Original wii remote or new wii u remote?

james_uk

Hi, My girlfriend has a Wii U which i got her for xmas, up to now we have just played games using the gamepad and also the gamepad pro, she is wanting to buy just dance 4 and i know you need the remote to play (possibly a couple of remotes if wanting to play 2 player)

anyway i was just wondering what the difference between the original remote is and the newer wii u remote, they both look pretty much identical, i am assuming the sensor bar is the same as the original as well.

would it be worth be getting the newer remote or will the older one be fine?

i did ask in a shop a while ago and i think the guy just said they are both the same apart from the name on the box.

any ideas please?

The old one works on the new one just fine. I have a Wii-U setup here and use the old Wii pads with it.
