Customers are saying

Customers admire the Motion Plus Bundle for its reasonable price point and the bright lights that connect easily. They appreciate that it works as well as the original controllers and find it easy to use. However, some users have experienced connectivity issues with the joystick, and others have found that it is not compatible with their Wii U consoles. Additionally, a few customers have noted that the fancy lights use up the battery life quickly, and some are disappointed that it does not have motion plus.

    This controller works just as well as the nintendo ones, and they are half the price. Very easy to pair with the console, and just as fast response as I expect from afterglow. One of the two that I got has a bum motion sensor in it, so I will be exchanging that one with no hard feelings.

    DONT BUY

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Does this product work with other accessories? yes Is this product cheap? yes Is the motion sensor good? sorta Will this product not work anymore after 5 uses? most likely Is it easy to get a replacement if it does break? yes and no I bought TWO of these (different packaging, same controller, same brand) and after about 5 times using them they BOTH just stopped working. The motion pointer on them during actually gameplay were iffy (ex. mario galaxy), but it navigated the menu just fine before they didnt work anymore. It was a good remote when it lasted Trying to call PDP customer service is pointless because its an automated message telling you to go online. After registering a username and password pdp will give you an option to look at the warranty or live chat. None of them work. After submitting problem tickets, which they actually do respond to quickly. The only way to send a product back in is through FedEX labeling and shipping. How close is the nearest FedEx to you? think about that. The nearest Fedex to me is about 65+miles.... thats around 130+miles round trip to send in junk... Dont buy because it will more than likely break and you will more than likely experience faulty customer service and a bad means to replace a junk product

    Great after market controller. The colored lighting is great and can be turned off as well if you don't want it on (not sure when that would be though!). Good response, easy to setup and use. Have had no issues with performance or quality of product to date.

    As anyone with kids know, controllers for video games typically have a very short life. The licensed controllers are great, but at $40 a pop can become expensive when you have to buy multiples. Found this one on sale and gave it a shot. It linked up with the Wii U easy enough and we have had no problems with it. It might not work quite as good as the licensed controller, but the differences are minimal. Give it a try, you won't regret it.

    So far this has been a great "cheaper" purchase compared to the stock product. By the battery is where there is a button to press to remove the glowing lights, etc ( 3 modes). Its been about 1 month and the batteries are just starting to go 'red' ( alot of playing since xmas)

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    For a price thats less than a wiimote by itself and the added led after touch, this is a good buy. The wii mote feels like the real one with all the buttons in the same place. The included nunchuck makes this the better choice over a Nintendo brand wii mote. The remote also includes wii motion plus which makes it a better purchase than rock candy brand wii motes which cost 10 dollars less and do not include the nunchuck or wii motion plus so that will limit the library of games available and will cost more money to buy a bulky attachment.

    If ONLY it would STAY paired...

    Nice looking, shaped better for hand use and not without a touch of "flair" in the visual department, The Afterglow - Motion Plus Bundle for Nintendo Wii U and Wii - Clear is ALMOST a nice addition to my Wii unit unit.....IF ONLY THE DARN THING WOULD STAY PAIRED! After a couple of times you become frustrated at having to "re-pair" the controller each time you start the unit. Customer service is nonexistent if you can "catch them" during business hours (which I cannot) and they promising to return your call for assistance when leaving a message, but never do. I am thankful I have an original controller to assist in "re-pairing". The "pairing" button on the back does NOT seem to work and I can find no other information in regards to "how" to do it other than using my original controller to assist. I would APPRECIATE any assistance with HOW to keep the unit paired to this controller. I'll stand on my head and eat a bug if that's what it takes! (lol) Sure is purty to look at though. (Insert lengthy, frustrated sigh)

    First time wii user, got the off-brand for como nun-chuck and joystick for better price compared to nintendo label. Had a lot of problems syncing, would stop detecting remote mid-play, then wouldn't recognize signal at all. Exchanged it for another (of the same) new one seems ok so far.

    This controller is a value because it has the motion sensor built in and comes with the nunchuck however it does disconnect sometimes playing guitar hero and call of duty.

    Used on Wii. Good for around half $ of Wii brand. 1 & 2 buttons aren't inline like Wii which caused a problem with a cover we have. Wish it came with a jacket/sleeve.

    This thing is pretty cool. Bought it because it was decently priced and I needed another control for my girl. She loves it but the LEDs are very bright and we had to switch them off. Some stay on though no matter what. Also it seems to eat batteries quicker than the regular control.
