is this a first party Nintendo remote?

No this is an aftermarket unit. It vibrates a lot and does not work well with the rechargeable battery

If you are asking if this is an original Wii remote, no, I think it's a copy.

im pretty sure it is. it comes in Microsoft packaging and is completely overpriced. all joking aside yeah. i have ordered other wired controllers off of amazon and they were all cheap this one came out of the box and had a completely different presence than the others.

No. When you get it, You have to call Direct TV and give them the numbers on the sticker on the bottom or the device and they will activate it and walk you through connecting it to your system.it is not stand alone receiver,It is work only with Genie receiver .

This remote is to control a receiver unit not necessarily a DVD player. It says on it that this will control one but I have not tried it, sorry.

I actually haven't tried that out, I can test it out in a bit. Update: I have tested it on Ubuntu 12.04. Nothing extra to do for the controller or adapter to be detected. I gave it a go on the zsnes emulator and configured the inputs and it worked out fine for every button. Played Super Mario World on it and everything responded like it would when I'm using windows. I have yet to try other games/programs on Ubuntu.

In the parts I've played all players needed a Wii Remote, not necessarily wii remote plus. The Wii U gamepad got passed from player to player for some specific individual challenges.

No, for that, you need a Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro. Or better yet, a Gamecube Controller Adapter for Wii Remote.

I've only just used the rechargable remotes that came with my Wii package. I did have to buy a new CD as we wore out our original game CD

I bought it because it was the first item that came up in "Game Controller for a Mac" on Amazon. The packaging only indicates that it works with Windows os', but I plugged it in to my IMac with the back-switch set to Direct, and the controls came as accessible for the first game I tried, no driver to install or "Controller Companion" to pay for.

Honestly dont buy this third party controller, my wiiU doesn't recognize it at all

Yes this is an official Nintendo product. It does work with US Wii consoles. I'm assuming that you're NOT asking about Wii U.
725832
Not necessarily. It comes with wireless controllers that are suppose to be compatible with all 3 systems. You just have to have them pointed directly at the console. The console does work with original controllers, if you have them. The snes controller will only work for the snes games, sega for sega, etc

No. But there is another made for the old wii you can buy instead. This one is made for Wii U

Nope, you just play with the Wii Remote sideways like an NES controller. Of course if you want, you could get the Pro Controller too.

If you have an old SNES controler, then that will only work with the SNES setup.

Yea this controller is definitely a third party controller. To be honest I bought this because it was cheap but for some reason I kept getting shocked by the controller. Eventually it was unbearable and persistent to the point where I sent it back and just bought a microsoft controller. No complaints since then.

Yes. Alternatively, the game is also compatible with the previous console's controllers like the Wii's remote and classic controller.
