Between the strategy buttons are a in addition and minus buttons (which often act as "forwards" and "back"), as well as a "Home" button to engage the Wii home screen to modify environments or check remote battery levels.

Authentic nintendo wii remote with cover 2010-03-07 |
| By Audrey (Iowa) |
| I believe I read some reviews saying these weren't authentic wii remotes, but they ARE and they work great ( exact packaging everything as the orginal, and we didn't forget because we got the wii plus extra remotes within a couple weeks of each other), just like our other two. I feel we got a great deal as we had to pay no tax or shipping which saved from buying from a store, which were OUT of the remotes. We recieved them in a timely manner. Nothing to complain about here! |
Wii Remote Controller 2010-03-06 |
| By Mrs. Margaret R. Baldwin |
| I purchased my Wii about 6 weeks ago and I love it. I have used it everyday since purchase. It makes my workout more like fun and not work. I recommend this type of workout for everybody. |
I got a pair of lemons.... 2010-03-03 |
| By Ayanami (Vermont) |
I purchased two new wii remotes directly from amazon.com. Buying directly from them, I just assumed I would get quality Nintendo wiimotes like the two I already have. I have a third party charging station with battery packs, so the first thing I did was grab a battery pack and stick it in one of the wiimotes. Doesn't work at all. Not even a light or a blink. Thinking my battery pack was dead, I put it in my older wiimote, and it started right up. Strike one against new wiimote.
So I put some regular batteries into the wiimote and it turned on. "Maybe Nintendo hates third party chargers now?" I think. I wave the wiimote at the screen and hear this strange clicking/rattling noise. It takes me several minutes to realize that this is the wiimote's "rumble pack" feature. A sickly, distracting death rattle that sounds and feels nothing like my old wiimote. Strike two.
So ignoring the rattle pack, I navigate a few menus. The cursor is shaking like I have Parkinson's or something. Games that require any combination of speed and precision are unplayable. I go to the wii system menu and adjust the sensitivity. Still no help. That's strike three.
I repeated all of the above steps with the second new wiimote. Exactly the same results. Two defective units.
I looked at a few websites detailing "counterfeit wiimotes" but I found none of the clues listed (counterfeits have subtly different buttons and labels). I can only conclude that Nintendo's QC department is lax, or they're cutting corners with (or maybe outsourcing) production now.
The wiimote itself gets two stars. It works, but poorly. Amazon.com gets five stars, even though they sent me a couple of rejects. Their return system is simple (even printed out a return label for me), I didn't have to pay return shipping, and I received a full refund less than a week after I dropped the box in the mail.
BOTTOM LINE: Won't work with rechargeable battery pack, rumble pack is all goofy, cursor is terrible. |
Regrettable experience with this seller 2010-03-01 |
| By Pachouco (Elmont, NY USA) |
| My experience with fridayplay (fridayplay I beilevee is the name of this seller). I bought 3 remote controllers. One of them was not working and still not working. I tried to contact the seller after I contacted a Nitendo technician who concluded that the remote was defective and inoperable. I never got a response from them up until now despite their claim of working with buyers to solve the issue or even refunding me the full amount paid for the defective controller. I submitted a complaint to Amazon with no success. I really regret having had to do business with this seller. How can I get my money back? |
FUN! FUN! FUN! 2010-02-21 |
| By Barbaral Howard (Columbus, OH USA) |
| WiiWhen I bought a Wii system I also purchased a second Wii remote controller. Good move on my part. My husband and I "bowl" several games every day and it is convenient for each of us to have our own controller. I would recommend that anyone purchasing the Wii system consider the purchase of a second controller. |
