Using the Wii Remote

When Nintendo released their new Wii system late last year, everyone was curious to see what the deal was with the long one-handed remote that was to serve as the console's main controller. It's definitely more useful and handy than the traditional game controllers, and it looks a lot like a standard TV remote control. So just how good is the Wii remote, with all of its motion detection capabilities and interactive play?

It's definitely at least one step ahead of other game controllers with its advanced motion detection capabilities. The design of the Wii remote definitely has everyone in mind, from beginner to expert. Any user of this remote would probably agree that Nintendo got the design and functionality spot on. You must just remember to secure the remote to your wrist with the strap so that it does not slip from your hand when you're playing a game.

Unlike game pad controllers that either were limited by the length of their cords or the wireless versions that had problems relaying the information even from the smallest distance away, the Wii remote is wireless but uses short-range "Bluetooth" technology to communicate to a sensor placed affixed somewhere near the television being used. Up to four remotes can be picked up as far as 30 feet from the sensor, however performance is best when used within 16 feet. Going that far away from the screen almost doesn't make sense, so the distance shouldn't ever be a real limitation.

The Wii remote is very flexible and can be used by both right-handed and left-handed people. Hold it vertically for most games that require fighting, jumping, or swinging an object. It can be turned horizontally, like the original gamepads, to simulate a steering wheel for a driving game. Other activities that the remote can be used for include spinning, dropping, smudging, and flipping and more.

Nintendo designed several accessories for the Wii remote, although not all of them have been put to market. The nunchuck has a C button and trigger button, and can be used for many games, and comes in and oblong shape. The nunchuck plugs into the remote for communicating with the game, and it is held in your free hand. This attachment also comes bundled with the Wii console. The classic controller is the other attachment that Nintendo has made available. It is only used with the virtual console games that are purchased with special "Wii points". The list of virtual games greatly increases the number of games available for play on the Wii system.
