Synchronizes and works great, unlike some 3rd party Wii controllers this one even has a built in Motion Plus part (required for Wii U and specific Games on an old Wii console). Note, however, that this *IS* a third-party controller, so not everything is 100% specs. For example, I noticed that the hand cursor moves more sensitively than a real Nintendo Wii controller when hovering over the screen. It's not a big deal, but if you're used to authenticity, you might find that you have to relearn…
