| Wii U System question |

| kittybones26:
Couple of quick questions....hoping someone can help me out. Got the family the Mario Kart 8 system bundle from Walmart and it only has the gamepad inside, no Wii U remotes. Can the original white Wii remotes (with the add on motion plus adapters) be used to play games on the Wii U? Can I play the newer Mario Kart 8 with the old original white Wii remotes and steering wheel or do I actually need to go buy new Wii U remotes? I plan on keeping the old Wii system and put it in the bedroom to watch Netflix, but wanted to know if I HAD to buy newer Wii U remotes when I already have 3 functioning ones from the older system. Thanks for the help. kittybones26 |

Each Wii U can only handle one of the tablet controllers, so don't go buying more of those. I believe any of the old Wii controllers work as long as it has "motion plus". |

Check each game, though most have an option to play with a Wii Remote. --- Quote from: kittybones26 on December 27, 2014, 07:13:59 PM ---Can I play the newer Mario Kart 8 with the old original white Wii remotes and steering wheel or do I actually need to go buy new Wii U remotes? --- End quote --- No, you can use any Wii Remote on Mario Kart 8. --- Quote from: kittybones26 on December 27, 2014, 07:13:59 PM ---I plan on keeping the old Wii system and put it in the bedroom to watch Netflix, but wanted to know if I HAD to buy newer Wii U remotes when I already have 3 functioning ones from the older system. --- End quote --- Not necessary. The new Wii U ones are the same as Wii Motion Plus/Wii Remote Plus controllers, just with new branding. But even then, original Wii remotes without Motion Plus will be fine for most things, including navigating menus. You only need Motion Plus for games that take advantage of it like Skyward Sword or Wii Sports Resort. |
