Sort of unrelated, but when I placed an order for this thing I noticed they were also selling refurbished remote + nunchuck bundles for $20. Doesn't seem like a bad price for both of them together.

Received mine today (ordered immediately when they announced it's availability via Facebook). Installation was fairly painless. The instructions reference an "included screwdriver" that is not included. It's a crosshead style, size 0 in case others wanna make sure they've got one handy.

Adds some weight to the GamePad - but I'll take it being a little heavier to be able to play longer on a charge.

I also received mine yesterday and it did not come with a screwdriver. Luckily, I was able to get one from the office and bring it home. I hope this battery will give me at least 5-6 hrs.

Yeah I didn't get a screwdriver either. Need to go buy one now or something. Fuck...

yeah i got a blue pair since it's cheapest and most reliable method to get an official blue nunchuk. They look completely brand new so 20$ is a total steal for them.

I got my order processed confirmation email today from Nintendo's online store. Hopefully they'll ship it with some expedience. I've been chomping at the bit since I ordered it back in late December. I'm looking forward to actually being able to sit down and play games on my Wii U for a decent amount of time w/o needing the charging cable handy.

Sorry for the bump, but I JUST got a Wii U and was curious, if anyone had heard of these:

About half the price of the ones on Nintendo's site and it's 3000mah instead of 2550. Worth it? Or am I better off going with the 100% legit Nintendo version.

I personally would only go with official, but I'm neurotic like that. *shrug*
