Zelda Players Get Long Overdue Bling

Nintendo released a golden Wii Remote for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Yet, Skyward Sword isn’t only played with a Wii Remote. It’s played with a Nunchuk.

And now, Japanese Club Nintendo members can finally own one to go with their matching Wii Remote and gold Wii classic controller.

Earlier this year, Nintendo nixed the idea of a gold Nunchuk. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told Kotaku, “We looked into it. It was a little more bling than I think the average consumer was looking for.”

The average Nintendo consumer, sure, but not the average Club Nintendo member.

    Oh God, I just wet myself. I’m already rocking the Gold Wiimotes and the Gold classic controller pro and using it with a white nunchuk just irks me. Please please please, release one here.

      Zelda’s the girl, and she’s clearly pretty heavily into Link. In fact, most of the ladies in Skyloft seem to be.

          I’m not sure whether to award for being Captain Obvious, or the Crappy Grammar. How about gold for both?
