This is a great, high quality controller for my Wii U. To be clear, it is indeed compatible with both. Here some reasons you might want to pick this up: 1. This has the Motion Plus capability built in, which a large group of Wii and Wii U games require. No need for an attachment, which makes for a smaller, more compact controller. 2. The D-Pad and back cover have a less glossy, more matte finish plastic, which provides slightly better grip - especially if you're someone who uses it without a sleeve. 3. Sync button (for pairing a controller to a specific console) is now on the outside of the controller. No more opening up the controller to sync it to a console. 4. You can use all of your sleeves and other peripherals from your other Wii controllers, as this is the same size as the original Wii remote. 5. This is a genuine Nintendo controller.

It's worth paying a bit more for the actual Nintendo Wii remote versus the off brand products. The Nintendo remotes are better quality and the batteries last longer. We made the mistake of buying an off brand and the connection to the Wii would turn off at random. This has been used a lot with the wheel and we've never had an issue.
