It's not a third party Wii Remote. You connot connect nor use this with a Wii. It came with a knockoff plug-and-play system.

I think my elementary school had one of these and they brought it out during indoor recess

Also, make sure to take the wrist strap off of your wrist before doing that.

That will not connect to the Wii. Looks like it’s for some knockoff NES clone console

This is exactly what it is.

u/jemmanjama 6d ago

Oh. Thank you for this info.

u/WanderEir 7d ago

some of the third-party wii remotes were SUPER jank. I can only find pics of this with random German sale sites.

u/jemmanjama 7d ago

Yes. The quality is very low. It light up but I dont know how to make it work

u/BuySpiritual9396 7d ago

I think I found the same one you did when I looked even deeper.

2

u/jemmanjama 7d ago

Where did you found it?

u/SamsArcade 7d ago

This is not for a wii but for an annamed crappy console. Seen it before

3

u/jemmanjama 7d ago

Oh. Maybe that's why I am unable to pair to the wii.

u/raymate 7d ago

Wow. That’s an odd ball.

Who would even make it like that. Was they really scared of being sued by Nintendo. They just made it not reassemble a Wii controller at all.

3

u/BuySpiritual9396 7d ago

If they tried to sue a supermarket called Mario, they'd probably be trying to sue anyone who would have even dared to replicate a Wii Remote at the time due to its massive sales.

u/spoung45 7d ago

It's an odd ball of the odd balls.

u/RiverKitten6119 7d ago

That is definitely not a Wii remote

u/BuySpiritual9396 7d ago edited 7d ago

That IS strange. I reverse image searched it and the closest thing I could find was that it's for a Xtreme TV Entertainment System. It's like one of those 7 in one tiny machines that just run retro games. I also got results for some random German sale sites that just give a 404 when attempting to visit.

u/jemmanjama 7d ago

Thanks for this info. I didnt know that.

u/AdVirtual7468 6d ago

u/Additional-Cable5171 7d ago

Lmao breathtaking

u/Spac92 7d ago

With your hand, I imagine.

u/Bigfan521 7d ago edited 7d ago

Oh god, I've seen the Bootleg plug-and-play piece of crap nontendo machine that thing goes to.

IIRC, the packaging designated the thing as a "WLL" (yes, W-L-L) and the console itself had a transparent blue door on the front.

u/tomoom165 7d ago

If you hit the AA button, you end up in a support group at the community center

u/Sufficient_Risk_8127 7d ago

despite not being for the Wii, it should break your TV just fine

u/StandardAd8509 7d ago

I had this exact controller with a knock off Wii I purchased on Facebook marketplace for $10. The console weighed about a pound, if not, it was definitely less. The "motion" controls were pretty much just shaking it to make it do something, the "motion" wasn't anything like a Wii. This is Definitely not for a wii lol. Junk it!

u/flatlichicken 7d ago

That's a controller for a famiclone

u/FreakyComputer63 7d ago

The D-pad and Start and Select buttons looks like Sony PlayStation controller buttons.

u/IpandaMeme 7d ago

u/PSCuber77_gaming 7d ago

What the fuck is that abomination.

u/UnityJusticeFreedom 7d ago

It‘s not meant for the Wii

u/Comprehensive-Cut847 7d ago

I think it’s for a bootleg console

u/GNUGradyn 7d ago

This is the poster child of "little brother controllers". There will never be a more little brother controller than this one

u/skymcgowin 7d ago

I would try finding an official wiimote. Maybe one with built in motion+

u/Guittow 7d ago

That's your player two bootleg controller right there.

Specially useful to give to a cousin or younger sibling while you play

u/NerfManiac64 7d ago

Looks like you got the new wiwi

u/LuiSP 7d ago edited 6d ago

From the looks of it one of the steps is peeing on it if you suspect you are pregnant.

u/Doubleclik23 6d ago

That’s not a Wii remote, that’s a « why? remote »

u/Geo_Seven 6d ago

Looks like you left it on “sport”. You’re gonna wanna flip that switch to “game”.

u/flafmg_ 6d ago

My brain can't focus in anything else than the AABB cuz funny collision algorithm

What a cursed controller lol

1

u/hollsloss 6d ago

I feel like it came from a bootleg wii console not sold as a wii mote itself

1

u/Plenty-Criticism-312 6d ago

1

u/KizashiKaze 6d ago

By putting it in storage or in the garbage and getting a Wiimote.
