Wii Remote MotionPlus Bundle - Black

The Wii motionplus bundle is a good deal for two reasons: 1) It saves you money on 3 items that would cost a lot more if each one was bought separately 2) The black remote makes its white predecessor pale in comparison in the looks department. The motionplus add-on is a must if you play games such as Wii sports resort, EA sports active, Wii fit etc. that rely almost completely on motion tracking for gameplay. Playing fitness games without them can be frustrating when you are waving your controller frantically trying to get a response, while your character is in a world of their own. However, you can easily get away without the motionplus in other games like Metroid or The Legend of Zelda, but it's still a welcome addition nonetheless. The controller works fine and has given me absolutely no problems so far. If you're considering skipping the motionplus to save some money, my advice is not to do so. Most of the newer games are almost required to have the motionplus and it seems to be a trend that will continue well into the future as long as the Wii console remains viable. Bottom line is that this is a worthwile investment if you need an extra controller for your Wii console.

I had been waiting for a different color remote for a long time. When the black one became available I wanted to purchase it right away. Everyone fights for the black controller now. It is the sweetest looking one even though the only difference is the fact that it is black and the sleeve is also black. The greatest thing is the controller comes with the motion plus basically for free since a standard controller is the same price. You also get the standard black sleeve for when you are not using the motion plus. Using the motion plus is noticably different than if you use the controller by itself. The movement response is quicker and more accurate than with the controller alone. As far as battery life, I have used the controller for also a month now and have not had to change the batteries even after 24+ hours of use. Excellent buy.

There's not a whole lot to say about this controller set that you wouldn't already know from previously using the standard white controllers. I will, however, say that the black glossy finish on the face of the controller is extremely attractive, and brings a whole new life to the Wii controller. This combo pack includes the MotionPlus attachment which, while not currently supported by a lot of games, will be seeing more and more use in the near future. It also includes 2 opaque black Nintendo branded rubber "jackets" for the controller (1 for use with the MotionPlus, 1 without), a black wrist strap, and 2 AA batteries (a nice little bonus in a world where companies are usually cutting corners). Like all Nintendo hardware products, this thing is built like a rock. While using the rubber jackets is not required, it will help to extend the life of these controllers even further (although I'm still using my two white controllers that I got on launch day for the Wii, never put them in a jacket and they're going strong). My biggest complaint is that if Nintendo is selling this product as a bundle, why can't they simply build that MotionPlus functionality into the original controller's form factor? The added width from the MotionPlus attachment forces you to remove the attachment whenever you want to play games that require you to hold the controller horizontally, like New Super Mario Bros. It just seems silly to feel like I always have to swap the attachments on and off whenever I want to play something like Wii Sports Resort. Despite this one little issue, this bundle is a fantastic value, I highly purchasing one (or more) of these if you don't yet have 4 controllers for the Wii but would like to round out your collection.

I had originally gotten my girlfriend her own Wii system with a balance board and the Sports Resort games, which require the MotionPlus system attachments. Well, long story short, we were having so much fun playing the games and laughing like little kids, not to mention getting good exercise, that I decided to get my own set for my place. Now I have my own setup with two MotionPlus controllers and can be found practicing my golf swing, bowling, archery skills, and much more in my living room. The MotionPlus controller attachment seems to make the controller much more accurate...almost too accurate. I can't get away with anything! If I put too much spin on a ball, it curves, if I slice my shot a little it veers. These little guys are like musical instruments...they won't lie to you...if you do a good job, you'll be rewarded and poor technique will be on display for correction. The real and almost hidden benefit is that while you're 'playing', you're actually using your brain, nervous system, senses, and muscles. This has been one of the biggest and most fun improvements to my general health and happiness in a very long time. You will only regret buying it if you don't use it. Otherwise, you'll be having a blast and using parts you didn't know you had...and getting better at it too! Good luck and have fun!

It took them long enough, but Nintendo has finally come over to the dark side! Holding this black Wiimote fills one with the sense that one can conquer any video game with a single swing towards the Wii Sensor Bar. A great multitude of foes fall frequently in the wake of this controller's dark power. As soon as I opened the package, my Wii games started rattling and shaking as each game tried to move itself behind another. They recognized that they were no match for the black Wiimote. Suddenly, a three star rating in Mario Kart Wii was an easy feat. 242 stars in Super Mario Galaxy ? No problem! Even my guitar playing in Guitar Hero 5 improved. The addition of the Wii MotionPlus accessory is an added benefit, but it's really more about the prestige that comes with owning your very own midnight black controller. It goes without saying that the Wii Nunchuk Controller - Black is a necessary accompaniment and proves to be a worthy companion to the black Wiimote. Get them both. You will not regret it.

I just want to make this clear: The Wii MotionPlus is an external add on for this remote. It is NOT the internal MotionPlus that all the newer remotes have now. Some of the picture up top can be misleading to this fact. Otherwise it works fine just like any Wii remote. The one annoying thing is that because of the external MotionPlus hardware, the controller doesn't fit into the Wii wheels for Mario Cart. You have to remove the MotionPlus piece to fit the controller in, though to be honest, i never really noticed a difference between controllers with MotionPlus an those without. It just gets a little cumbersome to put in on and off, especially with the cover.

aweful

I bought this as an additional wii remote to the one that came with the console and to be able to play the new Zelda Skyward sword that requires a remote with motion plus feature. I was a bit disappointed when received the remote and found out it was a WHITE REMOTE with a BLACK SLEEVE. NOT the BLACK REMOTE stated in the product description. The motion plus accesory is attached to the bottom of the sleeve and has a lock for safely fixing the motion plus accesory to the wii remote. As you might imagine, the result was not pretty when putting together the white remote in the black sleeve. That's the only reason why I would rate a 3 over 5 stars to this one. On the other hand, the remote synced and worked smoothly with my console, the speaker is loud and clear, and also it's the original Nintendo remote (or at least it looks exactly like one) - which is a relieve. I hope this one won't break down during the first 6 months of use (the case for other reviews I've read), but so far there is no problem. If you're thinking of buying this bundle, I would tell you to think again. It's better business to go for a new model of wii remote plus (it incorporates the motion plus feature (without the need of the bulky motion plus extension); Even better, I would go for the Wii Play: Motion game that also includes a black wii remote plus for the comfortable price of USD 47, and includes free shipping!

I recently bought a Black nintendo wii console, but it only came with one remote. This one can be paired with the console to play with 2 people! Also this one has motionplus, just like the remote that came with the console. But this can also be paired with white consoles, perhaps if your white one got damaged and you prefer this one. In the box, you get batteries, the remote and some shorter remote jackets you'll never use... Also tonnes of instructions (could be cut down, IMHO) However, the remote face is shiny black you you will have to repeatedly wipe it against your trousers often to remove the fingerprints! Amazon's delivery was brilliant... estimated time was some time in Feb- ordered December 26th? Arrived 3 days later!!! The estimate got me worried for a second :D Also got £50 worth of wine vouchers :p

Nintendo wii telecomando non funziona se collegato al motore. Plus abbiamo dovuto utilizzarli separatamente acquisto poco soddisfacente questa voltap eccato

Controller funktioniert einwandfrei.

Ces manettes sont super pour la console Wii; elles fonctionnent parfaitement et pour un produit d'occasion elles semblent quasiment neuves.

Je mets une étoile car ce n'était pas stipulé que c'était du reconditionné...
