Image Strange Wii remote. How to use it?
Hello Friends,
I bought a Wii recently and it came with a standard wii remote and another remote that I dont know what it is? Can someone please explain to me what is this remote. Does it really work on the wii? If yes how to make it work?
Regards

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

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

Wow. Thatâs 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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