Review on Black Wii Remote Plus by Charles Barney

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great (if legit) Nintendo Wii Remote Plus - Pink

My 20 year old daughter and her friends tested two of the new Wii Remote Plus. (Blue and pink, we already had white and black.) The first used our old black controller in Kirby. My 2-year-old granddaughter picked up the pink one and activated it in the game. So I gave it to one of the college students. Then Blue felt attracted to her and activated her as well. Passed it on to my aunt to play Kirby. (Aunt pulled the battery out of Bely so he wouldn't activate the fourth player in the game.) The controls and buttons worked well on both new remotes. There were moments during the game where the remote had to be shaken insanely to get the plus side of the controller to work perfectly! (It's fun to watch a 2-year-old imitate older children by shaking her white remote while "playing" a game with them.) This was my second Wii Remote Plus - pink. My first was bought at Revain from the Revain dealer. (Game Direct is now sold as GryoTek. DO NOT buy from them!) I immediately sent it back for a refund. (Ordered on Friday, received on Saturday and filled in the return form the same day) It was a very good example. Button A looked "cheap” and turned yellow along with the comfortable jacket. The word "Pink" was misspelled as "Bink" on the packaging. Batteries were not included, although the box said it came with 2 AA batteries. (Pictures under Pink's deleted post) I ordered a second Pink controller from Revain on Saturday, received it on Monday and was able to compare directly before UPS accepted my return. My real remotes work great! Happy with all four. And it's pretty fun to have a controller for each color so people know which controller goes with them.
