I broke both of my Wii remotes and I'm borrowing my bro's and he wants it back so I need to buy a new one, but I don't have much money. A friend recommends this one, any reviews? or any other recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

i bought 3 additional ones on amazon. they are not OEM, but damn if they arent the same deminsions, etc. honestly, (except for the lack of a 'wii' label) i can tell the difference between the two.

they were about $20 each and unless you are going to buy used . . . i don't think you will find anything cheaper. just search amazon for 'wii controller wu'

there are some negative comments on the controller, but i haven't found any of them to be valid (in my experience at least).

good luck.

nothing beats the nintendo one. and they even made it more simple by integrating motionplus into it.

ps2: v7 scph-39001 - independence exploit - hdloader 0.8c - maxtor 300gb hdd
(+[__]%) psp slim ta-085v1: 6.60 PRO B10
wii (powered by bootmii/priiloader): 4.1u - d2x v10beta53-alt (base 56) - configurable usb loader v70r51/devolution r188 - wd scorpio black 7200rpm 320gig w/ ams venus ds2 enclosure

got a whole lot more to list . . .

great point about not including wii motion sensor. . . as i am new to wii i hadn't even notice that. thankfully you pointed it out while i could still return the remote.\

that being said, if they had wii motion sensor in them i would not have requested a return. i strongly disagree that the remotes lack quality, etc. my guess, they are probably built by the same plant in china, they just lack the wii marking . . . otherwise they would be equal to the OLD wii controllers.

thanks,
