Does it work with wii u without motion plus thing

Does this remote work with the wii u or does it need the motion plus module to be compatible? Has anyone tried it with the wii u yet?

It has always baffled me how Nintendo could invent a wireless controller, then decide that any accessories for the controller must be wired.  I mean, the Wii console itself was geared towards getting people more physically active, right?  So what's so fun about getting whipped in the face with an accessory cord when you're trying to slay critters?

I've been through a handful of different wireless nunchuks, and NONE of them have been compatible with Motion+ or the Wiimote+ - up until now.  I've tested this in 3 different motionplus-compatible games (Skyward Sword, Wii Sports Resort, and Rage of the Gladiator (wiiware)) and it works on all three perfectly.

The transceiver has two huge notches in the end, so it plugs into the Motion+ without physical modification.  Also, the connector slides around, presumably so it works well with any strangely-shaped 3rd party wiimotes.

Additionally, when plugged into the wiimote+, the nunchuk does not disconnect every few seconds - which is what happens with every other wireless nunchuk I've purchased.

I've put about 10 hours on this one with zero problems so far, so I'm ready to consider this a well-deserved 5 stars.

10/10 haven't tested with my wii u yet but it works perfectly with dolphin, you have to google the instructions on the dolphin wiki to do the custom driver thing which enables you to use it with dolphin, once you load that driver it detects controllers flawlessly. games feel just like they did on gamecube, my next step is hooking up a CRT to this bad boy and having authentic feeling emulated gamecube.

Don't waste your money... the only redeeming quality of the Wii U is that it is backwards compatible. Decent games for the Wii U have been few and far between, and if weren't for the fact that we can play our existing Wii library on the U, the U would have been boxed up and the original Wii would have reclaimed it's space in the entertainment center. And now, barely three years after it's launch, Nintendo is poised to abandon the U altogether and replace it with their new NX system.

You need a Wiimote, which is a pain. but since the official adapter is basically impossible to find, this is a working alternative.
the turbo is awful and annoying, sometimes it takes like 10 minutes to get it to turn off so it is actually usable.

I'd recommend if you don't mind buying the wii mote and cant find an official adapter.

The motion plus is a "must-have" option for many new games on the Wii.  But I don't see where it makes things that much better.  It's ok but not wonderful!

My sister sent me this DDR dance pad and disc bundle as a gift.  She knew I had the Wii with the Fit balance board and love that.  This is advertised as "compatible with the Wii balance board" - but that's NOT TRUE.  You need a "converter."  This game is designed to work with the Nintendo Game Cube.  The plug for the DDR dance pad DOES NOT FIT INTO THE Wii PLATFORM.  You need a separate converter which costs about $35 additional.  I don't think this dance functionality is worth that much money.  So I'm sending it back.

I hate when this happens.  Should I tell my sister?

Take note that this is pretty useless without a the Wii Fit U software.  A free trial of Wii Fit U is available until January 2014, and if you buy this Fit Meter the free trial will be upgraded to the full software, which is nice for previous owners of the Wii Fit Balance board.  This product uses an IR port to sync with the IR port on the Wii U Game Pad, importing your activity into Wii Fit U.  It distinguishes between light activity, walking, and running, and measures altitude changes.  I have to walk up a decent (but gradual) slope for work, and it seems that the Fit Meter doesn't really count that altitude change, it's probably meant for stairs.  After a few weeks of importing data into Wii Fit U, the software will give you a calorie goal, which is then uploaded to the Fit Meter to encourage you to hit a certain level of activity each day.  A functionality I have not tested is swapping data between fit meters using the IR port.  Having a Fit Meter on my belt each day helps remind me to be active and keeps me coming back to play Wii Fit, so that's good.

Motion plus has to be re-connected often while playing Zelda. I'll likely have to buy again from another seller with OEM devices.

Well there is NO wii motion controls on this game. you just use the buttons. which i thought was lame. but overall it was pretty fun i guess i get bored easy though.

Works well for retropie and generic controllers. I used the Kulaander wireless pair of Wii U controllers for 30 dollars and it works great for all games. Have not used it on a pc at all though, but I would imagine it would be virtually the same.

Some other reviewers said it worked with a Wii U. It did not work for me. I do not have  "Y" cable that will work with this because this actually has a female USB Type A connection rather than a female 3.0 Micro Type B connection. Still works as normal external enclosure for a 2.5" drive.

I ordered the adapters because we recently one a new Wii console that had the motion plus game with it. Having only the one motion plus controller I wanted more for the grandkids to play with while here...these work perfectly and I didn't have to pay so much for a whole new control.

When the Wii first came out I thought the Wiimotes looked incredibly stupid.  After using them I started to find them pretty neat.  Same thing happened with the Wii U.  At first I thought the gamepad looked really lame, but now I love it.  My favorite feature is how you can control the TV with it as well.  So convenient!  The game pad controls are very similar to the DS, but unlike the DS my hands don't cramp up when I play for longer periods.

Just wii u game.  My boys enjoyed it they said there were a few extra puzzles.  No complaints from them though.

It works just fine for what I'm using it for. You hook one end to your wii or gamecube, and hook the other end to your controller. It's very useful if you have a big living room so you don't have to sit a couple of inches from your TV. I have no complaints. I would recommend this product.
