After buying a set of 4 of my own Wii U controllers (and having to take them all back to get secondhand non-motion-plus wii controllers), I realized something cool.
One of the controllers I bought was a Chinese knockoff with motion plus built in, yet identified as a non-TR remote! I can confirm playing the Wii sports, etc, games perfectly with it on microsoft's bluetooth stack (and some candles as a sensor bar, still gotta get a real one). As in, no special modifications whatsoever, and it works on both stable and dev win64 builds!
I won't post any links, but you can find it on ebay without too much trouble - it goes under the moniker 'motion 2-in-1'. Full disclosure - the nunchuck was DOA on arrival, but I wasn't going to return it - I'd rather play my motion plus games and just use my working official Nintendo nunchucks ^^
So, some wild speculation:
-I am willing to bet that you can play motion+ games with MS BT stack with official Nintendo remotes if the remote is NON-motion+, but a motion+ attachment is used, and,
-I am willing to bet that some of the other Chinese knockoffs will also work with no special modifications as well (that is, if you are willing to risk the controller/nunchuck being DOA in the first place)
Can anyone else confirm? It seems like the official response is just to buy a BT adapter or force the Toshiba stack, but my gaming laptop came with BT built in, and I failed forcing the Toshiba stack (leading to me returning the 3 Wii U controllers). It seems like other options may be viable.
