That looks terrible. I can't see myself ever buying one, even if it is a hell of a lot cheaper. Third party hardware sucks.

True, but the turning point for me is that it's
TOTALLY WIRELESS
NO WIRES!

Probably wont get, but the Wiimote should of had the Lithium rechargeable battery though.

Can they really call it a Wii Remote? I thought Nintendo would have had that name trademarked.

Rather poor attempt to jump into the third party controller market on Wii, but at least it beats those $20 plastic shells!
Maybe they should have waited until the MotionPlus tech was released, then built it into their own Wiimote (meaning no stupid accessory) and released it in a few colours other than Wii White and then even I would have considered it. But for now I guess they can go rot in the bargain bins with Madcatz PS2 hardware.

hahah, i was like ok it's totally wireless, but does that mean it has wires?
I read one line down and saw NO WIRES, so im now assured that it has no wires (possibly none internally either, which means it works by use of magic)

You guys seriously need to gain some business smarts.

Datel have raped the Wii-Mote, just as Thrustmaster have raped the GameCube controller.
Posted 19th of October, 2008 at 09:46 pm by TSPhoenix
Pretty awful, I wonder how much of the terrible design is Datel sucking and how much is patent related. Regardless the pricepoint needed to be considerably less than the usual remote and its not.

I instantly printed out a photo of this remote when I saw it, took it to my room and I wan............................................... ..

It has a rechargeable battery. I might consider this. Too bad I already have five Wii Remote, all made by Nintendo.

I think I will stick to the normal Nintendo brand Wii remote.

Square buttons are ugly and not very ergonomic.

$74? For third party software?
So you're telling me that the Nintendo made controllers are cheaper? Awesome.

Still, I didn't think Nintendo would allow third parties to remake the remote. I can see another lawsuit, this time coming from Nintendo.

Didn't Nyko get in trouble with Nintendo not that long ago for their 3rd party Nunchuks. Datel could be next.

I want to open one up, just to see if it truly is TOTALLY WIRELESS, NO WIRES!
Then I'll demand my money back if I find one.
