Pro Pack Mini
Are your Wii remotes and Nunchuks just too big and cumbersome? Well then Power A has a solution for you: the Pro Pack Mini. It includes the compact-size MiniRemote and MiniChuk, both of which are 35% smaller than their first party counterparts, but feature bigger illuminated buttons and a soft surface finish to eliminate the need for all those tacky remote jackets. The MiniRemote is also fully compatible with WiiMotion Plus.
While the build quality of mini controllers from various manufacturers has been hit or miss over the years, I've always liked the idea, mostly because my hands are a tad smaller than average. What's more, with Motion Plus attached the Wii remote can get a bit unwieldy, which this mini version could alleviate. I'm looking forward to test driving the Pro Pack Mini when it hits shelves this August at the MSRP of $50. It will be available in black, purple, pink and teal.
