Wii Remote Plus (Kinopio)

I bought this controller and 2 other like it for my son's birthday gift since we got him the Wii U. At first they seemed to work well, but after no time at all they started malfunctioning. At first we thought something was wrong with our console because it kept powering down in the middle of games, but we eventually realized it was the controllers. It wasn't until we switched to our old controllers that came with our Wii that we found out these controllers were the problem. It was so bad that we couldn't even play on the Wii U at all with these character controllers. I would not suggest purchasing from here. Maybe try GameStop or Wal-Mart to get some of the character controllers that will actually work.
