I can't add much to the other reviews. I ordered late afternoon and it arrived 9.00 the next day - they must have run to the post box with it. Brillianrt service

"Good price, shame can only buy 2"

Would have given 5 stars, except for the fact supply has been limited to 2. While I understand steps have to be taken to stop unscrupulous 'individuals' selling for profit, what about us Wii newbies who want 3 extra remotes for some 4 player fun?

"Unbelievably good"

This was the first time i was buying anything off this site and i was completely blown away by the prices and special offers. I ordered this remote and was pleasently surprised by how quick it was delivered to me. It was quick, easy and at a very low price. Had no problems with it at all.

I would recommend this product and, overall, i would recommend this site to anyone and everyone. I will undoubtedly be ordering my games from here aswell!

10/10

"Fantastic service & great pr"

Shopped around before I found this remote at a great price with free delivery. I ordered it at 5.27pm on the Monday and it arrived on Tuesday at 8.30am. It even comes with its own batteries and rubber case. Fantastic service and well worth it to get another remote so we can have four-play :-)

"Awesome"

The Wii Remote Controller is shaped like a standard TV remove, and has motion sensing ability. You wave it around, and your on-screen character waves their wand!

This isn't an add-on controller - this is the actual, standard controller that most if not all games on the Nintendo Wii use as their primary control unit. There is also a "nunchuck" that can be used in your off hand, but many games don't use the nunchuck.

The aim of the Wii was to make gaming as simple and intuitive as possible for the casual non gamer. Pretty much every person with a TV is comfortable using a TV remote. You point, you click. The Wii Remote Controller works in the same fashion. The motion sensors know what you are doing with the remote. If you're playing a baseball game, you swing at the ball. If you're playing a bowling game, you bring your arm back and swing it forward. Everything "makes sense". A sword swing? A light saber battle? Just move your arm and the character does the same thing.

There are only two buttons that really matter. There's an A button on the front that you push for most operations. There's also a trigger underneath that is the B button. Depending on the game, they will have you use one or the other button. There are also a few other buttons for more complex gaming. There's a D-pad. A "home" button lets you go instantly back to the main Wii menu if you're tired of playing. There's a plus and minus button, a 1 and 2 button. There's even a power button. You don't have to walk over to your Wii any more to turn it on or off. Just hit the power button on the remote and you're all set.

The remote runs on two AA batteries, so there's no USB plugging in or charging up, as with the other systems' remotes. You do get a wrist strap, though, so the Wii remote doesn't fly out of your hands while you're doing a super powerful golf swing.

There's even a speaker in the remote! This is great if you're playing a game against another player. Say I'm boxing my boyfriend and I am the winner. *My* remote says that I triumphed, to me. Neat!

I definitely love the Wii remote controller. It's light, it's super easy to use, it's intuitive and I can just pop batteries into it when it runs out, instead of having to wait for a recharge. Highly recommended. Just note that if you want to play a game that needs a nunchuck as well, that you have to buy that separately.
