Love the wireless controller

The Wii remotes best feature is that it is wireless. We purchased a Wii system 8 months ago and immediately paid the extra money for a second remote. We knew that we would need it to play multi player games like tennis and boxing. The remote uses a wireless sensor from the game system that sits on top of your television. I have been really impressed with how it conserves battery power and does not eat through battery life. The remote has proven very durable even with a three year old and six year old using it regularly. We insist on the protective skin and strap and do not allow them to play without the strap on their wrist. We have not had any problem with them dropping or throwing the remote even in bowling. The controller works well even from the far side of the living room. The controller that we bought even came with another game for Wii. This made the controller a good buy. With the Wii you are able to create Mii's or individual characters. It is possible to save your Mii to the remote and transport your character to other Wii systems when you go to other peoples house. Makes for more fun!
