[+] 10.0 The Wii Remote Controller - wireless technology at its best
I love my Wii remote controllers. I have three of them. The first two came with my Wii, and the third came with my Wii Play.

As far as batteries are concerned, rechargeable batteries are good. The charge station from Nyko is better.

Have a look at the photo of the product on this page. See the clear plastic case the remote is in? That's known as a remote jacket. You can order those, as well as replacement straps, on the nintendo website. Both can be had for free.

On a whole, the Wii remote controller outranks the controllers from Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo Entertainment System many times over.

[+] 10.0 WII for Adults
The additional wand works great. You must syncronize the wand to the controller before you can use it. I finally had to read the instructions. After this it worked just fine!

[+] 8.0 Control
I think these things are way to expensive, but they sure are worth it. I love sitting back on my butt where ever and having a fun time without any restrictions.

[+] 6.0 Somewhat Useful
The Wiimote is somewhat useful, except for Smash Brothers. Then it is a suitable handicap for professional and semi-pro players vs. casual players.
Reviewer [A3OUS304PK5WIV] | Date [October 29, 2008]
[+] 10.0 Industry Standard; ignore at your peril.
The Nintendo Wii Remote (Wiimote) is the standard for this console. No known problems with the controller. And the buttons are exactly as you expect; you can get on with playing the game without being distracted by buttons that are marginally different.

The large rubber padding can be a nuisance; either when you have to change the batteries, or when you want to connect the rechargable batteries to the charger. (And how come the Nunchuck doesn't need any protection, in comparison.)
But discard the protection at your peril; my son has already broken one without the rubber covering.

[+] 8.0 Awesome Remote.
I actually don't own a Wii -- I use this as a combination Bluetooth/IR remote for my OSX based home theater PC. It works wonders in that sense and provides a flexible, powerful controller for my system. Only problems now are with networked media playback software on the Mac. Also, it kind of eats batteries, so get a charger.

[+] 10.0 Great addition to Wii
A second Wii controller is a perfect addition to Wii. Even simple games like bowling and tennis are much more enjoyable. My wife and I are able to actually play tennis against each other, and when bowling, we're not endlessly handing the controller back and forth.
Reviewer [A3BRWXRY9SM0V6] | Date [September 28, 2008]

This is a great controller. My kids love it. It has a good strap and works like a charm.
Reviewer [A14CLGIEIYN2WQ] | Date [September 9, 2008]
[+] 10.0 Great Fun!
Very easy to use. You have to use it like you are actually playing the game.
Installing the batteries/battery packs are a little hard to snap into place and the compartment lid is hard to remove but with a little effort can be done. It's a great family unit! It gets your heart pumping!
Reviewer [A2THTC9GLIJKJ3] | Date [September 9, 2008]
[+] 8.0 Excellent just like the one that comes with the Wii
This controller is just like the one that comes with the Wii in the original box with the clear grip that fits great in your hand. Works great!

[+] 10.0 Second Wiimote Doubles the Fun!
I bought this as a second Wiimote to the one that came with the unit. It's absolutely necessary to play MarioKart, tennis, and many others. I'm glad i got it and it works great. One footnote......I still need a second nunchuck to play boxing (and probably other games) so keep that in mind. Also, you don't need a wheel to play MarioKart. I never use it. I just hold the Wiimote horizontal.

If you have litle kids at home, dont wait more and buy them a wii, fun for all the family. I'm a 32 years old dad, and we are very happy with it. The controller works very good.
Reviewer [A1U3HFC0WDQTH0] | Date [July 1, 2008]
[+] 10.0 Never want to go back to classic controllers.
The Wiimote is an amazing controller. It might be a little expensive but in my book its worth it. It is epsecially fun when you have a FPS(first person shooter)Like metroid prime 3. I promise you once you play a FPS with a Wiimote you will never want to go back to a classic controller. This is not all of the controller though the other half ,for more complicated games, is the nunchuk that plugs into the bottom of the Wiimote or you can get a wireless nunchuk but thoughs are expensive. There is also the classic controller for old games you can get of off the Wii shop channell although you wont need that unless you by those old games.

wii remotes are still pretty cheap compared to how cool they are, and actually durable thanks to the plastic bumper guard!

The strap was twisted but that really doesn't matter.

[+] 6.0 Didn't last very long.
I had to buy a replacement controller after 6 months because the first one completely died. That's pretty disappointing especially since it wasn't heavily used, hopefully that's not the norm.

[+] 6.0 Good not great
The controller is good but when using the nun-truck with it it gets combersome even for storage. Sure you can get a wireless Nun-truck but it will cost you 100 dollars.

[+] 10.0 Good Value and Good Product
Wii Remote Controller

Good remote and it works well! (as expected)

I had no problems whatsoever.

An excellent item to buy if you need to purchse additional Wii Remotes, or if you find yourself needing a replacement remote for your older one.

[+] 10.0 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!

[+] 10.0 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.

[+] 10.0 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.

[+] 10.0 Wii Controller-Works Great
Not much to say--needed a second Wii controller, so I searched the web and found Amazon had the best deal, plus no tax and free shipping. The thing came quickly, and works great.

[+] 10.0 Worth it
There hasn't been a dull get together since I got the 3 extra controllers for the Wii. Every time we have a blast with Mario Party, Wario Ware, Wii Sports, and Brawl.

[+] 10.0 great package of cheap sensors!
IR tracker works. MS BlueTooth stack does not accept the HID data, but
3rd party Toshiba stack does.

I haven't tried to work with the accelerometers or buttons yet, but I hope more
people find neat uses for this low-cost sensor suite!
Reviewer [A24DKP4BHM5ZII] | Date [April 7, 2008]
[+] 10.0 A necessity
What's there to say about the Wii remote? It's really priced right for all the entertainment it provides. The more people playing the more fun you'll have.
Reviewer [A3A204M2ULM9JJ] | Date [April 4, 2008]
[+] 10.0 Amazing - these are truly revolutionary!
I'm one of those unfortunate souls who lack hand-eye coordination and as a result, usually do very poorly with handheld video games and controllers.

This however, actually gives even disadvantaged folks like me a fighting chance. Not anyone has the nimble thumbs necessary to move a keypad and click buttons but just about anyone (hey even my 2 yr old can bowl now) can handle this!

Get yourself a slick little silicone glove for it, and you'll wonder what took you so long to get one of these!
Reviewer [A1OKMWKTNUJ6L2] | Date [March 16, 2008]
[+] 10.0 The Wii Remote is great!
If you have a Wii already, I can't really say much that you don't already know. Having multiple remotes allows you to not have to keep passing a single one around when you have friends over who want to play, and I always have someone coming over any time I turn it on.
Reviewer [A1BP0F8V9L639Z] | Date [March 6, 2008]
[+] 10.0 Very Durable
Wiimotes are great. They're fun and very durable.

While playing tennis with a friend, the Wiimote flew out of his hand at a very high speed and smashed into the wall. We thought for sure that it had shattered and exploded.

It didn't. What we saw was th battery cover flying off and the batteries flying out. They were scattered far across the room, but the Wiimote did not crack and worked perfectly afterwards. We're so glad he didn't hit my dad's new tv.

I'd still recommend getting the free covers from nintendo.com
