The Trick To Find The Best Wii Bundles
Shoppers looking for the Nintendo Wii console have no doubt come across the Wii bundles being offered by retailers everywhere. It can get truly confusing - do I need two controllers? Three? How about nunchucks? Should I get the extra game? Do I need all of those? If I don't get it now, will I regret it later? Am I really saving money with this?
The trick to finding Wii bundles that fit your needs is to start with the basic system. The base Wii console system include the console, a controller and nunchuck. Nearly all units now also come with Wii Sports. As of last year, Nintendo released its new accessory, the Wii MotionPlus, which helps players refine their movement when using the motion sensing controller. This isn't included with all systems yet, although Nintendo has released its own bundle which includes the MotionPlus, and its new game, Wii Sports Resort, which requires the MotionPlus add on.
So stay with me here: The Nintendo Wii bundle now on the market has the console, controller and nunchuck, Wii MotionPlus, as well as both Wii Sports and Wii Sport Resort games. This is a good package to get started. But you may need another controller if you want to play with a second person. Here's where the bundles get interesting.
If you shop around on Amazon or EBay, you'll find a wide variety of bundles with all manner of combinations. You can get systems with two or four controllers. You can get systems that have the Wii Fit bundles with the Wii console, along with fitness games. You can also find bundle deals that have the kitchen sink - Wii Fit, a variety of other games like Mario Kart, extra controllers, MotionPlus, and so on. In order to figure out which is the best Wii bundle for you, you need to figure out what you're planning to us it for, and how many people are likely to be using it. If you have a family of four, for example, will you be referee when more than two family members want to play? Consider extra controllers. Do you have younger kids? Make sure the games are appropriate (which by the way both Wii Sports games are fine for all ages). Are you planning to get the Wii to workout at home? The Wii Fit bundle is available everywhere, and sometimes has other non Fit games with it too.
Once you have figure out what pieces you need, you can check the prices. A controller plus nunchuck sells for around $30 as separate pieces. Many if not most Wii games retail for $49.99. If you add up the pieces and compare that to the bundle price, are you savingany money? Most likely you are. Bundle prices can be ten or twenty percent off suggested retail. But if you're not saving any money, maybe start out with fewer pieces, and add on later. You can always buy the accessories and games you want at a later time!
If you have a budget for your purchase, you can easily find a bundle that fits your needs. The trick to buying the right Wii bundle is to make sure you buy the right one for you.
