THE BUZZ: Lucky Wii owners can now get a golden nunchuck, the perfect accessory for that golden Zelda Wii Remote. Well, at least in Japan they can.

As part of Nintendo of Japan’s Club Nintendo program, this week the company announced two new gifts for club members—one of which is that very gold-colored controller accessory. The cost of the controller? 600 Points.

EGM’s TAKE: I’m torn on if Nintendo will offer the golden nunchuck in America or not. Some of the Japanese gifts have made it over, and this seems like a gift that would go over incredibly well here in the States. On the other hand, Nintendo has offered controllers as gifts from Club Nintendo in Japan before, and not all of them (at least to my knowledge) have made it over.

What do you think? Would you like to see Nintendo bring this our way? Let us know in the comments below!
