This is the Wii Remote that Nintendo Wii should have made in the first place! Anyway, let me tell you all about the Wii Remote Plus, or WRP for short.
The WRP has the Wii Motion Plus accessory already built inside of it and it is the same size and weight as the standard Nintendo Wii Remote when the standard Nintendo Wii Remote does not have the Wii Motion Plus equipped onto it. You have to remember that equipping and unequipping the Wii Motion Plus accessories just to play a game makes it where you don't want to play the game anymore.
Well, here it is my friends! The WRP! I purchased it and immediately tried it with my "Wii Sports Resort" game. Absolutely no problem! It works! It is not bulky or heavy!
Now, here is what is in the box. You get one Wii Remote Plus (WRP). 2 Panasonic brand AA batteries. One plastic outer case for the WRP to go into (it is the same material used for the standard Wii Remote. Maybe it is silicone?) One instruction manual.
HOWEVER, the instruction manual for the WRP does not tell you how to SYNC your new remote to your Nintendo Wii console, so if you do not have your old instruction booklet, I am going to do you a huge favor and type down the steps from mine. Please note that you do not need a working Wii Remote to start up your new remote.
Remember, I typed these steps out of my Nintendo Wii Operations Manual System Setup booklet
Step 1. Press the Power button on the Nintendo Wii console to turn it on.
Step 2. Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote (with the batteries inside of it). Press and release the SYNC button (a little red button) inside the cover. The player LEDs will blink.
Step 3. Open the SD card slot on the front of the Nintendo Wii console. Press and release the SYNC button (a square red button) on the inside of the compartment.
Step 4. When the player LED blinking stops, connection is complete! The LED that is illuminated indicates the player number.
NOTE: This procedure must be followed for each additional Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus added to your system.
Now, please note that you do not get a nunchuk with your purchase. The nunchuk is sold seperately and the nunchuk is needed with many of the games made by Wii.
One last note, the Wii Remote Plus has the Official Nintendo Seal on the box. That means that it is not made by a third party. It is made by Nintendo for Nintendo. I do not know about you, but for my Ninendo Wii, I look for the Nintendo Seal. I once purchased a fishing pole for the Wii and it did not have the Nintendo Seal. The Fishing Pole did not work and I had to return it to Amazon.com. It was a nightmare, so I wanted to include this.
Well, This remote is worth the extra $5 since I do expect Nintendo to make more games that will require the Wii Motion accessory and unless you want to plug and unplug the accessory to a standard remote just to save $5.00, purchase this remote.
Have fun playing "Wii Sports Resort" and I hope you get a high score! Remember, do not stop until you make to pro status because you can do it!

Great (when it's authentic) Nintendo Wii Remote Plus - Pink
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2012
My 20-yr-old daughter & her friends got to test out our two newer Wii Remote Plus remotes. (Blue & Pink, we already had the White & Black ones.) First one was using our older Black controller in a Kirby game. My 2-yr-old granddaughter picked up the Pink one and ended up activating it in the game...so I handed that off to one of the college kids. Then she was attracted by the Blue one, activated that one too...handed that off to her aunt to play Kirby. (Auntie took out a battery from the White one so it wouldn't activate a 4th player in the game.)The controls & buttons worked well on both new remotes. There were parts during play that the remote had to be shaken madly, so the "Plus" portion of the controller worked great! (Fun part was watching the 2-yr-old copy the older kids by shaking her White remote as she "played" the game with them.)This was my 2nd Wii Remote Plus - Pink. My 1st one was purchased on Amazon from an Amazon merchant. (Game Direct, now selling as GryoTek...DO NOT buy from them!) I sent that one back for a refund right away. (Ordered Fri, received Sat and filled out return form the same day) It was a very good copy. The A button felt "cheap" and it along with the cushy jacket were yellowed. The word "Pink" on the box was misspelled as "Bink". There were no batteries even tho' the box stated 2 AA batteries included, among other things. (pictures under the Pink remote posting)I ordered a 2nd Pink controller from Amazon right away on Sat, received it Mon and was able to make side by side comparisons before UPS picked up my return. My authentic remotes work wonderfully! Happy with all 4 of them. And it's kind of fun having one of each color so people know which controller is theirs.
