> [@OfficerK](#): > > The only problem I see with this is that the controllers are going to end up breaking and the sensor is not going to work anymore… My first impressions of the remote are very positive. It’s one of the most solid controllers I’ve seen. And surprisingly for being lightweight, it feels like I could toss it against a wall with little damage. The only weak points I noticed with the with entire system is: -Clear plastic clip on nunchuck(sp?) that the safety strap is run though could break if it was bent at any severe angle. -Clear plastic support base could break with abuse. If you even attach it. -Negative battery terminals on the remote seem a bit on the cheap side. But that could be due to the fact they used more of a rotary style spring to hold the batteries in tighter. Besides that the build quality seems to be top-notch. The machine it self is about the size of 3 DVD cases stacked. The only noises from it that I’ve heard are from the drive itself are on the initial reading of the disc. ---

I’m surprised how precise the remote is, this is damn amazing, super easy to use.

So far I absolutely love this. 😃 > > Btw, if anyone wants to try it out let me know. It’s so darn nifty. I may take you up on that after thanksgiving if i don’t end up killing someone for one.

Holy Fuck, I am actually sore from playing this so much yesterday. Wii\> \*. Video games aren’t supposed to be this fun and interactive. I was actually sweating after 3 rounds of boxing. I played Wii Sports for about 12 hours yesterday with my friends, I didn’t even open Madden or Zelda yet, and I played Call of Duty for about 10 minutes just to see how the controls worked/felt. They were fine. I can’t wait for this long weekend so I can get started on Zelda. This thing actually got my G/F and my buddies G/F to get off their asses and actually play the video games with us rather than watch. They were getting pissed if we skipped their turns or played without them. ---
