I first became suspicious when I noticed I was losing all the games I played with the black controller, and winning all the ones with the white one. My friends and I experimented and confirmed that the black controller had a much greater rate of losses for whoever used it. In wii sports resort, dunks and shots were constantly missed, and in speed slice, slices were constantly misread.

We played around with it some more – we placed the black wii motion plus cover over the white controller. Turns out it is the COVER which decreases the sensitivity/accuracy of the controller. The black controller is perfectly fine. Our hypothesis is that the black cover absorbs the infrared signals to and from the controller. The clear cover transmits them.

I now have to buy a separate white wii motionplus to make up for this. And to play normal non motionplus games, I need to buy a new controller altogether. Ugh.

It took them long enough, but Nintendo has finally come over to the dark side! Holding this black Wiimote fills one with the sense that one can conquer any video game with a single swing towards the Wii Sensor Bar. A great multitude of foes fall frequently in the wake of this controller’s dark power.

As soon as I opened the package, my Wii games started rattling and shaking as each game tried to move itself behind another. They recognized that they were no match for the black Wiimote. Suddenly, a three star rating in Mario Kart Wii was an easy feat. 242 stars in Super Mario Galaxy? No problem! Even my guitar playing in Guitar Hero 5 improved.

The addition of the Wii MotionPlus accessory is an added benefit, but it’s really more about the prestige that comes with owning your very own midnight black controller. It goes without saying that the Wii Nunchuk Controller – Black is a necessary accompaniment and proves to be a worthy companion to the black Wiimote. Get them both. You will not regret it.

When it has came down to the Nintendo Wii, it has definitely redefined the way we play video games. But, with all the great hype, they haven’t been able to make alternating colors with their controller, only silver, until now. This brand new Wii-mote bundle includes a all new Black Controller, which gives a much sleeker look for when you play all your favorite Wii titles like Super Mario Galaxy and The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess. But, there is even more, with the success of Wii Sports Resort delivering to fans, it now includes the special Wii motion Plus attachment that is included with the Wii-Mote, so you don’t have to get the Wii Motion Plus seperately anymore. It is a great must buy for anyone who wants to have all the needs of either swinging a gold club in Tiger Woods PGA ’10, or skydiving in Wii Sports Resort. While there are so many companies that are now starting to make third-party remote controllers for the Wii, you honestly are much better off with Nintendo, with the sleekness and true to form way they control your way to the top of the game.
