers and the tech community think of our commitment to advancing gameplay technologies."

"Chosen from hundreds of products at CES, it demonstrates the creativity, excellence and vision that sets the standard in gaming," said Jai Singh, editor-in-chief of CNET and senior vice president for Content Development. "The 'BOC' awards brings together the top consumer electronics that will impact the coming year for consumer electronics."

Nyko hasn't announced an exact release date yet, but have gone on record as saying that it will be released before the end of the first quarter.
