Selected User Reviews For Nintendo Wii Remote Plus - Blue

I Had No Idea There Was Any Room for Improvement in My Frisbee Golf Game! My Wii is one of my favorite games, and I play it frequently
5/5

The Wii Fit Plus and the Resort Game are both in my possession. I used to have two of the older style remotes, but one of them died early on, so I've been living with just one for the past three years. Gaming was enjoyable, and frisbee golf is a popular pastime, but two-person games always appeared to be a fun way to mix in some friendly competition. I came across these remotes that combine the remote and the television into one unit and read some reviews. Everyone seemed to like them, so I figured I'd give them a shot since I was in desperate need of a new remote. I'm glad I took the chance! All of the positive things said by others are true, and then some. These are simpler to connect to the Wii system, and their action is more responsive to your movements, resulting in higher scores and more enjoyment. Their battery life appears to be better as well, and I've left them on batteries because I'm still using my original batteries, which are still reading full charge, and someone plays this thing for at least 30 minutes, if not more, almost every day. The constant interruption in games caused by the old remotes trying to reorient themselves was one of the most vexing problems we had with them. That issue is no longer an issue. I strongly advise you to use these to improve your game.

Wii- a fantastic blue When one of our originals broke, we decided to replace it with this one
5/5

I'm not sure what to make of them. It's nice that the motion plus module is now built-in, allowing us to return to the shorter remote (which is the same size as the original remotes without the motion plus module attached). For a bit of variety, the colors are also quite nice. They work perfectly with the induction charger we already have. They also come with their own protective covers (clear silicon). br>br>The only drawback I can think of is that these genuine Nintendo brand ones are still quite pricey. I noticed knock-offs as well. Now is the time to get your hands on some (non-alcoholic) knock-offs. nintendo brand), but they're always around $40.

Wii Motion Plus Controller is a fantastic controller
5/5

This Blue Wii Motion Plus Controller was recently purchased for use with my Wii U, and it appears to be working perfectly! I chose the Blue version only because it was slightly less expensive. br>br>Previously, all of the Wii Remotes I had owned were the older model "original" type of Wii Remote. So this is my first time using a Wii remote with Motion Plus functionality. br>br>It appears to work well and responds quickly, and I am very pleased with it. br>br>I purchased this controller because I required a Wii remote with Motion Plus capabilities in order to play certain games.

That's fantastic, but there's one small snag
4/5

The blue Wii Remote Plus does what it's supposed to do, but there's one catch: According to three sellers I spoke with, many of the controllers for sale appear to be Japanese. The inside of the battery cover revealed this to me. A Japanese Wii Remote Plus, on the other hand, would work flawlessly with a North American Wii. If you buy them here, just keep in mind this small caveat.

It is a hit with my son
5/5

My kids love having "their own" remote, so I'm glad there are now color options for the controllers. I've even made myself a pink one! br>br>I only get Nintendo brands because I'm not sure how reliable third-party copies are. If you're buying something on the internet, stick with the brand to ensure compatibility. If you're dealing with a retailer, you can always go into the store and discuss the issues, whereas you can't do so over the internet. It's a tad more difficult.

Having purchased several "Nintendo" remotes on Amazon, I've learned that knowing whether you're getting a genuine Nintendo product or a knockoff with a Nintendo sticker on it is a bit of a crapshoot
5/5

My most recent purchases were knockoffs, and they frequently lose Wii connection. It's the real deal with this one. It works just as well as the standard white Wii remotes. I would definitely buy from them again.

It's compatible with the Wii's first generation
5/5

With our old Wii console, it works perfectly. There were no syncing instructions in the box, but I found a YouTube video and was up and running in under two minutes. When the original remote died, this one became a lifesaver.

The Official Wii Remote Plus, with MotionPlus INSIDE, in Blue, is well worth the effort
5/5

This updated remote improves the gaming experience noticeably, and it's great that it's compatible with both Wii and Wii U. The difference between the standard controller and this advanced version is immediate and obvious, making it even more enjoyable. It completely transforms an old game into something new, especially with the vibrant blue color, which looks even better in person.
