Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller add-on (Wii)
Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller add-on (Wii)
Customer Review: needed for some games.Some notes about nunchuks
A nunckuk is a simple atachment to the Wii remote that gives you extra control over a game.So far 4 out of 6 of my games need it.If it has a nunchuk icon in the top-right corner of the box it needs it for all or part of the game.You get one free with the console,but you can get another for multiplayer. Here are some notes:
1.The control stick has a special feature:you can move it a little bit and it does the action a little bit,like a steering wheel!
2.The upper button is called “c” and the lower button is called “z” so if you see c and z mentioned in reviews you`ll know what they`re talking about. Don`t get them the wrong way round!
3.It fits in your hand perfectly-no need to worry about it being uncomfortable.
4.Don`t put the control stick in your mouth (if you do it goes all yellow).
5.The cord length is fine(almost the armspan of a quite tall 9-year-old).
So overall the nunchuk wins 5 stars for its special control stick feature; fitting into your hand nicely; and its cord length, and only has 1 bad point which is being just plain white and even this is hardly a “bad” point because you never look at the nunchuk when you`re playing and even this can be fixed by buying a skincase for it.
Customer Review: A Must have
This is a brilliant assesory/add on, and it is a must have to play most games.

Nintendo Wii Console (Includes Wii Sports) In a nutshell:
As if the idea of five games in one package didn’t sound a good enough deal on its own the Wii’s best multiplayer compendium comes free with the console.
The lowdown:
Clearly realising that they need to provide some quick and obvious reasons why the Wii Remote is such a good idea Nintendo have packed in this compilation with the console, which includes simple versions of tennis, golf, baseball, bowling and boxing. The four player tennis game is the obvious stand out as you swing the Remote exactly as you would a real tennis racket, with the game seeming to almost magically interpret your movements into the game. All the other games work in a similar way, as you hold the Remote like a golf club or ready it like a baseball bat - you can even use it to gently roll bowling bowls and add some subtle aftertouch. The graphics make be purposefully basic but these are the games to instantly prove why the Wii is going to be such a revolution.
Most exciting moment:
While even Wii Tennis can be played with very minor movements of the Wii Remote the boxing game actively encourages you to act things out properly. You hold up both the Remote and the nunchuck to simulate your two hands and then duck and weave as you switch between trying to pummel your opponent and dodging or blocking their own attacks.
Since you ask:
You can use your own customised Mii Channel character in any of the games for that personal touch. The idea was originally just a joke featuring caricatures of Nintendo’s top brass for a press conference, but it proved so popular that Nintendo ensured anyone could make their own character to play with.
The bottom line:

Customer Review: don’t pay over the odds try this
I had a play on my brothers Nintendo Wii and decided to get one. I was unaware of the scarcity of the Wii until I came to buy one. ?300 plus for an item previously sold for ?175 is out of order. Then I discovered Amazon de ( the German arm of Amazon) selling the same spec but with a euro plug - easy to sort - - multi language manual , plays all UK games, for a total price delivered of ?175. Can’t be bad. No problem using Amazon de, open a checkout in both Amazon UK and Amazon de and one explains the other. Remember not to proceed with English purchase. Delivery will be in 2 weeks. No catch and has pan European guarantees and Amazon name. Hope this helps
Update - it arrived 4 days after ordering, how fast is that?
the price worked out at ?175 - nothing more to pay for a PAL version
Customer Review: THE FAMILY CONSOLE
PS3 and 360 owners - please stop harping on about the graphics and performance. The Wii was never mean’t to compete with the next gen consoles and it never will, nintendo saw a niche in the market which was to entice people who previously had no experience or little interest in console gaming. You only have to look at the majority of titles for the wii - they are simple, fun and above all easy to get into even for first time gamers. I see the Wii has the party/family console, in terms of power it is not a million miles away from the old gamecube but its the controller that makes the difference which is great although on some games you still can’t beat a good old gamepad.
THE GOOD: Incredibly easy to use, best console for young kids by far. Excellent for parties etc. Good Value for money. Backward compatible with gamecube games. Full downloadable catalogue of retro games. Some very unique games not available on other consoles.
THE BAD: Graphics have’nt been evolved much since the gamecube. Control system expensive. Tiny internal memory, as yet only SD memory cards available (but there is talk of a external HD which will then make the console as expensive as a ps3 ?299). Still no DVD? Serious titles a bit thin on the ground with many titles being direct ports from other consoles ie PS2 - therfore not taking advantage of the wii.
Overall I like the wii for quick bursts of fun but I would’nt want to have it has my only console.

6 in 1 Sports Utility Pack (Wii) 
List Price: ?19.99
Amazon Price: ?16.99
Customer Review: Good fun, well worth the money
Before buying I struggled to make a decision about this product because of some of the misleading reviews, I hope my comments help. One review said that when you fit the golf club attachment to your wii controller it would be the wrong way round, I was worried about this possible problem but it is absolute rubbish and I would ignore this incorrect comment. We did not have any such problem. I do not recall this being mentioned in the product description but as an option you can have the tennis racket attachment rim light up when you are playing (requires two triple a batteries), this was an added bonus and looked good. Overall I would say that these attachments can aid game play slightly but more than that they do add to the fun and realism of playing the games and I would definitely recommend to all wii owners. Note:- I would warn that Argos sell a similar sports utility pack that is much more expensive, i would advise not to purchase this as the quality is poor in comparison to this one from Amazon. Also if you do buy the version from Argos, and you are not happy, you will not get a refund as they have a laughable policy on this kind of product where they will not refund you unless the product is faulty.
Customer Review: Great value for all the family
Bought this thinking its going to be one of those packs that you use once then put on top of the wardrobe but since we got it the kids and I must admit I havent stopped - great ideas and great value…..
Winter Sports (Wii) 
Price: ?39.99
Customer Review: WINTER SPORTS 2008 WII EDITION
Winter sports is the best sports game on the wii bar none. it is a hidden gem that most people dont know about, infact i only discovered it by accident. forget the other reveiwer that says the graphics are average cause there not, they are really good espesially when you run it on a hd telly like i have done + everything is authenticly done just like your watching it on the tv. If you liked mario & sonic at the olympics then you will love this it takes it to the next level in multi player, they apparently sold out all there first batch of stock so all i can say is buy this game now before it sells out again.
Customer Review: Good, but not great
This game is quite good and the controls work quite well. The graphics are just average though, overall the game is fun and the controls are easy to get used to, not one of the best games on the Wii, but it isn’t too bad.
