    i think this review was a complete waste of time. don't buy anything until monster enters the world of wireless console controllers. than you will have the best controller around. because monster makes the best wires.

    @Nick:

    I hear the controller plays the game for you when you reach a part you can't pass.

    And that it tells you you're special.

    Amazon has been selling the wiimote for $35 now for quite some time...with free shipping.

    @fusedinertia: These are retail prices, so the others are cheaper as well.

    I have a better question: Can you name any third party controllers that are better than the "first-party" one?


    I've had zero luck with madcatz, nyko, you name it. And this is going back to when Blockbuster sold their own branded super-nintendo controller with the turbo buttons...

    @Thats Dr Bear to You: For the PS2, I liked the Logitech wireless controllers better than the wired ones from SONY.

    I agree with all comments above the remote needs to look more wii matching. The colours, the d-pad the red nyko logo the wand text and the light arrangement reming me of a toy from the 90s rather than a controller for the all white revolutionary (arguably) games console.

    @Yeebles: Do you WANT them to get sued by Nintendo again?


    >_<


    They HAD to make it THAT different.

    Hey, ugly or not, when it comes to the Wii, Nyko has delivered some pretty damn solid peripherals. This will be a day one buy for me! ^_^

    It reminds me of a lite-brite for some odd reason...

    Perhaps everyone who is complaining about the *color schemes* of this thing might be served by re-reading the Nyko-Nintendo lawsuit settlement.


    Judging by how that played it out seems the decision to visually brand their product *not* as the "subtle-white-mac-alike" nintendo look is just following their nunchuck redesign settlement guidelines.

    @Matthew Wilson:
    Which should make them lawsuit-proof with this addition to their line (well, at least from Nintendo lawyers...). They have to maintain a few basic dimensions or it won't work with peripheral items, like the Nerf-to-Wiimote guns, drop-in chargers, or all of the various decorative attachments (gloves, lightsaber blades, etc.), so they have to go for a different look in some other way. Personally, I'd rather see them make the cases in a range of colors, and not just tired-old-overused-plain-vanilla... white. That would satisfy all the people who don't want to use the Wiimote gloves but still want options that have a little more life to them.
