Product Description:
The Wii Remote Controller makes gaming accessible to people of all ages and all abilities. Nintendo fused the familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology -- creating a multifunctional device limited only by the imagination. In a tennis game, it serves as a racket you swing with your arm. In a driving game, it serves as your steering wheel. For first-person shooters, the remote acts as your weapon that you point at an enemy. The list of potential uses goes on and on. Features expansion port for additional input devices, such as the Nunchuk controller

To make gaming as accessible to people of all ages and all abilities, Nintendo wanted to create a controller that was as inviting as it was sophisticated- the result is the Wii Remote. Nintendo fused the global familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology to come up with an input device that differentiates the Wii from any other console that has come before it.



Revolutionary control
Sporting the dimensions of a small traditional remote control, the wireless Wii Remote is a multifunctional device that is limited only by the game designer's imagination. The magic of the Wii Remote's design lies within; acellerometers inside the controller body measure movement in all directions and at all speeds. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket as you swing your arm for a long forehand or a quick and hard backhand. In a 4x4 driving game it serves as a steering wheel, allowing you to swerve to avoid obstacles or pickup power-ups. In first-person shooters, the Wii Remote acts as a firearm that you can point directly at an on-screen enemy. The list of potential uses is enormous, and the light weight of the Wii Remote allows gamers to play for hours without feeling fatigued.

As comfortable as it is functional


The Wii Remote is equally comfortable in right and left hands and houses just the right number of buttons for gaming- not so many that new players will get confused, but enough so that Wii games don't feel constrained. On the face of the remote are the D (or "plus") pad, a large "A" button which is used for major on-screen actions, and two small options buttons. Between the game buttons are a plus and minus buttons (which often act as "forwards" and "back"), as well as a "Home" button to engage the Wii home screen to change settings or check remote battery levels. On the back side of the controller is a trigger-like "B" button, perfect for timing releases of a bowling roll in Wii Sports.



Thankfully, battery life is excellent with the two included AA batteries, just as with the previous generation of Nintendo wireless controllers.



Immersive intelligence


Along the bottom of the Wii Remote, four blue LED lights indicate which player position the remote is currently set to. The controller automatically connects to the Wii console via Bluetooth wireless technology. Below the LEDs, an expansion port lets you connect a number of devices including the Nunchuck and Classic controllers for Virtual Console gaming (Virtual Console games and controller accessories sold separately). Other features of the Wii Remote include adjustable rumble force-feedback and a reinforced wrist strap to ensure safe use. A speaker inside the remote gives the player feedback about the strength of swings or the accuracy of their moves- such as realistic tennis noises as the "racket" connects with the ball in Wii Sports. Overall, the physical design of the remote is extremely sturdy and of very high quality, ensuring countless hours of Wii gaming fun!





Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ultimate Family Fun!
Definitely a must have to add additional players to your Wii Console. The Wii has the best family games, especially for the younger kids (under 13) and the Wii Remote makes it all possible, enabling you to use it as a bat, golf club, tennis racket, etc. I absolutely love mine!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Extra Controller for WII Games
Needed to add additional controllers for my Wii games. Have 4 grandsons and like all boys they want their own even at Grandpops house. Purchase price and shipping from Amazon.com were perfect. Great selection of all Wii software. Controllers work fine, boys are happy now.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nintendo makes quality products.
I have 4 remote controllers and have never had a problem. That's amazing considering all the shaking they get. 100% satisfied.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Wii Remote Controller
This product works perfectly. My sister was very excited to receive this as a gift.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Must Have
I hadn't played a video console since the original Nintendo but our friends got a Wii a while back. We played the game and I was hooked, mainly due to the innovative remote. You must have at least 2 for multi-player games and you'll want 4 so you don't have to share. Overall, a great remote for a great console. 5 stars for sure.
