    That might work very well if they would've told me that they need a little Wi-Fi adapter to go with them. Guess that's my fault for not reading the small print on the box, however if I ask the employee why they are so much cheaper they could have told me that!

    This controller will suck the life out of the batteries! We had to change the batteries every two hours it felt like. I would not recommend this product.

    This controller does the job but I wish I would have just spent a couple dollars more and bought an actual Nintendo one this one feels cheap and breakable when I use it

    For some reason, I had a hard time syncing this remote to our Wii. They are cheaply made.

    Remote only works with batteries not rechargeable batteries. I have had to buy batteries and I have been unable to use the rechargeable batteries I had.

    I thought that I could save some money and that the experience would be similar vs the Nintendo controls, but the quality is really low : these controllers are hard to link to the Wii console, they are not accurate, to the point of being frustrating while playing, and their sound is defective (the same happened with the two controllers I bought). Do not buy them : they are not what you want.

    It came with the wifi adapter. When I ask the employee why it cost less they should have known this and informed me.

    Purchased this as a extra remote for the WiiU but unfortunately we had to return it because 1) didn't know you had to buy an additional attachment for it to be compatible 2) my best buy store didn't have the attachment to sell with it when we went back to buy it.

    Best buy sells the controller but you need to buy a motion piece with it that they do not carry. Ends up being just as expensive as a regular wii remote if you can find the additional motion piece

    Bought controller for granddaughter and told it would connect with Wii. Did not. Had to return to store and purchase the more expensive controller. First time Best Buy gave me bad information.

    Had two different ones- both were glitchy and had to be returned. Button controls get stuck, the connection was poor and interfered with play.
