Review: I recently purchased a Nintendo Wii game system. Due to the fact that the remote controls (otherwise known as Wiimotes) are battery-powered, I also decided that it would be a good idea to purchase the Nyko Charge Station for the Nintendo Wii...

Pros: Stylish
WiiMote Grip

Cons: Brightest LED Light... Ever!

The Bottom Line: A great purchase if you are looking to cut back on batteries!

Review:

So you did all of your homework and decided that you wanted a Wii over an XBOX 360 or PS3, and now you're looking into accessories that the Wii has to offer. You have a strange...

Pros: Matches Wii, will need batteries anyway

Cons: Doesn't hold charge, LCD light bright

The Bottom Line: Junk. Batteries don't last long.

Review: The Wii is kept in the adult section of the house which is a more visible area. We purchased the charging station for our entertainment center in hopes that this product would help the area stay neat and tidy.

Only one remote comes with...

Pros: Stylish and cute, easy to use.

Cons: Not as cheap as just getting ugly ol' rechargeables.

The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line runs its Wiimotes on biodiesel.

Review: When I bought my Wii, I kept hearing about what greedy battery-gobbling monsters the remote controllers are, and in fact I had already seen my long-suffering Wii-owning friends wearily breaking out Costco-sized tubs of batteries and changing the AA...

Pros:

Saves money on Batteries
Charging base

Cons: Poor battery life for SOME games

The Bottom Line: Yu will save on batteries, but may experience poor battery life.

Review: It is nice to have a game system that has a wireless control system... No interruptions from people or animals tripping over cords; being able to sit across a big living room without a cord extender; no tangled cords! Unless you want to spend a...

Pros: Save $$$, Ease of Use

Cons: Bright Charging Light (very minor problem)

The Bottom Line: If you own a Nintendo Wii, this is a must have!

Review: I, like most Wii owners, got tired of spending money on huge packs of AA batteries to play my games. I knew there were several options for saving this money with regular rechargeable AAs, charging stations that plug into the Wii via USB and this...

Pros: Works well, battery covers help you get a better grip on the remote, attractive

Cons: Battery covers don't fit snugly

The Bottom Line: This is a good product; if you spend a lot of hours playing Wii, it will eventually pay for itself in batteries. It's extremely simple to use and works well.

Review: The Nyko Charge Station was the first thing I bought for my Wii -- I figured it would pay for itself in the long run with all the money it'd save in batteries. And I have to say that it was a good investment.

The Wiimotes take two Double A...

Pros: inexpensive, great concept

Cons: doesn't work!

Review: I thought this would be a great idea so the kids could easily charge their wii remotes without much intervention from me. We've been through a few nyko's now and still haven't found 2 batteries that will consistently work. First problem was the wii...

Pros: Not bad if you use your 'mote without the protective gel cover.

Cons: If the protective gel cover is important to you, don't bother with this setup.

Review: The Nyko Charge Station for the Nintendo Wiimote is a good idea that has not been fully thought out and engineered. The basic concept of a recharger station for charging/storing a Wiimote is great, but the engineering has not kept up with Nintendo's...
