* Wiimote audio will only work with -TR units (non-TR units output just a garbled mess of noises or no sound at all)
* The latency is higher, making some games (especially if they use Motion Plus) feel "harder" to play if compared with a real Wii
* It's guaranteed to work only with genuine Nintendo Wiimotes (fake/3rd-party units are hit or miss -- most of them won't even sync)
* Some games allows to write or read data into the Wiimote built-in memory (e.g. saving Miis from Mii Channel, storing controller and name settings from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, etc), most of these won't work correctly or the Wiimote will simply disconnect upon trying to use the feature.
* Games that require the Motion Plus have some detection issues (you might need to plug and unplug another accessory -- e.g. a Nunchuk -- before the game notices you have Motion Plus)
You won't have any of these issues with Bluetooth Passthrough assuming you have a BT adapter that works well (e.g. the real Wii BT module modded to USB is fully compatible), so, despite BT Passthrough being a bit more finicky to setup (and limiting the save-state functionality a little), it's overall the best option, anything Wiimote-related that works on a real Wii works the same in Bluetooth Passthrough...
I see, that's interesting. So using BT passhthrough is the equivalent of using the official Wii U GameCube controller adapter (aka 100% having a native controller), but for Wiimotes, right? Is anyone selling already-modded Wii BT adapters anywhere?
Or alternatively, is there a PCIe Wifi + Bluetooth combo card with good / almost perfect compatibility?. I'm gonna need to add WiFi to my desktop PC soon because I'm taking it somewhere else for college and I won't have ethernet, so it would be nice if I could kill two birds with one stone.
