 This charger (doesn't include the Wiimotes or decals, sadly) has been on clearance at K-Mart for well over a year. I really wanted it just because of the wonky paint job (Cross eyed Undertaker! Scribbled on tats!) as a morbid curiosity, and finally broke down and bought one today as they only had a few left. I decided to wait until I could read more about it to decide if I'd open it or not (if it's no good I'd just as soon leave it mint in the box), but cannot find any mention of it outside of the occasional store. No reviews, no comments, nothing; not even Amazon has a review on it. I've got my camera and all that getting set up and I'm debating streaming an unboxing of it for my website, but before I do, I figured I'd ask you guys. Have any of you ever seen or used this thing? |

That's one of the ugliest things I've ever seen.
That being said, enjoy it to the utmost

I love how his tattoos look like they were drawn on by a child.

Well. Did my YouTube review of it. Language warning, I guess? I hope this is okay to embed. If not, let me know and I'll take it down.
As you probably guess, it's a terrible product that outright lies to you twice. Gonna e-mail Customer Support and see if I get a comment from them, but for now it's going on the shelf. At least the packaging was "collector friendly", so I can drag it out in awe when the friends come over throughout the years.

Yeah, I'd have bought this too. Wii chargers are clunky, ugly looking pieces of shit at the best of times, at least now your's will have a conversation starter. I bet you grow to love it.
Here's a question - someone offers you fifty bucks for it, would you sell it?

Here's a question - someone offers you fifty bucks for it, would you sell it? Even the good Wii chargers are touchy. I got one of the Nyko chargers, which are supposed to be the best, and it hardly worked. You have to set the remotes in the slot just so. Even then, I found that the remotes still weren't working. It's not that they weren't charging, it's that the connection between the battery pack and the remote itself was faulty. So you have to do a little bit of tinkering to get them to fully connect. /sidebar |

Here's a question - someone offers you fifty bucks for it, would you sell it? Nope, wouldn't wish it on anyone. As I pointed out in the review, it doesn't form a connection at all, so it doesn't even serve the purpose it's designed for. The only upside to it is the "collector friendly" packaging, so now it's sealed back in it's box to go on my shelf of mildly interesting things, to be pulled down when a wrestling fan is around to say "Will you just look at this piece of s***?" |
