Need New Wii Controllers - Anybody see them on sale?

[EllenFrasier]

Our controllers are about shot. Instead of taking the nunchucks carefully out of the controller, they were ripped out, so I think we might need nunchucks too. Anybody see them on sale anywhere?
Does anybody have the kind that are not made by Nintendo?

Toys R Us has them on sale for the mini controller and nunchuck red, purple or black for 29.99.

Thanks for this! I was going to go pick up the mini remotes on sale for $15 but this is a WAY better deal. Grabbed Epic Mickey and Super Mario Brothers!

Thanks for the post I was looking to get another set of controllers this Christmas too, and epic Mickey was good too!

Thanks for posting the link and the great deal!

Since these are not Nintendo Brand, does anybody know if they will work with all the games, add on things like the wheel on Mario Kart, etc.

Ellen, Yes, they will work with the games, but what I am unsure of is whether they currently have the Motion Plus or if you have to upgrade it (on the Nyko brand ones). Supposedly from what I have read on another board, you can send it back to Nyko and they will update the firmware in the remote that allows it to work with the games that require the Motion Plus (like Sports Resort). The Nyko gets mixed reviews-it seems like people either love them or hate them, not much in between. Also, Nyko makes wheels so I know they would probably definitley fit in their own brand wheels but good chance they will fit in the Nintendo's ones as well.

FYI - My neighbor tried these and had nothing but problems with them. YMMV, but I'm in the market for these, too, and based on their experience (and what I've read online) I think I'm just going to stick with the Nintendo ones. I'm still wondering how the new ones with the built-in motion-plus work...that would be so much better than putting that attachment on, but they are sooo expensive!
