How to Disassemble a Wii Controller

The Nintendo Wii is a revolutionary video game console made by Nintendo in 2006. The Wiimote or Wii Remote is the primary game controller for the Nintendo Wii. The Wii controller's main feature is its motion sensor, which means that if you play a football game, you have the ability to throw the football by gesturing the Wiimote. The Wiimote has one directional pad, a "Start" (+) and "Select" (-) button, "A" button, "Home" button, "1" and "2 button" and "Power" button.
