If you have a Wii, multiplayer is great! If you don't have a Wii, GET ONE!

it's essential to have enough controllers in order to enjoy the wii, and I received mine from Amazon quite quickly.
Wonderful Wii Remote January 19, 2007

Some may think the Wii remote is overpriced, but it is an impressive piece of engineering (the "smarts" is in the remote - not in the sensor bar).
I strongly recommend checking the strap (just got my replacement straps from Nintendo) on a regular basis, and putting a silicone controller glove on the remote helps to keep it from slipping.
I'm curious to see if third parties add Wii remotes to the mix, but the Nintendo one does just fine. Now I'm just waiting for the "shotgun shell" they showed initially...

I've been playing computer and video games for over 2 decades now, and this amazing controller is re-energizing game-play for the first time in years. Old game-play concepts are fun again, and more importantly, a multitude of new game-play concepts have been, and will be, invented to utilize the Wiimote. The force-feedback, plus the small speaker make even mundane things like rolling over a menu button *feel* "real". The first time you swing the Wii remote as your racket in Wii Sports Tennis, you'll realize gaming will never be the same again.
 Excellent Device, Excellent Design, Very minor gripes January 11, 2007
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Nintendo has, once again, completely reinvented the game controller. Like the D-pad, like shoulder buttons, like the analog thumb-stick, they've taken what we *know* to be the right control scheme for console games and thrown it completely out the window in favor of something.... else.
By this time, everyone should know what exactly this thing is supposed to do, so I won't reiterate. What I will say is that, quite simply, it delivers on the promises.
It works. It does exactly what they said it would.
Motion control, rumble, speaker, pointer, everything. Just like before, *this* is the way a console game should be controlled.
My only minor gripes:
Batteries: I really wish they had seen fit to provide a rechargeable battery option. I can only hope that a 3rd party will solve this problem, and solve it well (bonus points if they *don't* use the extension port of the Wiimote to charge the battery... so you can keep the nunchuck attached while charging)
Ergonomics: This is 90% perfect ergonomicaly, but I wish that come controls were a *bit* easier to access during play. I have fairly large hands, and I need to shift my grip to reach the top of te D-pad and the 1 & 2 buttons. I imagine that children or those with smaller hands will have even more trouble.
