Customer Reviews

Classic controller is good, nunchuck only lasted one month due to poor design3
I recommend the classic controller in this pack, which has a nice feel to it and has worked reliably for me, but the nunchuck is garbage. The design is such that the Z button will start sticking after a while and require you to take it apart and clean it to get it working smoothly again, and at least in my case the control stick became wonky after about 1 month, when it started registering as being pressed in a direction when it wasn't being touched. So, if they ever sell the classic controller alternative separately I'd recommend that, but this combo pack is a bust. Then again, at it's current price on Amazon, maybe it's not such a bad deal as long as you just consider it a good price for a good classic controller alternative.

Excellent 3rd party controller5
I have used both the Nintendo licensed classic controller, and the Nyko Wing. I prefer the wing, because it feels more natural in my hands. As for the bundled nunchuck, I still prefer the Nintendo one, but after 20+ hours of use on the Nyko 'chuck, I would recommend it to a person looking for an extra 'chuck, especially if you are buying a classic-style controller. For the money, this is DEFINITELY worth it, and you won't regret it (unless you want to drop the $$$$ on a wireless Wing, which I haven't used, but I suspect it feels the same as the wired version).

Pretty decent, but stick with 1st party instead.4
The main selling point to these controllers are their alternate shapes. I don't know about the original wireless ones, but the Control Pak kit controllers feel slightly flimsy. My main gripe is the lower quality of the buttons. I sold my official Nintendo classic controller for this (mainly for the Wing), but I can't recommend this purchase just for the more comfortable shape.

I'm mostly referring to the Wing. As for the Kama, the trigger-like Z button is a bit odd...but overall pretty good.


Wired Wing classic controller: 6/10

Wired Kama nunchuk: 8/10


Not bad, but personally I think Nintendo's are better. The only reason to get these are if you want the wireless versions. Don't get the wired versions in the Wii Control Pak Essential Controller Kit.
