I really want one just for the vc games and the new mario party 8 thats coming out april, i cant find one anywhere but thats another story.
Anyway what accesseries must i have. Ill need 2 controllers for me and my brother and ill get that charger aswell, anything else.
 
Well, you'll get one Wiimote and one Nunchuk included in the pack. You'll want a 2nd Wiimote and 2nd Nunchuk too. The Wiimote is about £25 and the Nunchuk is £15ish iirc. Alternatively, you might want to consider getting Wii Play for £30 which includes a Wiimote so you're effectively getting the games for a fiver (which is probably all I'd pay for them anyway as they're not that great to be frank).

So, it's either £40 for a Wiimote & Nunchuk, or £45 for Wii Play & a Nunchuk.

However, depending upon the VC games that you're interested in, you'll possibly need to invest in some Classic Controllers. Some of the games work with the Wiimote turned horizontally, e.g. Sonic works like this, but if the Wiimote doesn't have enough buttons to accommodate the game then you're outta luck.

You can either buy the official Wii Classic Controllers, which plug in to the Wiimote and are wireless, or you can save yourself a lot of money and buy the wired Gamecube controllers for about £7 each.

Think that covers it... :)

Might be easier to turn that round a bit... What game styles do you like?

In our house, we're having loads of fun playing Rayman still, and have just got Monkeyball now too. There's Wario Ware, although I've not played it, but it's got good reviews, and Mario Party is due pretty soon too. As you can see, the "party gaming" is pretty well covered so far.

As for sports games, well Tiger Woods has just come out if you enjoyed the golf in Wii Sports. SSX Blur also got good reviews. Madden was a launch title that got great reviews, but I don't understand the rules... apparently you can throw the ball forward?!?

Steer clear of Far Cry as it was a naff port with little effort put in it, but Call of Duty is better (although I still prefer it on PC), and Medal of Honour is supposed to be better than CoD, and might already be released, I can't remember. Also, Prince of Persia is released in April and is supposed to be fantastic - really looking forward to this one.

A couple of games I'm waiting for reviews on are Heatseeker - where you can pretend to be Tom Cruise in Top Gun :D and Mortal Kombat.

Hope that helps :)
