Review
Sporting the size of a traditional remote control, the wireless Wii Remote
is a multifunctional device that is limited only by the game designer's
imagination. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket you swing with
your arm. In a driving game, it serves as your steering wheel. For
first-person shooters, the remote acts as your weapon that you point at
an enemy. The list of potential uses goes on and on. Using Bluetooth
technology, the Wii Remote sends your actions to the Wii
console from as far as 30 feet away. As a pointing device, the
controller can send a signal from as far as 15 feet away. Up to four Wii Remotes can be connected at once, making for some great multiplayer fun!
In addition to its pointing and motion-sensing abilities, the Wii Remote also includes a speaker and expansion port for additional input devices, such as the Nunchuk controller.
