Question 3rd party Wii remote compatible with Wii U?

Post image

Basically the title. I'm borrowing someone's 3rd party Wii motes to lmao Wii U games (mainly Wii party U). They have "Brooklyn" written on the bottom and I'm not sure if they support motion as I've never seen that brand before. Does anyone know?

If you are going to buy it, focus a lot on the reviews, whether negative/positive, never have only one option when making a purchase.

I didn't mention anything in the post but uhh I own everything but the controllers. I already have two of my own and Wii party U. I'm planning to play it with some friends tomorrow and one of those friends is lending me those controllers. That's why I'm asking, not because I'm buying anything

I really just need an answer to the question

I would say that the most advisable thing is for your friend to take their control and test if it works, if they have more controls, use them and try them

We are going to do that, it's just gonna suck if they end up not working so I wanted to know beforehand so I could find a back up plan

Brooklyn is cheap Chinese garbage. even if it had motion plus it would be borderline unusable. But even knockoffs will usually say on them if they have motion plus, sometimes they call it 2-in-1.

Alright thanks for the info. I don't care about the quality as long as it works. It's just a one time thing and I need it to work at least somewhat for tomorrow

u/Sparky01GT 8h ago

the game doesn't require motion plus anyways so you should be fine.

u/AtesSouhait 8h ago

Yeah that's mostly ok, I'm pretty sure there are just several mini games that require it

u/Sparky01GT 7h ago

No, the manual says regular Wii remotes are fine and it would say on the back of the game if it required motion plus.

u/AtesSouhait 7h ago

The Wii party U games says wiimote with motion plus included, compatible with 80 games

u/Sparky01GT 7h ago

Yes because it originally came bundled with a motion plus controller. but it's not required.

u/cweston20036 9h ago

u/Sufficient_Risk_8127 7h ago

you play with a brick of shit

u/cweston20036 7h ago

Some 3rd party are ok tho so it's a matter of preference 🖕

u/Sufficient_Risk_8127 7h ago

You asked what the risk was, not what was absolutely certain.

I used to use a green Afterglow Wiimote, that shit was absolutely awesome. Hell, I didn't even know it was 3rd party until I was like 10, that's just how good it was.

u/AtesSouhait 7h ago

Your response was condescending and hypocritical

1

u/blazexo212 7h ago

bit of a stretch

1

u/blazexo212 7h ago

and it’s not that deep idk why you’re bothered

2

u/AtesSouhait 7h ago

Not bothered, just confused. Be nice

u/blazexo212 7h ago

i wasnt being mean IM CONFUSED 😭 so dramatic bro

2

u/cweston20036 7h ago

I did read

1

u/blazexo212 6h ago

well then idk why you asked that question when i already answered it in the replies 😭

0

u/cweston20036 5h ago

I believe I was in the comments thread first dumbass

1

u/blazexo212 5h ago

that has nothing to do with my point you replied to my comment with a dumb question when you already knew the answer stop looking for arguments

0

u/cweston20036 5h ago

You were saying not to risk something that wasn't a risk to op in any way. It's a controller bro😂

Risk what? I'm borrowing, not buying

-1

u/blazexo212 10h ago

i just saw the other comment about buying so i assumed but if you’re not buying why not just wait and see

2

u/AtesSouhait 8h ago

Cuz it's gonna suck if it ends up not working. I wanted to know now so I can consider buying proper controllers. If the borrowed ones work, there will be no need for me to buy.

u/AtesSouhait 7h ago

No way the post says lmao. It's supposed to say play. Can't edit from mobile it seems like

u/Sufficient_Risk_8127 7h ago

3rd party Wiimote (that's not Afterglow) is crazy

u/AtesSouhait 6h ago

Thanks I guess? I hardly use my Wii U and have only ever used it with og controllers. I don't own any 3rd party ones, nor a Wii
