Wii Remote

The Wii Remote is the controler for the Wii console. Sometimes, it is called "Wii-mote" by fans. The controller is very innovative and has features unpresent in past video game controlers. The most notable feature of the Wii's remote control is it's motion sensing ability. You are able to do multiple things with this remote, including swing it, aim, pull back, use it as a steering wheel, and much more. It also has two seperate controls, the main one or the one that is usualy displayed, resembles a standard telivision remote control, and the second unit, title the nunchuck expansion, allows the player to have more gameplay abilities. Some games require the nunchuck expansion, which is possibly why it came free with the console. Much like the Wii remote, the Nunchuck also has motion-sensing controls

Buttons
The following will explain the buttons on both the Wii's remote and the nunchuck expansion.

First off is the Wii remote, this unique controller has a total of nine buttons, five of which are actully used in gameplay (though most of the time, you will just use three of the buttons - The d-pad, the B button, and the A button, there's the home button, the 1 and 2 buttons, the Wii-mote also has a built in power button for turning the system on and off, and there's also the plus and minus buttons.)The next is the nunchuck controller, which has the joystick and a Z button in back. It has a c button above the Z button that is used in certain games.

Wiimote
The name Wiimote has been used since the console's name change was announced. Recently, however, a gaming company not affiliated in anyway with Nintendo copyrighted the word "Weemote", and threatened to sue gaming site NSCX for using the term Wiimote. Not wanting to be dragged into legal action, the company supposedly took an hour of their time and removed every instance of the word on their website so as not to confuse the reader, stating that while they're doing this, they still think it's a "bit of a stretch".
