    I am very satisfied with this purchase for several reasons. First of all, the price is half the price of the wii brand controllers, and they look twice as cool. Lastly, this control comes with the controller attachment as well, which the regular controller does not.

    I bought this because my kids misplaced the original. Even though the package says Wii U, it does work on the regular Wii. Buttons and controls feel good. Doesn't feel cheap. My kids think that the lights, sounds and vibrations that come from the controller are cool. Overall this is a good buy. I may get another to match.

    The Afterglow - Motion Plus Bundle for Nintendo Wii U works great and has lasted a long time without giving me any issues. Based on this and considering it is far cheaper than similar products with the Nintendo brand, I think it is a great option if you are in need of this sort of product.

    My daughter bought this for our Wii U and it works just fine. I don't like the placement or feel of the + and - buttons and the lights are way too bright. I believe the lights can be shut off, though. This is the second one of these that we have purchased, having had the first one for three or four years with no problems. These are a good alternative to the official Nintendo remotes.

    The controller started off working well for us. But after a short period of time, the controller would start to disconnect constantly. I've tried repairing the controller multiple times and changing out the batteries, but it just will not stay on. I've tried it with the lights off and on. If you're thinking about saving money with this product, you'll only spend more later to get the first party Wii U Controller, so just shell out the money for them to start with.

    Exciting controller for younger children

    This controller works the same as normal bundled controllers, but it is more exciting to use. It enhances the overall experience of playing the Wii games by the mystical lighting while it is in use. Our child believes it increases his ability to earn more points faster. We have had to replace it three times so buyer protection is encouraged.

    This controller was much less expensive than the standard controller and works every bit as good. The bonus is it glows in the dark - the kids love that.

    This controller really does the job it's intended to do for far less $$$ compared to other options such as the Nintendo branded controllers. The only drawback is that the glow feature is really bright, especially when being used in a dark room.

    These remotes do not stay synced with the wii console. I have to re-sync every time I use them.

    For about half the cost of "official" WiiMotes + NunChucks (sucks that those are ONLY available separately now), this one does the job. Some of the buttons are positioned differently, which is sometimes nice. Has a tendency to "bug out" & I have to re-sync it (happens atleast once every 3 or so hours of gameplay), but I knew something was gonna happen at this price. If you don't mind occasionally re-syncing the controller, it gets the job done.

    Needed a controller to Play Wii Games in the Wii U, this worked perfectly with easy setup. However, the build quality is rather lacking and the LEDs can get really annoying. As long as you can live with that, it's worth the price.
