Nintendo’s controllers are known for their comfortable and ergonomic designs, and the extensive family of Wii U controllers is no different. With that said, some third-party Wii Pro controllers may have loud, “clacky” buttons, more sensitive control sticks, or a complete lack of gyroscopic controls, so read the online reviews before you buy.

For action-packed Wii U titles, the delay-free input of a Pro controller is the go-to control scheme of many dedicated players. When it comes to playing Wii U games that rely on motion controls, you can’t beat the accuracy of the Wii Remote Plus controller, but the original Wii Remote will certainly do in a pinch. Some Wii U games require the extra precision that the Wii Remote Plus provides, meaning you’ll have to upgrade your old Wii Remotes to play certain titles.
