Information on the Wii Controllers or Wiimote
The Wii Controller, the Wiimote or Wii Remote as it can be called, is shaped like a standard TV remote, and has the built in technology of motion sensing to make the interactivity of game play achievable. This remote now comes in white and black and you also buy protective silicon sleeves (additional cost) for added protection in the colour of your choice.
The reason for an additional remote would be dependent on the game you are playing and how many people you would like to play against. The Wii Controllers have four blue LED lights to indicate which player position the remote is currently set to and it automatically connects via Bluetooth wireless technology.

- The Wii Controller has added features that can be adjusted which include rumble force-feedback.
- There is also a built in speaker that gives the player feedback about the strength of swing or accuracy of their moves such as a realistic noise of the ball hitting the tennis racket (Wii remote) to give you a bit of realism that Nintendo are striving for.
- Additional Wii Controllers can be added to the Wii Remote Via the expansion port, for example the Wii Nunchuk
- The Wii Remote can be a sword for one game, a steering wheel for racing, a paintbrush, golf club, airplane and much more!
Review of the Wii Controllers
The long and short of the Wii Controller, is that it is shaped like a TV remote control and you wave it around and your character on the screen moves about. But (and thankfully for Nintendo!) there is so much more to it!
This is the standard Wiimote that most of the Wii games use as their primary remote and the whole design process behind this controller is that, as more or less everyone knows how to use a TV remote as it is so simple, then shape and design it so it is reminiscent of a TV control so automatically everyone can use it! It is so simple to work as for baseball games you bring your arms back and swing at the ball, or with bowling games, you re-enact the exact movements you use on a bowling alley. It really is that simple and it is even more fun when you add Wii remote Accessories to the games!
There are two buttons, in an ideal place for you to access, that are the most important and that is the A button on the front that you use for most operations and the trigger button. A home button returns you straight away back to the main menu whilst a power button turns off the console so you don’t even have to get up off the sofa!
There is a mini speaker on it so when you play a game like tennis for example, you get the feeling and the sound that you are actually hitting the ball! This makes the remote even more lifelike and fun to use, therefore encouraging you to buy more titles to play it with. Most games actually make use of this remote’s ability to detect motion so the games will have you jigging about all over the place to get the best usability from the controllers, and this is also when the Wii Remote comes into its own and is at its best.
There are no down sides to the controller for the Wii as it is amazingly easy to use, even for novice gamers, its intuitive and when it runs out, batteries charge it instantly instead of having to wait for it to charge which you can find on the Wii docking station pages.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- What features are on the Wii remote accessories?
There is a home button on the middle of the Wiimote that pauses the game and opens a menu and if you want to go back to the main menu or change controllers you also use this.
The A button under the arrow keys are used in games where you need to make moves like passes. This is the same for the B button at the back of the Wii remote.
The arrow keys allow you to move where you want to and the + and – buttons enable you to turn up the volume on the game and pause a game.
- What is the range that controllers can play at?
You have to make sure that the sensor bar is visible to the Wiimote’s, but typically Wii Remotes can be used 6 to 10 feet away from your TV.
- How can I reset my Wii controllers?
If you need to reset the Wiimotes so that they can be played on different Wii consoles then open the battery cover on the remote and on the Wii near where you insert a CD and then press the red button on the Wiimote and the console itself and then you can sync that controller to that Wii.
- Is my controller broken?
It’s now that you need Wii remote accessories as if your Wii controller B button is very sensitive for one reason or another, then there is a button under the slot that the SD reader is on the front and there you will find the sync button. If you press this then you can add another controller to the console so you can use other controllers whilst you fix the ain one.
- None of my controllers work!
If you find that none of your controllers will work with your console then look into using Wii remote accessories such as try turning off your Wii to check that the sensor bar is not broken. If this is the problem then you can easily invest in another sensor to replace the broken one. If the sensor bar is not broken then when you have tried to sync another controller to the console you may have held the button too long therefore deleting all the syncs. You can re-sync the remotes by pressing the sync button on the controller, under the cover mentioned above, and once the LED lights start flashing press the sync button on the Wii and wait until they connect.
