According to the latest news, Nintendo has sued Nyko, a gaming peripherals manufacturer over its ‘Kama Nunchuk’. The Kama Nunchuk is a wireless version of the Wii Nunchuk.
According to Nintendo, Nyko has violated two patents by introducing this peripheral. Nintendo’s patents regarding designs and trademarks on the name ‘Nunchuk’ are the ones that have been violated by Nyko’s Kama Nunchuk.

Nyko’s third party controller, wireless Kama Nunchuk is available in the US market at the price of $33.99 while the Nintendo’s Nunchuk is available for $19.99.
