Why am I the only one Wii-ally disappointed?

Advantages: Looks and the multiple ways to use it
Disadvantages: Fails in it's primary use as the reponsiveness seems haphazard and the games don't help, Price

...it's a great idea, just Nintendo didn't quite pull it off to the level that was expected and as a result it's a controller with a pointer on the end as opposed to the next step in gaming. As a “normal” controller it does the job though does seem a bit backwards in the world of the 360 control and the Six-Axis, as a wand control it's yet to really find any games that make the best use of what could well be best served as the job for a mouse (point ...
...that Nintendo have so far put out (Mario and Zelda excepted) have done little to show off how great the control can be. Overall doesn't meet up to what was expected and instead it looks like it's space aged but as a controller is more 1990's than 21st century. ...

Review of NINTENDO Wii Remote - game pad

A 'wheely' good extra for the Wii!

Advantages: Makes the games more realistic
Disadvantages: Some might not want to pay out for a piece of plastic

...have recently invested in a Nintendo Wii so be prepared for lots of Wii stuff!!! After reading some reviews we decided that we'd get the game Mario Kart as it looked fun and we are quite competitive so could race against each other. This wheel came with the game and we bought an extra one at the same time. The wheel cost £6.99 and is white in colour. It's a little bigger in length than the Wii remotes and is the same shape as a steering wheel that ...
...and on the back is a big blue circle with the words 'Wii' on it. There is a rectangular whole which the Wii remote fits into. This wheel isn't an essential part of the Mario game and you can do without it but I find that it makes the whole game much more exciting. The Wii remote fits into the whole very neatly and extremely easily. Basically you thread the arm belt through a reasonable sized hole and then push on the remote. It fits in really well ...

Nintendo Wii Nunchuck Controller Review What is a Nunchuck? The Nintendo Wii Nunchuck is a white plastic controller which is meant to be held in your left hand (if you are right handed) like a secondary controller. The Nunchuck has white rubber stick to control movements and two buttons "c" and "z" which are normally used as action buttons. The Nunchuck costs about £15 in most shops and is needed for quite a large number of games. ...
...use the Nunchuck on its own and it needs to be plugged into the Wii remote to work. You just have to clip the Nunchuck in to the bottom of the Wii remote and you will be able to use it. The Nunchuck does actually have some motion sensing abilities but these are not often used and don`t work very well. Try boxing in Wii Sports and you will see what I mean. Durability One problem I have with my Nunchuck is it somehow randomly broke and I am ...

GameCube Controller

Advantages: Vital to play GC games.
Disadvantages: Loads of cheap copies around and official brands are more expensive.

...Gamecube or Wii. The official nintendo ones are obviously the best because of the superior build quality and feel but finding an official nintendo one can be tricky as they are rarer and slightly more expensive because of the vast amounts of cheap copies on the market. But if you don't mind forking out that little bit more cash and putting a bit more work into finding a decent official controller, it pays off as they will last forever. If you can ...

Review of NINTENDO GAMECUBE Controller game pad

Wireless Gamecube controller is awesome!

Advantages: Wireless and bigger.
Disadvantages: Consumes batteries.

The Nintendo Gamecube Controller is an extremely good controller. In this review I will explain the differences and share my personal opinion. The main difference is that it's wireless. It required 2 AA batteries. The batteries last for a long amount of time, so that's good. Another difference is that the controller is bigger, so it will take a little bit of getting used to, but I like that it's bigger. The off/on switch is in the lower middle of ...
...your favorite games. At the bottom of the controller is a tuner that you need to use to tune into the controller. Once you "tune in" once you wont need to do it again, so it's not a problem at all. I have used this controller for a long time and it is very reliable. I recommend it. ...
