Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to use. Good alternate controller and grip control . Lite weight and the battery charge last longer

Bought this controller with the 3d Mario World bundle. First one I bought didn't work - simply turned on and had one of the knobs permanently stuck in one direction (a common problem for controllers after extensive use). Took it back and explained the problem, got it replaced straightaway. Love it when things are this easy. Bravo Best Buy. The controller itself is great. It fits well into my hands and is super light weight. Feels sturdy enough to hurl through your TV or wall if you put some oomph into it, yet light enough that you don't have to worry about it breaking if you just drop it on the floor. Another plus is that it is rechargeable, so you don't have to put batteries in it constantly if you play a lot of games. The charge lasts a long time, but if it starts to run out of juice you just plug the USB charger it came with into the Wii and keep going.

Very easy to use, just takes a little getting used to, to where the buttons are. Very similar to X box controller. It also has vibration on it. The battery on it is very good. I would recommend it to everyone looking for another controller for the win u.

Excellent battery life... D-pad feels great; very responsive. I just wish that the positions of the buttons and right analog stick would have swapped, similar to the Xbox controller. The current layout feels a little unnatural, but easy to adapt to.

I rarely used the wii u in my house because I can't stand the gamepad or wii remote. After years of gaming with a conventional controller they just don't feel right. I purchased this controlled along with Mario Kart and I am very satisfied. It's light weight and rechargeable using the packaged in cable. The downside of the controller is the fact that the buttons are below the right stick. My hand begins to cramp after a while.

Excellent controller for Wii U. It actually works better for some games than the Pad and is much better than WiiMote for 2nd player. Really works well on Smash 4 also. I can't give enough praise for rock solid design and excellent battery life.

Bought this to play multiplayer Mario kart. As good as, if not better than the game pad. Love the light weight design and amount of buttons. Battery lasts forever. I forget that it needs to be charged. Perfect for virtual console.

This beats the heck out of the gamepad, it's way lighter and can be used in most Wii U games. The battery lasts so long I lost my charging cable!!! Literally over 100 hours of battery life in this thing. Must have for any real gamer.

For an old school gamer like myself this controller felt like home. My kids excel with the nunchuk setup but when possible for games this is what I prefer. Button response and battery life are superb. Nintendo has a winner here.

I love this controller hand down feel great in your hands. I love the battery life this controller states can go 80 hours with out recharge and I it been few weeks since I plug it in. It up there in quality with PS4 controllers.

This controller has a nice premium feel to it. Very solid well made piece of equipment. 4 buttons on the controller.. 4 directions on the d pad.. Wait 4.. 4 Washington Lane.. The next clue is at the White House!

This controller feels natural in your hands. I bought this back in January and still haven't charged it yet. I play about 3 to 4 days a week. Usage will be less since I finally got my hands on a Wii U GameCube adapter.

Of course this is much easier to wield as opposed to the standard WiiU screen. Much smaller and very reminiscent of GC/Xbox360 controllers. Very comfortable and the buttons are easy to reach. Holds a charge very well.

great to use for all games in place of the screen which is kinda bulky. fits your hand well and is very similar to both other major system controllers with controls

When I had to purchase yet another controller for my WiiU, I was hesitant, but I really like this controller a lot. Its very light, and the battery lasts forever. It's great for playing the Mario and Zelda games.

Great Controller..worth the money spent on this. My kids love this controller. Before buying this controller, bought cheaper ones which stopped working after 1 week. Brought 2 controllers for both the kids

This is one of the best controllers I have ever used. I have used the Xbox 360 controller on my PC and a Dual Shock 3 for several games, but this one beats them all in terms of comfort. I have average sized hands and it fits perfectly. It is also light-weight compared to the Xbox controller and can easily be held with one hand comfortably if you want to be very lazy during travel sections of games. The battery life on this thing is unreal. I believe it says up to 80 hours, but it may very well be more. This is the only controller I have ever just set down when I'm done and never feared it being dead when I decide to play again days later. I now only use the gamepad when the game requires it for mechanics that use the screen or the gyro.

Love this controller. Very comfortable and well made. Performs extremely well. All buttons and triggers respond perfectly and it hold a charge for a long time. Definitely my preferred controller for the Wii U

Excellent battery life (80+ hours without recharging) and comfortable/lightweight to hold. It charges through the wii u system via USB so you can still play while it is charging. A bit pricey, but well worth it.

Very impressed on the quality of this Wii U controller. It has a nice smooth finish on top and has great handling. Don't feel any fatigue after prolong use! The battery on this is quite impressive!
