Customer Reviews

Great controller, aside from lag
It comes in one of those horrid "you need a scissor to open, and cut yourself from the plastic" plastic packaging that inevitably scraped my hand, but luckily didn't draw any blood.

The package contains the controller (obviously), a small wireless adapter that attaches to the bottom of the Wii-remote (where the nunchuck's cord would attach), a pair of non-rechargeable AAA batteries, and two big-sheet manuals rolled into little bundles (each has a different set of languages).

Pros:
+ Controller feels solid (no squeeks or give).
+ Small remote adapter frees you from the cord you'd otherwise tether between the official classic controller and the remote.
+ Buttons layout (including "trigger" buttons by index fingers) is the same as the official classic controller.
+ Buttons layout played fine with Megaman 9 (virtual console game), with each color pair (right red button and blue buttons) both replicating remote's buttons 1 & 2, so you can use whichever pair you like.
+ Can recharge if using AAA NiMH batteries (not included) via mini-USB cable (not included).
+ More comfortable to hold than the standard remote.

Cons:
- Only two controllers can be used at once (wireless adapter and controller only have two pair settings: slow blink and fast blink). Meaning, only up to 2 people can use Wii Wing Wireless Controller, while players 3 & 4 need to use an official classic or standard remote.
- Didn't work with Tetris Party (virtual console game).
- Buttons feel a bit mushy, but it's a personal preference.
- Lag! It MAY be psychological, but when playing Megaman 9, there seemed to be a slight lag (0.5s) in pressing a button (eg. jump) and the game actually registering it.

Conclusion:
If quick reflexes isn't a defining factor (as in platform-jumping games) this is a great controller for classic games, which are typically purchased and downloaded via virtual console. However, if you play split-second reflex games like Megaman 9 or often play Tetris Party, either stick with the standard remote (using the standard rubber sleeve) or get the official classic controller.

Disappointed
I bought this controller mainly to play NES games on my Nintendo Wii. There are times when I want to hold down the B button and then press the A button to jump. Those are the two blue buttons on the wing, and it is difficult to use for that. For SNES it is a great controller. Remapping to allow the B button to be the leftmost red button and the A button to the bottom most blue button would be nice.

Its ok.. better then classic
Only played brawl and naruto ex, its an ok controller, feels great when you hold it but not a big fan of the L R buttons, feels a bit cheap as well as sounds. Home button, start and select are way too mushy (good thing most of the time dont really use too often_, but makes up in the controller buttons, directional is ok but a bit mushy too, functions great though very responsive especially without having to worry about attaching the remote to it, wireless connection is great and responsive.

Personally I have just the classic controller, Hori classic (great but not worth the price in my opinon), some wavebirds and the good old classic gamecube controller and this product (Nyko wing) would be on the bottom of my list, gamecube controller on top despite lack of wireless.
