Nyko Cord Free Wii Nunchuck Adapter
Nyko is set to launch a cords-free way to play with your Nintendo Wii remote and Nunchuck. This non lagging wireless adapter with allow up to 60 hours of gaming using AAA batteries. The Nunchuck's wire coils around the base of the unit and is secured by plasto-rubber flaps. The wireless connection is strong enough to extend 15 feet. Even Shaq would have a hard time breaking the connection.
The only downside we can foresee is the fact that the LEDs on receiver and adapter continue to flash together the entire time the system is in use, which can be a little annoying for users playing in a dark room where any light is noticeable. This annoying inconvenience can be simply rectified with a small piece of electrical tape.
This product will retail for $19.99. Then later this year, Nyko will also launch a stand-alone Wireless Nunchuck at $29.99.
Next, they need to solve the wired classic controller problem.

Kart Updates
April 24th is the official release date for Mario Kart Wii in Australia.
A new Wii Channel will launch on the day of the release, the Mario Kart Channel. Monitor your rankings against Mario Kart Wii players world wide, share Ghost Data, access a host of special features, and join a community of Mario Kart Wii racing fans from around the world.
Gamestop originally informed me that the U.S. version was releasing on April 2nd. But after further review it seems to the last slated release in the world. What is that all about? As of right now the U.S. should be receiving the game on Monday, April 28th. It looks likes it could be a 3 day weekend for some people!
I still have my fingers crossed that Nintendo plans to surprise the U.S. with the release of voice chat, but I won't hold my head in the toilet.

Text Chat!!! What The F%@k?!
Nintendo of Europe has just annoucement Mario Kart Wii will only support text chat in between matches, while waiting for the competition. It will not support keyboards either. Nintendo is playing it really safe and will only allow a pre-determined number of phrases to be used.
This is extremely weak. I hope they straighten this situation out before Mario Kart Wii releases in the U.S. If the hand held Nintendo DS can handle voice chat, then Nintendo Wii console should have all the capabilities and then some to support full online gaming.
It is not 1997!!! Nintendo, please don't let XBox360 continue with its online domination. Mario Kart Wii has a chance to be the greatest game of all time...don't mess it up. Please!!!!!!!!!!!
