You Will Need Extra Controllers
Since the Wii only comes with one Nunchuck, and one Wii-mote, I would advise that you buy extras so you can include your friends and family in the games. The extra Wii-motes and Nunchuk will help take you gaming experience to an entirely new level. Take my word for it; Wii Sports is much more interesting when you’re playing a human.
The Wii Sports Pack
The Wii Sports Pack has a range of fun controller add ons that make the game a bit more realistic. The Golf Club Grip, miniature Tennis Racket Grip and a Baseball Bat all attach very easily and quickly to the Wii-mote.
The Wii Steering Wheel
Playing car games using the Wii-mote just doesn’t feel right. The Wii Steering Wheel is simple but effective and makes the game feel more natural, and more realistic. Wasn’t that the main reason the Wii was invented?
Better Connecting Cables
After purchasing the Wii you might notice the basic RCA cables that were provided were a bit, outdated. If you are one of the privileged, and own a Plasma, DLP or LCD screen, then a simply way to add some extra quality would be to replace the old cables with either the Wii S-Video cable or the Wii component AV cables. The Wii isn’t HD like Xbox 360 or PS3, but this is a fast way of getting a better picture at a minimum cost.
The Controller Docking Station
If you’re like me, a hard core gamer, you will also notice that the Wii-mote and Nunchuk love to eat up all the AA batteries. There are several different docking stations for the Wii-mote and Nunchuk that simply replace the standard batteries with rechargeable ones. When you aren’t using them, the Wii-motes are charging up for when you get back, and play for 12 hours straight.
A GameCube Controller
If you plan on taking advantage of the Wii’s backwards capability then a GameCube controller is a must have. You pick up a controller from Best Buy, or get one for almost free on eBay. The GameCube also has a cordless remote, the Wavebird, for a wire free gaming experience.
A SD Card
The Wii comes with a small 512mb SC card, which isn’t a problem if you only play a few different games. I, myself, bought a few 2 GB cards, as backup, because I know I’m going to go right through them. They aren’t too expensive, and if you like to continue where you left off, they are a must.
A Spare Sensor Bar
The Wii comes with an infrared sensor bar, which is what gives it its technology, but they are easily damaged. My cat pulled the cord apart and I was stuck for a week, waiting for the replacement. Go ahead and buy a spare, because something is bound to happen to everyone’s.
A Wii Points Game card
The Wii points system is one of my personal favorite features of the Wii. It allows you to buy classic games from the old Nintendo platforms, like Mario Kart, and play them on the Wii. You can buy a prepaid Wii point card or buy the points online. 100 Wii points per Dollar (US) is the standing rate.
Yes, Guitar Hero. Or Rock Band
Everybody has heard of Guitar Hero. I have it on PS2, and decided to buy it on Wii. Guitar Hero and Rock Band could be the best Wii games on the market, at this point. Either one of these games, or both if you have the money, is a necessity! Go buy the game, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
