Product Description
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 outcome is the Wii Remote. Nintendo fused the familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology to come up with an input device for the ages!Sporting the size of a traditional remote control, the wireless Wii Remote is a multifunctional device that is limited only by the game designer's imagination. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket you swing with your arm. In a driving game, it serves as your steering wheel. For first-person shooters, the Wii Remote acts as your weapon that you point at an enemy. The list of potential uses goes on and on.In addition to its pointing and motion-sensing abilities, the Wii Remote also includes a speaker, rumble feature and expansion port for additional input devices, such as the Nunchuk.

pTo 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./p pbRevolutionary control/bbr 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./p table align=left width=250 cellpadding=10 tr tdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/WiiRemoteLogo.jpg" border=0 align=centerbrbrsmallibThe Wii Remote boasts impressive technology for such a compact package./b/i/small /td /tr /table table align=right width=150 cellpadding=10 tr tdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/WiiRemote1-sm.jpg" border=1 align=topbr br smallibAll Wii Remote buttons are accessible and responsive.

View larger./b/i/small/td /tr /table pbAs comfortable as it is functional/bbr pThe 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 iWii Sports/i./p pThankfully, battery life is excellent with the two included AA batteries, just as with the previous generation of Nintendo wireless controllers./p pbImmersive intelligence/bbr pAlong 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 iWii Sports/i. Overall, the physical design of the remote is extremely sturdy and of very high quality, ensuring countless hours of Wii gaming fun!p

 Over Priced..... But Neccasary January 8, 2009
The Wii remote controller is over priced but necessary. It does work fine, and is easy to use. I recomend that if this is the first controller you are buying, buy the Wii Play instead. However, if you already have the Wii Play, or are not interested in it, then buy it used if you can. While overpriced, it is necessary for the Wii.
does what it does January 8, 2009
Solid construction Have had 2 controllers for over a year and they take abuse well. I've seen them hit the wall or ceiling with the sheet rock taking all the damage. Went with 2 more for 4 player action
Christmas Gift January 8, 2009
I bought a WII for both my children and their families. They LOVE it. It was necessary to buy and extra nunchuh and controller.
Controller for More Players January 7, 2009
We got these so we can have more players. It's fun to play some of the games with 4 people!
well made and can take the punishment from a toddler January 7, 2009
My three year old loves to play Wii with his older brother and has abused our controller (and the numchuk) without any problems. The controllers are easy to use and well constructed! I especially love the rubber holder that surrounds the remote, makes it harder for my toddler to get to the battery compartment and makes it easier to hold for little hands.
