Don't waste your money
PostedNovember 20, 2010
Let me just be honest with anyone who reads this review, and is thinking about spending their hard-earned cash on this controller:
DON'T DO IT.
Not only does this controller sooner or later become defective but it has the tendency to occur not even a year after you've purchased it! I bought this controller, not even realizing it was wireless at first because I was just concerned with getting a controller like the corded one I had bought before. I bought it from GameStop so I went back to GameStop to find something similar. Little did I know that my money would be flushed down the toilet no sooner than a year later.
I figured I must've dropped the thing too many times, since I had actually dropped it a few times on accident but accidents happen, right?
I replaced it with a brand-new one and it worked great for what little time I did play my games using it. I recently started up a game and went to use the controller. What happens? SAME ISSUES AS BEFORE. Now, I've only had this controller for maybe two months -- my birthday wasn't too long ago and my mom bought it for me as a gift. I was happy to finally be able to play GameCube and Wii games without issue of control again.
This controller messed up and has the same issue with the analog control. If you can use the directional pad to move around then you're alright but if you're a person who plays RPG's, survival horror, etc. like I do then you need to STAY AWAY FROM THIS CONTROLLER. It's awful! You're better off buying the wired version since this version seems to have SO MANY ISSUES.
Hope you take this advice to heart, 'cause even if it doesn't mess up on you at first, it'll do it at some point.

Starts out strong, but kills in the long run.

I originally purchased this for my younger sister. She bought a few GameCube games for the Wii and this was perfect for our setup. At first this was the best wireless controller I'd ever used. It's nice and comfortable and allowed us to play while sitting across the room. After a week or two, the controller began to act up. Characters would run in the wrong direction, or start moving of their on accord. Replacing the batteries seemed to help until finally nothing worked and it began causing the characters to run amok. So my family agreed to buy another one and pass off the experience as just some random incident. It's been a few weeks since we've purchased the new controller and just the other day we noticed it starting to do the same as the first. I'm confident it won't be much longer until this controller crashes and another $***** is wasted. If you are looking for something longlasting and worth the money DO NOT BUY this item!

This problem can usually be countered by removing the receiver from the controller port and blowing in the connector. It happens with all controllers.

not bad for basic games
PostedJune 23, 2009
My little kids have gotten into Super Mario Bros. - the retro SNES version - so I got this controller for their little hands and the fact that it's wireless. SMB is a fairly simple game, so this works fine for it. No problems linking up. There's one problem: if you play with your Wii in some kind of organizer, there needs to be enough clearance for the dongle to fit (it does not fit in mine without sliding the Wii out.) Also, this and other wireless dongles are wide enough to impede plugging two of them in side-by-side. You'll need an extension cable or alternate wired/wireless in the Wii GC controller slots.

This controller is a piece of junk. when i first got it, i got it so i could lay in my bed without worrying about wires. at first, it worked pretty well. not much of a lag, pretty responsive, but then it screwed up, or i dropped it one too many times. The c-stick will sometimes move in the game and I didn't even touch it. With the joystick, if i flick it to the left in melee, sometimes my character will turn and face the right, which is a big no-no when playing a game like melee. If I flick the joystick up, i will move down sometimes, which is, again, a big no-no in a game like melee. In conclusion, I'd recommend that you don't pick this up and just get a wavebird if you can find one, or have a wired controller and get the cord extender. It's only around 1 or 2 dollars at gamestop.
