Best Answer

The wii controller works using infered heat it given off by the sensor bar

Eh? The Wii uses a combination of infra red and bluetooth for its controllers. The control strip contains a number of IR LEDS and the controller 'sees' these.

When you use the controller as a mouse, selecting menus etc or shooting objects, the control is via the IR element. The controller also contains an XYZ sensing motion array that communicates movement direct to the base via bluetooth. According to reports, the IR works the opposite way to that expected, with the sensor data being picked up by the controller. The IR information is also fed back to the console from the controller via the bluetooth connection. TC3

A wireless game controller means you can sit as far away from the TV as you like.

Put batteries in the back of the controller and push and hold the center button, a lite should appear. That means its on.

You turn on your Wii and then press the A button. Take off the battery cover on the Wii-mote (Controller) and then go to your Wii and open this mini door under the Reset button. Then press the red sync button on the Wii and the Wii-mote.

The Wii U gamepad is the primary control method for the Wii U. What sets it apart from controllers from other systems is the touchscreen embedded in the center of the gamepad that can be used to serve a number of functions, such as being able to play games on the gamepad without any need for a TV, or for it to function much like the bottom screen on the Nintendo DS and 3DS.

Aside from the touchscreen, the gamepad supports a number of control methods, sporting a dual analog stick control scheme with four face buttons making up the A/B/X/Y cluster as well as four digital shoulder buttons. (L, ZL, R, ZR) Built in accelerometers and gyroscope allow for basic motion control as well, similar to that of a Wii Remote.

The gamepad also sports a front-facing camera that can be used for a number of different functions, as well as support for near-field communication. Much like the Wii Remote, the gamepad communicates with the console through Bluetooth.

The Wii remote should automatically connect by pressing A, with the Wii console on. If you mean a classic controller, it connects to the Wii remote like a nunchuk.

It's looks really like a Nintendo Wii on the outside but, it's more advanced and added more newer features to the Nintendo Wii U. You should get one if want! =D
