Nintendo Remote Controller for Nintendo Wii

Nintendo Remote Controller for Nintendo Wii

Model number: RVLACW | SKU: 8054464

Break away from conventional gameplay with the wireless Remote for your Nintendo Wii. Not only will the freehand Remote offer you a greater range of motion than a traditional joystick, the highly receptive motion sensors contained inside will make your senses come alive. Performing everyday motions, such as swinging a bat or banging on a drum, suddenly make you the center of your favorite games. One of the most multifaceted devices to hit the gaming world, you can use the Remote as a sword in a swashbuckling pirate game, as a steering wheel in a racing derby and so much more. Equipped with Bluetooth technology, the wireless Remote Controller sends your actions to the Wii console from as far as 30' away, while using it as a pointing device can transport a signal from as far as 15' away. Up to four Wii remotes can be hooked up at once, so your friends can get in on all the fun. In addition to its pointing and sensory abilities, the Remote also includes a speaker, a rumble feature and an expansion port for additional input devices, such as the Nintendo Wii Nunchuk controller. The familiarity of a TV remote fuses with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology to bring you this input device for the ages.

The Key to the Wii   08/07/2008
By MrChugg

Pros: Smooth, and, well, cant live without it./
Cons: Expensive

"Ladies and gentleman, the only way to play the wii. It really is kind of unfair of how it costs so much. 40 would be more acceptable."

Don't mess with imitations!   08/05/2008
By Douglas from Columbia, SC

Pros: Well constructed, sensitive, long battery life.
Cons: Wish it were cheaper

"After burning my way through an aftermarket brand controller in less than a week, I wandered back to the store and bought the real deal. For great Wii play, you can't beat the quality, sensitivity and feel of the genuine Wii remote. Don't mess with the cheap stuff, get the right one first."

need it   08/02/2008
By Mallard from Maryland

Pros: makes the game
Cons: price

"The controller interface is what makes the Wii different from all other games. It's what allows you to simulate a real activity instead of just playing a video game. It levels the playing field. It's what allows an experienced bowler to compete at Wii bowl with an experienced gamer."

burns through batteries   07/27/2008
By Magic8ball

"this is a great product which you will probably need but if you are a ways away from the senser bar and since it is impossible to keep your hand perfectly steady it tends to shake the pointer on the screen. it goes through batteries fast but not as much if your not using the nunchuck. but it uses batteries fast because its wireless so its worth it and it doesnt use near as many batteries as my xbox 360"

Very good remote for the wii   07/09/2008
By gokuss4 from Myrtle Beach, South Caraliona

Pros: the new ones now include a remote jacket

"just purchased 2 remotes and they now include a jacket in the package. The old ones are still out there, but need to look for the ones that are enclosed in a box and on the back in the lower right hand corner, it will say "includes Wii remote jacket. The price is the same with or without the jacket."

Wiiperfect   06/22/2008
By AcesWild from Wisconsin

Pros: Intuitive - Responsive - Perfect Weight/Balance - Motion Sensitive
Cons: Difficult to Master

"As a console gamer who plays more PS3 than anything, this remote was a very difficult transition from the normal controllers that an Xbox or PS3 user would normally use. However, once I finally got it down, it becomes a natural feeling. Just point and click. The price isn't bad seeing as it is 10 bucks less than the other two. The actual motion sensing capabilities add a third dimension to the games. When I first got the Wii, I bought Tiger Woods '08 to go with it. Swinging the Wiimote like I would a club, and seeing the outcome on the screen just makes this gaming tool an ingenious design. Wii is a truly immersive world and the Wiimote is your key into it."

Easy to use   05/27/2008
By Married2Lori from Naples, FL

Pros: Extremely Intuitive
Cons: Limited Range

"This is the easiest controller I have ever used, which is why this is such a great system for the entire family. (Even people who rarely play video games.)

We have a large living room with a 55" television. We sometimes find that the controller is a little temperamental when at the other side of the room. (more than 20 feet away)

We have 2 wiimotes and 2 nunchucks. Some reviewers have indicated frustration that the nunchucks are sold seperately from the wiimotes. However, I haven't found any games yet that would use more than 2 nunchucks, although some games could use up to 4 wiimotes.

So I would buy them in pairs up to 2, and then stop buying nunchucks."

How can it be bad?   05/12/2008
By MarcR from Frederick, MD

Pros: It lets me play my wii! yay!
Cons: It costs money (that's really all I got for cons)

"Another 'MUST-HAVE' accessory if you plan on having more then one person play on the wii at a time.

I don't really know what else to say.

It does its' job, and it lets me play my wii games... which makes me very happy inside."

By jen411

Pros: you can play up to 4 players if you buy more!
Cons: none

"The wireless remote is a great plus for the wii! You don't need to plug it in your wii console, and the way it senses your movements are just phenomenal! But Don't buy this if you don't have a wii because it only works on the wii"
