Wii essentials?

Picked up a Wii today with Wii Play and Zelda, but unsure as to exactly what i need to get the best from it?
Was looking at getting another nunchuck, official component cable, SD card, and some Wii points, but not sure what else I'd need after that, games included, no idea what's good and what's not? Thanks in advance.

Get a Kingston 2GB SD card for £11

Thanks, just about to order a 2gb Kingston card for £8 so even better!
Anyone got any experiences of 3rd party component cables? Will there really be a huge difference at only 480P? And how can I connect it up to my home theatre amp? Thanks again.

Nice, they were £11 when I bought mine a few months back. I had a blaze cable, it was horrible. A video cable is the very last thing you should consider cutting corners on tbh mate. It does make a fairly large difference in my experience, even at 480p colour vibrancy and sharpness matter a lot.

What inputs does you amp have? The component cable offers dolby pro logic II via the red and white stereo phono cables.

It's a Yamaha RX-V357, should have plenty of analogue inputs spare, good to know the component cable outputs audio too.

Thanks again for the replies, have got loads of rechargeable batteries, but will get some more anyway!
Little bro's got a wavebird, gonna hunt that out and see what it's like,

Picked up a load of 2100mah batteries at £2.49 a pack of 4 from Aldi, should be good enough for me, especially at that price!
Just waiting for my component cable to arrive along with a VGA cable for my 360 so I can connect everything up properly, then I'll look into some more games. Thanks.
