Charger and batteries were DOA on arrival. Wireless bar wasn't working well either. Wouldn't read my Wii remote very accurately from 10 feet away without jittering around on the screen. Lucky me I now get to go through the return/exchange process.

When it does come down to the Nintendo Wii, it has a lot of great accessories that Nintendo makes so well, but when Nyko has made so many different 3rd party devices, they just haven't been able to spark the fire, and fall flat so quickly for the Wii. That sadly is the case with their Enhanced Performance Kit. Not only does the compatable cable not work very well, but the added extras from the rechargeable battery packs can easily leak, and waste severe damage on the Wii-mote. Not only that, but the Nyko Sensor bar also doesn't work as well for the Wii's strength. All in all, I really and honestly recommend you get the extra peripherals from Nintendo, they make better sensor bars that work strongly with the Wii, and try another 3rd party brand that fits what Nintendo is capable of.

Price: D

Compatability: F+

Overall: F+

I was looking for an extra Nyko Charge Station since I already have one for two Wii remotes and I needed another charger for my other two. Looked around at other stores, they were selling the charger for about the same price as the Nyko Performance Kit that comes with a sensor bar (wireless the best part) and component cables that make my games look so much better. I love the charge station and every store I go to recommends the Nyko one. As for the sensor bar, I have my LCD on my wall and with this I do not have any wires running down from my TV and seems to work as well as Nintendo's wired sensor bar. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to upgrade their Wii or just bought a Wii because you will turn out to need these things especially the charger.

This kit does not indicate having a wireless sensor bar with it. Mine did not come with one and I thought maybe it was just missing, but it is not even included in the contents of the package.

The photo in this ad clearly shows you are supposed to get a "wireless" sensor bar with this package. Instead, I received a regular "wired" sensor bar. I wrote the seller and explained my discontent and they agreed to send me the correct part. Again, they sent another "wired" sensor bar. This is just too much of a headache to deal with any further. I do not recommend buying from this seller due to false advertising.

As a bundle, this was an ok deal. Contrary to other reviewers I would say the Wireless IR emitter works just fine, just be sure to calibrate your console to it prior to use. It's handy for travelling. The component cable was exactly like the one i purchased previously, which I was completely satisfied with also. This also went into my travel kit. My problem was with the battery packs. One of them will not hold a charge at all and is completely worthless. The main trouble with the battery pack and the base unit is the location of the terminals. Because they make contact in the rear of the remote and not the bottom, the remote has to be stripped out of the gel cover and you must remove your motion plus as well, which negates the convenience of the charger in the first place. Overall not a great result. Perhaps I will look for a motion plus compatible induction charger instead.

I got this 50% off and it's a great deal at that price. The batteries and charger work great and the HD cable seems well made. I haven't used the wireless motion sensor but visually it looks like maybe the only weak spot here, doesn't look very well made.

The Kit looked good, but the charger would not work. I tried over and over for a week or so to charge the batteries on two WII controllers. I never saw any LED light up. Yes it was plugged in and Yes there was power at the plug. There was no noticeable damage to the package, well until I tried to open it. Anyway, the Company should not ship products that don't work.

This is not a game we bought, but a charging device for the wii controllers. Wii is great tho!!

i am disappointed that i purchased this . I did not realize that i did not need the items when i purchased the system as a christmas present. i feel as if i wasted my money on this.
