Thread: What the difference between these Wii/Wii U controllers?

  1. #1

    Default What the difference between these Wii/Wii U controllers?

    Apart from the price?
    R660

    R400

    Even the Nunchucks have a R200 difference between the wii U and Orb brand

    I don't have first hand experience with Orb, but given my experience with other 3rd party Wii accessories (Nyko, Nitho and Logic3), I have to say that it's hard to beat the top quality of Nintendo products. If you aren't using it as a primary controller, then usually the 3rd party options aren't a problem, but I personally wouldn't replace a Nintendo one with something else.

    I'd say research if it's a properly licensed product, otherwise it might suck for motion-control.

    Can't find any info about it, apart from that it's only being sold by South African stores mostly. Saw a few on ebay with the price tag of 20
    pounds. Also it makes it difficult to know if people are selling the real deal secondhand or one of these new Orb controllers.

    If I get one, it won't be the primary controller, but for additional players.

    Oh well, gonna play Guinea Pig for this one. Found a website that sells them for even cheaper so for R450 I can get both a motion plus controller and Nunchuck. Will use the money I save (hopefully not waste) to buy Zombi U. A new official Nunchuck alone costs around R350...

    i imported 2 wii controllers from china about 2 years ago and it was exactly the same as the original one, and i paid about R150 for the mote+nunchuck and glove with free shipping, just check on ebay. In SA you get ripped off

    No credit card, no paypal. Life is hard...
    Saw some cheaper ones, but not that cheap. Did the remote come with motion plus?

    Looks like I got what I paid for, if you hold top right analog stick you can't press Z on the nunchuck. Avoid it if possible.
    The remote seems okish, but the buttons just don't have that "soft" feel when you press them.

    Think the Nyko brand would of been a better choice. Although nothing beats the original.
