Product Information

On November 16, 2009, the black Wii Remote and Wii MotionPlus was released as a bundle, and the black Nunchuk was released as a standalone purchase. In the years that followed, Nintendo released more Wii Remote Plus color schemes based on its first-party game franchises.

Nintendo's industrial designer Lance Barr said that the Wii Remote's expansion port is unsuitable for internal battery charging.

The Wii MotionPlus ( Wiiモーションプラス) is an expansion device for the Wii Remote, the primary game controller for the Wii.In 2000, the term " Weemote" was trademarked by Miami based TV remote manufacturer Fobis Technologies and was later used as the name of their remote designed for young children.

At E3 2006, a few minor changes were made to the controller from the design presented at the Game Developer's Conference.
