How to Sync a Retro Wireless Controller to a Wii

The Retro Wireless Controller for the Nintendo Wii is a controller made by Datel. It is intended as a replacement for the Classic Controller made by Nintendo. This controller is most commonly used for Virtual Console games, but also is used by a few games not made for the Wii remote, such as Super Smash Brothers Brawl. The most noticeable difference between the two controllers is that the Retro Wireless Controller does not need to be plugged into the Wii console or a Wii remote to be used. This controller is designed to sync using the same method as the Wii remote.
