User questions & answers

Question: Does the Just Dance app work with Disney
Answer: Mike's got the right answer here. More complete details follow: If you have the physical disk, there are no additional charges, and you have all the games unlocked. If you don't have a physical disk you can download Wii Sports Club from the Nintendo E-Store for free and it gives you 24 hours demo time (realtime, not playing time) with the game. After that, you can purchase a a sport for $9.99 for permanent access, or you can get a day pass for $1.99, like if you just have some friends over and want to play for a day. Bowling, Golf and Tennis are each a separate $9.99, while Boxing and Baseball are combined into a single purchase, so its $39.96 to purchase all the games online. The current $80(!) price for the physical disk is not worth it unless you have no internet, ever.
Question: We can not select the avatar? Is the controller the problem
Answer: No, it's mostly using the Wii Motion Plus remotes. The Gamepad is an integral part of the two-player baseball and golf however.
Question: Is it in Spanish
Answer: I saw that too. I'm also very curious whats going on here. Half tempted to buy the 2 packs separately instead of together despite the $5 savings...
Question: Does this game work on the wii console
Answer: The NSFW expansion is the most brutal. The base game and all the other expansions are pretty brutal as well ;)

User questions & answers

Question: How fo i check to see if my order was accepted
Answer: You go back to the website you bought it from and call or email them about it.
Question: what does it mean when it says will not charge when wii power off
Answer: The charger is plugged into the Wii console so in order to have power to the charger the Wii console must be on. If the Wii console is off, the charger will have no power and will not charge the controllers. I leave mine on and change the input on the TV if I need to charge the controllers.
Question: How long is the supplied USB power cord
Answer: The USB cord is only a foot long. Had to literally set it next to an outlet.
Question: I have a Wii that is about 7-8 years old, will this work on the old remotes

  • Brand New in box. The product ships with all relevant accessories

User questions & answers

Question: Do you need lego dimensions to play this game or just a wii u
Answer: using the gamepad it can be two players
Question: Does this game include the DLC characters
Answer: I know this is old but might still be relevant since I just recently got this game on the Wii U for my Sonic-loving 5 year old. As a reference for difficulty, in Mario Kart 8, my son consistently comes in 12th place and we never go faster than 100cc. In Sonic racing which has pretty much the same control scheme with the Wii wheel, he is able to select Easy difficulty and he is in the top 3 for a majority of the races. The boats are trickier for him to steer and turn due to less traction and with flying he needed to get used to elevation which you don't need to worry about with the car/boat. Each course does seem longer and more varied than the typical Mario Kart ones so probably not as easy to memorize but he is still able to improve. He definitely feels a lot more encouraged with this game due to his improved performance over Mario Kart 8 or Mario Kart Wii. His focus is currently just on racing the courses in Easy mode and not unlocking anything and its providing him enough enjoyment so far.
Question: how does the multiplayer work? is it split screen
Answer: This is for Wii U console
Question: What age is this game best suitable for? I have a 5 and 4yr old and was wondering if this is a game they could play
Answer: The one I sell is the North American / US version. As such, no compatibility issues! Amazon should specify the region version to match the picture.

User questions & answers

Question: Is it backwards compatible for Xbox one
Answer: Usually no . Only if the two players will get too far away from each other then the screen will split vertically.Still one player can use the gamepad but as controller only because in multiplayer mode the gamepad screen won't show the game scene.
Question: Will it work on wii or just on wii u
Answer: My 7 and 8 year olds do great with it. My 5 year old struggled. He mostly just runs around and hits things. The Lego games are great because they are much like puzzles. You have to try and figure out the sequence of actions are before you can move forward. This proves a little challenging for my 5 year old and I would think most 4-5 year olds would enjoy it for the fact that they can "be Iron Man" or other character but they won't progress much in the game on their own and may get bored after a few minutes and want "help". Hope that helps.
Question: What are the supported controllers
Answer: The game is good I buy them for my boy of 7 years.
Question: Game says multiplayer but nothing in the game allows for more than one player. what am i missing? I have spent hours trying to figure this out
Answer: This version of the game is for the WiiU. So first of all, you have to have a WiiU system and not just a Wii game system. That being said, one player uses the WiiU game pad to play and the other 3 players use Wii Motion Control Remotes. It's a really fun game that1, 2, 3 or 4 players can race together at the same time. No internet connection required.
