Very Nice third option controller,
by A. Pilonieta, 2010-02-14

The Wand of Nyko works very well with Wii, but it don't works with the Wii motion plus, unless you send it to Nyko to be upgraded.

El Wand the Nyko funciona excelentemente bien con la consola Wii, pero no funciona con el Wii motion plus a menos que se envíe el control a Nyko para ser actualizado.

Wish I would have bought the original Wii controller,
by R. Johnson, 2010-01-18

I have to re sync the Wand almost every time I turn the system on. Communications between the wand and the Wii console also become dropped fairly often during game play.

The Wand also sometimes turns the Wii consol off unexpectedly. I am assuming that it is the Wand that turns the Wii console off, because this only happens when the Wand is being used. If only the Wii Remote is used, the Wii console never turns off unexpectedly.

I sure do wish I didn't try to save a few dollars.

Bad Product - AVOID IT,
by Glenn A., 2010-01-12

We got this Nyko wand when we got our Wii. However, right out of the box it was a disappointment. It was very difficult to sync-up with the Wii. Even when it did sync properly, it failed to work correctly. It would work fine for a few minutes, but then the buttons and motion would stop responding and the video game character would stop moving. Whoever was using the Nyko would inevitably loose the game. We know that the problem wasn't the Wii itself since the Nintendo wand that came with the system worked great. We also know it wasn't the batteries since we changed them three times. This is just a poorly made product. It was extremely frustrating. The worst part is that it was broken, despite being brand new. I contacted Nyko directly but they haven't replied. Poor customer service too. Save yourself the frustration and money, avoid the Nyko wand.

Quality is not job 1,
by Natalie D, 2010-01-05

Bought one to add to our Wii system and it would have to be re-sync'd every time I turned the wii off. That was not acceptable to me because I have small kids and would have to do it myself everytime they played with it. The store gave me a replacement, but it had an LED that wasn't working and also needed to be re-sync'd, but not everytime. Not worth the hassle for me. Also noticed that the battery cover doesn't fit snug on the remote, which doesn't cause problems, but doesn't inspire confidence in the design.

Great alternative to Wiimote - Everything works,
by G. Velez, 2009-12-28

I got a new Wii for my son for Christmas and wanted an extra controller. I saw this Nyko Wand and decided to give it a try as it was less expensive than Ninterdo brand. Let me tell you, this nyko wand works great. I see no difference between original and the nyko. The best thing is that it has exactly the same shape as the original and works with all wiimote attachments. I had no issues using the Motion Plus attachment and playing Wii Sports Resort. I highly recomend it. Even battery packs to wiimote fit the wand.
