Nintendo Wii Remote Plus Controller
The Nintendo Wii Remote Plus combines the standard Wii Remote with built-in MotionPlus sensors. You use it to convey movement, rotation and tilting to a game. The front includes the directional pad, A, 1 and 2; the B button sits under your index finger at the back. Some games use a vertical grip, while others ask you to hold the controller horizontally. The game's instructions explain the required position and buttons.
For pointing at the screen, the controller uses the sensor bar by the television. Its wireless connection is with the console. A built-in speaker and vibration can accompany game actions. A Nunchuk or other supported accessory connects at the bottom; certain games require a Nunchuk. The controller runs on two AA batteries. Use a wrist strap for motion controls and leave space around your hands. Synchronise the remote with the console before playing.
MotionPlus is built into this model, so the separate expansion attachment is not needed for it. The additional motion sensing is used only by games that support it. The Wii Remote Plus also works with supported Wii U software, but does not replace every GamePad function. This offer is for the stated controller; games, Nunchuk, sensor bar and batteries are included only if explicitly listed. The examples below are games you can play separately.
History
When Nintendo introduced Wii in 2006, the remote took a central role. Swinging, pointing and tilting let players perform actions previously handled mainly with buttons. Wii Sports demonstrated this through tennis and bowling, among other sports. The elongated shape encouraged players to hold the controller sometimes like a remote and sometimes like an object used in a game. A Nunchuk added an analogue stick and extra buttons in the other hand.
Wii MotionPlus followed in 2009 as a separate expansion. It improved the tracking of rotational movement for games designed to use those measurements. Wii Sports Resort built sports around the position of your hand, including swordplay and table tennis. The original remote remained usable, but required the MotionPlus attachment for such games. That attachment increased the controller's length and sat between the remote and a connected Nunchuk.
Wii Remote Plus launched in Europe on 5 November 2010. Nintendo integrated the expansion into a body with the same dimensions as the standard remote and kept the accessory connector at the bottom. Players therefore no longer needed a separate MotionPlus attachment. Later, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword used the more precise motion tracking for Link's sword. Plus replaced the earlier controller design, while required accessories and supported controls continued to vary by game.
Five popular Nintendo Wii games
Wii Sports Resort uses built-in MotionPlus for sports on Wuhu Island. Swordplay and table tennis take the rotation and position of your hand into account. Some activities also require a Nunchuk, such as archery. Follow the game's calibration instructions to establish the starting position correctly. A standard Wii Remote without MotionPlus is not enough here; this Plus model needs no separate MotionPlus attachment.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword translates Wii Remote Plus movements into Link's sword swings. Enemies demand directed strikes rather than simply swinging quickly. Travel between the sky and areas on the ground, explore dungeons and use discovered tools. The original Wii release requires both MotionPlus and a Nunchuk, including for movement. This example does not refer to the later Nintendo Switch edition.
Wii Sports lets your Mii play tennis, bowling, golf, baseball and boxing. Swing or roll with the remote to determine an action's timing. Boxing requires a Nunchuk. The original sports do not require MotionPlus, but work with Wii Remote Plus. You can therefore use the same controller for the first Wii Sports and Resort's more detailed motion tracking.
Mario Kart Wii combines karts and bikes with tracks full of items and jumps. Hold Wii Remote Plus horizontally and tilt it to steer; a Wii Wheel is an optional holder. MotionPlus is not required. Local races with up to four players need one controller per participant. The original Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection has ended, so this description does not promise functioning official online races.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii brings side-scrolling levels with Mario, Luigi and the Toads to the same television. Hold the remote horizontally, jump with the buttons and use movement for certain actions and platforms. Up to four players can run through a level simultaneously, each with a controller. MotionPlus is not needed. Cooperation helps, but players can also accidentally push each other off an edge.
