Nintendo Wii — Must Have Accessories
While a new Nintendo Wii system will give you everything you need to get started, it won’t include those extra “must have” accessories that will enhance your overall gaming experience as much as possible.
For instance, the Nintendo Wii usually only comes with one controller. While this means you can still play by yourself, it’s not possible to enjoy the gaming experience with a friend without having an extra controller. If another family member or friend wants to play along with you, he or she is going to need a remote too.
If, however, you have an old GameCube controller laying around, you may be able to use it for your Wii. You could also try the wireless Nintendo WaveBird. Unfortunately, GameCube controllers are inferior to Wii ones, and should only be used for playing GameCube games on Wii. In order to enjoy games designed exclusively for Wii, you and your friend are going to both need Wii controllers.
Other accessories you should get for your Nintendo Wii are rechargeable batteries and chargers. While you can use two regular AA batteries for each Wiimote, your gaming won’t last very long at all before they die. You can also get a lot of free Wii accessories from plenty of websites around the web
If you plan on playing GameCube games on your Wii, don’t forget about GameCube memory cards. It’s the only way you’re going to be able to save your progress with GameCube games. Your old ones should work if you have any. If not, then you’ll have to get some new ones.
You’ll also be able to play the old classic games from the original Nintendo Entertainment System, SNES, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, and so forth. However, in order to do so, you’ll need to stack up on Wii Points and then exchange them for downloads. Consider Wii Points to be another accessory you need to buy.
Other Nintendo Wii accessories you’ll need include internet access, larger SD memory cards, USB Wi Fi connector, skin covers for your nunchucks and Wiimote, component video adapter, Wi Zapper, and more.
All of these accessories will improve your gaming experience with the Nintendo Wii. With the extra accessories, you will be able to play with your friends and family, thus increasing the amount of entertainment the Wii can provide.
