Would I be able to hold something with these? I do boxing on the WII and wonder if I could hold the controller?

Yes, you can easily hold the controller. The gloves really don't impact use of your hands at all. I wear them while doing chores (except washing dishes ;-) ).

Yes. The weight is on the top of the and and the glove is valcroed around the palm.

It should also be noted that you can use a Gamecube controller as well with the Mayflash adapter (and of course Nintendo is releasing the official adapter with Smash Bros. later this year).edit: Mayflash Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii/Wii U

They keyboard functions will work, and the mouse functions will not work.You'd think, with the wii interface, mouse support would be an easy no brainer, but alas, no.

You can literally use any controller: the old Wii controllers work as well as the standard one that comes with the Wii U.I prefer the Wii U wireless controllers they made for the system

I can't speak to this but we are very happy with the controller. We use it for Skylanders, Mario Kart, and Sports Resort. It works just as effectively as the Nintendo brand one we also have, these are extras. I don't know if this helps....

If your son has the Wii, there should be four controller outlets on top of the device, under a plastic cover. If he has the wiiU, the controllers are NOT compatible.

I am sorry but we do not carry controllers for these items, and we cannot recommend which brand would work. You may need to find something universal.

I suppose the could be. I have small hands but felt they were too small for throwing. They didn't feel comfortable. Now, I gave them to my son--who has bigger hands--and he loves them and says that he is getting good at it. I gave him a book on how to throw also. I would say they are good for beginners based on my son's experience.

It depends on the model of your Wii, the newest versions doesn't have the controller slot or the GameCube memory slot.

The only updated item is that you get the newer Wii Remote Plus controllers.These controllers are so much more comfortable to hold when playing games.You get only one Wii Remote Plus & one Nunchuck.

As bag gloves, these would be awful. The weight is across the knuckles and would hurt. They work great for shadow boxing, however.

You can use your keyboard. I use it too, but it's not comfortable. When you want to do a bigger combo, it is impossibble to make it succesfull. So I recommend controller to play.

Yes... the Wiimote and the nunchuck can be used to play. Personally, I think it's easier to play with them and not use the Gamepad due to the motion commands and button layout.

There should be a cover/ panel on the wii covering 4 ports that they can plug into. Remember these are not for the wiiU. Just the wii.

I'm not a petite woman, but yes, you should not have any problem grasping these. Mostly, you lay the pad of your hands on the top and loosly grasp with your fingers. They are so stable that I could do pushups without grasping them at all with my fingers. They are tacky and don't move, and I use them on a concrete floor.

Sorry, I dont know about using it with the WII U as i dont have a WII U. But I have the balance board and hand controllers. I have been using this FOR YEARS and I still enjoy it a lot! Would love to see some squells to it. Like walk in different cities or countries.
