The Latest Review of Wii Remote (Wiimote)

Sept. 8, 2009 - PRLog -- Yesterday I unpack my Wii all excited. The Wiimote came in sufficent packaging, no damaging, and from there I had to put the batteries that were also supplied into the Wiimote. Easy as pi.. er, pie. The wrist strap was also already attatched to the Wiimote saving valuable gaming minutes trying to somehow tie a knot to attatch it.

I find the 'A' and 'B' buttons really comfortable to press. The three centre buttons ('-', 'home' and '+' are also fairly accessible). I also think the D-Pad is easy to use but last night when my Dad was trying out Bowling on the Wii he was having trouble setting up his shot with D-Pad. He NEVER plays games though, so that wasn't surprising - the last time he played a game was Bust-A-Move on Nintendo 64 (and he's colour blind).

A problem with playing with the Wiimote on multiplayer is that you need a big room. Consider you're all standing up playing Wii Sports throwing your arms around. There is bound to be trouble. There are clear warnings to keep away from people and objects when playing, but how big of a bedroom does Nintendo think we have.

Overall Nintendo have put together a great controller here that will be fun for all the family. I would recommend it for everyone, but hopefully you won't have any accidents with it.
