The Wii Remote is powered by two AA batteries (included). Use only high quality alkaline batteries for the best game play experience and longevity of battery life.

The Nunchuk is a Wii Remote accessory that gives you an additional means of control in Nunchuk-compatible games. By connecting the Nunchuk to the Wii Remote via a short cable you can benefit from its extra buttons, analogue joystick and additional motion-sensing controls.
