Consider this a Wii Remote with a $10 game
937771
As many others have stated, this package is really the Wii Remote with a bonus $10 game included. You would not buy this for the game due to the simplicity. Most games do not have lasting appeal; possible 1 or 2 will be fun when playing with others. Buy this only if you cannot find the extra Wii Remote.

This is not a ready to use product. You'll need to get the Action module (or whatever they call it) from Wii for another $15.

There is nothing literally wrong with this item, all the buttons press and the ones that click click and the joysticks that rotate rotate; but, it just feels cheap in your hand.  The springs on the buttons are a lot harder that an official controller, which makes it hard to excute short button taps or hold the shoulder buttons down only halfway).  The left joystick is very tochy and only reponds well to hard movements, heavan help you if you want to move you chracter only one pixel.  To tell the differance in quality, turn rumble on with an official and this generic controller set them on the floor and let them rumble.  In the generic one, when it rumbles, you will here a lot of things(I don't know what else to call it) vibrating in it, which makes me worry for the longevity of the controller the official one purrs like a kitten and NOTHING rattles in it.  This controller is fine for games like Mario party, derivative movie games, or not competitive younger players; but, if you want fine control of your charter. i.e. (for quick executed fighting combos, then spend the extra bucks for an official controller or a WaveBird.

I got this for Christmas, because like many people, my mom thought that since she would be buying an extra remote for our new Wii system, the extra $10 for a game was a good deal. The reality is that the game isn't a game at all, it's a series of mini games designed as a tutorial that you must play one at a time and succeed in whatever the task is before the next can be unlocked. My mom and I each played Christmas day, but after that, the game has sat in its case never to see the light of day. Unless you think you'll really have a hard time learning how to move and control the Wii remote, don't bother with the pack, just buy the extra remote and put the money you'll save toward either a second Nunchuk or a different game.

Let's RE-Lay out the facts.  Wii Play costs about 5 bucks more than a Wii remote.  The Wii Play remote does come with the soft rubber cover, so you are getting the same product.

What the heck are some of these whiners expecting from the games for less than five bucks?  It seems like they're expecting them to perform like one of the high end game$$.  I actually enjoy most if not all of these simplistic games and play them extensively with my 7 year old daughter.  Yeah, they're kinda cheesy.  For five bucks, what do you expect??

If you've got a young kid or like a bit of cheesy entertainment, this package is a great value.  If you are a real "Gamer", just get the remote and spend the money on your more fancy game$.

After some apprehension reading some of the negative reviews, I do not regret this purchase one bit.

When I started playing, it was fun at first, but now I'm tired from having shake the wii remote for boost. So, instead, I play a few stages that are easier for the controls.  The werehog stages have the worst controls because you have to swing your Wii remote in order to attack.  I recommend you using the gamecube controller. also the drift is bad because the z button.also the nunchuck.

Graphics are better for this game.  But it's the same game done for Wii over and over. You shake the remote in different ways for the mini games. As with most Wii games so far it doesn't fully use the motion sensors the way you think it would. It's a good game for families or children. For people in their 20's or 30's it lacks skill, strategy, or thought.

Only works with the very old white wii, it needs the game cube port
Do not buy if not sure

It's a great concept, hence why I bought it, but the Wii system just isn't built for this type of stuff, in my opinion. The controls are pretty awkward in my experience. That being said, I would rather opt for a dedicated firearm controller thing, instead of an adapter for the Wii controllers.

This wii remote is OK. I decided to opt for this one as the original nintendo wii controllers are waaaay more expensive. It works fine, but if you plan on using it with your Wii U, make sure you get the MotionPlus adapter (or else it won't work)!

Spend the extra $10-$15 and get the Nintendo version. It felt cheap, the D Pad was poor, the joysticks were hard and didn't feel smooth. I got it to connect and could use the controller to navigate the Wii U menu, but getting into a game that lets a person use the Wii Pro controller was a no go. One game that I did get it to work in you had to push Up to go Left and Down to go Right.

I'm writing this review because I canceled my delayed order after picking up the controller at Target and returning it. I did some research after the fact and others were having troubles.

Hope this helps the decision. Please let me know how it works for you.

10 bucks and it works.  Dog ate the remote but 10 bucks and I have a replacement (the remote not the dog)

The product isn't really an exciting game.  It's more to familiarize you with what you can do with the remote.

I will admit, the game that comes with this could do to have more, perhaps they should make an expansion or something. That being said, this blaster eliminates the need for a specific light gun accesory, since that's basically what the wii Remote is. Yes there is a cursor for THIS game, but games like House of the Dead don't. Hooking up the nunchuk and wii Remote is simple, and I like that. It's a nice feel, and the slender body allows it to be comfortable in the hands, without feeling like it's fragile. Recommend this, as well as the Nyko's peripheral gun, so you can change the experience depending on the game.

So, Nintendo's keeping us hyped for their upcoming games and Wii U system, but what could be a better way than re-releasing the Wii for a smaller price than how much it costed back when it launched? Well....being able to play Gamecube games on it. That's right, this is a new unit with the lack of Gamecube controller inputs.

Wanna use Gamecube controllers for Wii games? Too bad. Wanna play Gamecube games? Too bad! Wanna be able to play certain Wii games that utilize the controller inputs. TOO BAD! You aren't going to get any of that with this Wii system! Why Nintendo decided to strip away all Gamecube features is extremely questionable.

If I were you, I'd go get the original Wii, which is perhaps the same price as this dud.

Wow - $20 for what? Someone will laugh at you if you buy this - it will at least be me. I think the Nintendo Wii system works very well and for the life of me I couldn't beat my child for the first 100 plays on the video game, but that is another story.  This little car has nothing to do with that except for little homunculus Mario, and the likeness of the banana, and the little red thing. If I didn't throw the box out, I would take another gander to make sure this wasn't some cleverly misspelled brand to look like the Wii, you know, like that ROLEX some people wear. OK seriously - the infrared controller does talk to the car. I could make the wheels turn. I could make the motor turn remotely, but as soon as you try to put the axle to the gear to the motor, it gets stuck. It gets stuck because someone sort of drew an idea and some sort of guy (or gal) sort of threw parts together, and sort of made the plastic sort of look like the drawing. The drive wheels are on a thin easily bent rod (you are supposed to take them in/out to switch to another). The pinion gear barely engages the reduction gear (all plastic with really really  loose tolerances - think Flintstones loose, you know when the stone wheels would fly off the wood axle) and once you snap the axle in (one side at a time, yes yes I was careful), you have maybe one or two more chances of breaking whatever little plastic tabs hold the axle in and you are lucky if all the gears mesh or even inhabit the same airspace. Drive it  for about 12 inches on a wood floor ("NOT on the tabletop KIDS!") with any dog hair or baby dust bunnies and it becomes a dog hair/dust remover - and a very purposeless paperweight. Clean out the now circular hair and dust, drive on a dust free environment ("ONLY on the tabletop kids") and watch as the car stops/jerks/goes, stops, then stops, then stops, then stops. You have now played out the life of this product. Throw it out and say a prayer to the environment. On the remote there is a little plastic dongle that is supposed to swing out and act as the Snap-on took kit for the car - I mean the instructions gave it hope, invested it with mighty powers. It has many intended functions to turn things and open things on the car, but it really is a little piece of formless fetal plastic that literally couldn't not stab its way out of a wet proverbial paper effin bag. The remote and the car have the greatest intentions of fun, but you will be much happier, trust me on this,  staring at the picture at the top of this web page and IMAGINING all the fun you would have with this product. Go ahead. Scroll back up. Please. vroom. vrooooooooom. errrrrrr. wheeeee........!

I bought this game to play Off TV; on the gamepad. Technically you can. But not well. There's no sound in off tv play - the games sound comes from the TV speakers only - that's bad/lazy programming. You also can only play 1 player on the gamepad. Other players MUST use the wii remotes. Again, lazy programming. Why advertise these features if they're not in the game? Why is this a Wii U game when it doesn't use any of the Wii U features?

You can't use your Miis... which seems lazy. Why wouldn't they add this feature? It was in past games. And the character customization is awful and extremely limited.

I did like the different sets. For example: Play the halloween themed set and get halloween themed puzzles (Werewolf, Trick or Treat, etc.) play the New York set and get new york themed puzzles (Big Apple, Statue of Liberty, etc.) This was a great feature.

 I  thought the graphics were nice. It's wheel of fortune... it's hard to get mess that up. But they did. Buy the Wii (original) version or wait for them to fix these errors or release a new edition.

Pass this one up.
