I know this is probably the last site I should post this on… but, I've really got no one else to ask. My dad got my little sister a Wii for christmas, which is perfect for her, since she likes stupid cutesy games that you can play for an hour with friends, and its simple to pick up and play. However, it has only one controller, and the sports game. I feel like she needs another controller, cause its like a party game system. Whats the deal with Wii motion plus? anyone know if this thing is worth while? Theres like a million controller accessories, and without having any games or ever playing the thing I don't know what to get. Theres a nunchuck, a steering wheel, a gun, a motion plus, a balance board, a friggin' leg strap, a “classic controller”, good god, what the hell should I get her?!

Wii sports resort is much better than the original sports disc that comes with the system. Of course you would want an extra controller as well so you could play 2 player.
There are a few items to avoid like the steering wheel, gun and any controller add ons (like the golf club and stuff like that). Don't get her Wii fit! Thats only for people who are too lazy for a real workout. Dance Dance Revolution would be a much better fit for her.
So yeah, great items for the wii are: Wii sports resort, New Super Mario Bros, Nintendo Points cards, DDR Hottest Party 3 and extra Wiimotes and Nunchucks. You shouldn't have to get her a classic controller unless shes buying N64 and SNES games off the wii online shop. Also good is a Gamecube memory card and GC controller because the Wii has 100% backwards compatibility (even including the same controller and memory card ports, which I thought was really cool).

Just so you know, the steering wheel has no purpose. Its just a controller case to make it feel like you're holding the wheel. Also, the system does come with 1 nunchuck so you wouldn't need to buy one of those.
How much are you able to spend on her?
December 18, 2009 at 12:43 am #52903ideal4livingMemberi agree, the plastic thing you stick on are a total rip off, the deal with motion plus is that it is meant to track every precise movement, (my a***) ps3 wand will be better.. but thats anoter story. It is being used for most new games that come out but it is basically an extra 2 motion sensors added onto the 12 in the controller already. waste of time really…. but needed in new games.
and @barkiemailman
i like your signiture 😉 but i would put wii 4th
ps3> psp>ps2> wii> N64>…> 132nd = 360 😛December 18, 2009 at 12:46 am #52904XxTATTOOxXMemberwhat you get her should depend on what hardware the game requires. you know..

LOL, Hey Ideal, I don't mean to correct you but I gotta do it
Nowhere in that signature does it say xbox gets THIRD. Turds=poop. It's not even in the runnings of console coolness.
December 18, 2009 at 12:55 am #52907ideal4livingMemberoh i know that and i totally agree with oyu, where did you get 3rd from?

hah, yeah he had 132… which is still a bit above turd.
Anyway… @Barkie – I was trying to keep it around $60. I was dissapointed looking online to find that a controller and nunchuck adds up to exactly that… I kinda thought,,, ohhh wii, thats the cheapie console, stuff will be less expensive. I could spend more, considering shes the only member of my family thats actually cool. hehe…I didn't realize that the system came with a nunchuck either, I thought it was just a wand. good to know.
@Parnakas – yeah I was looking at that wii play bundle, seemed like it would be good to get a second controller and a game… just a matter of whether or not the game is any good.
So basically I'm getting the impression that the wand and nunchuck are the important things… and the rest of the accessories are basically useless chunks of plastic that are marketed to seem useful. I'm amazed I can't seem to find a wand and nunchuck bundle, seems odd, I would think they go together, why not sell them together? Anyway, thanks for the advice guys! I'm gonna go pick this stuff up tonight after work, and that completes my xmas shopping.
December 18, 2009 at 10:16 pm #53015barkiemailmanMemberDon't worry too much about extra nunchucks. Most casual gamers that get the wii usually just use the Wiimotes. Hell, it's been quite a while since I used my nunchucks too.
$60 though… Mariokart Wii would be what I'd go with. Even my girlfriend loves playing that (but she'll ONLY play if I'm playing too). On the other hand if you figure she will be playing with other people go with an extra wiimote and maybe a blockbuster gift card so she can rent some games.
I wouldn't worry about getting Wii Play. The games aren't bad, but they haven't held any particular interest around my house. If you get the extra wiimote then the best deal is the one for 59.99 with the motion plus included (Normally $50 for the controller and $25 for the motionplus).
And get her some nintendo points! The stuff in the online wii shop is awesome! Theres hundreds of titles from NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Turbografx16, Neogeo and Exclusive Wiiware games (and its all pretty f-ing CHEAP!! $8 for SNES super mario, $5 for nes Super mario, $10 for Legend of zelda:ocarina of time plus all the other awesome old school stuff)

It's okay I was only kidding anyway. What you posted is what's known as a double-negative.
Just me being mischievous
