Nintendo Wii Remote – Best Accessories

July 6, 2010 · Posted in Nintendo Wii Remote · Comment 

The reason the Nintendo Wii is so popular is the infamous Nintendo Wii Remote, also known as the WiiMote.  With this simple motion sensitive device, Nintendo turned its former game system engine, the Gamecube, into one of the top selling game consoles ever.

There isn't much to say for the Wii's internal workings, since it really is just the Gamecube engine. That has caused some gamers to poo-poo the Wii as it' s not a high definition game system, and doesn't have the fancy graphics of other game consoles.

Yet the Wii has thrived because of the simple motion-controlled remote it created.  Right now, the controller has buttons on it similar to the controllers used by the Gamecube, but also has the motion component.  It can be used in conjunction with the nunchuck attachment, which many games also require.  despite that games need both pieces, they are sold separately. However you can also get a wii controller bundle that has both the controller and the nunchuk in one package, and will save you a few bucks.

Recently Nintendo also released the Wii MotionPlus, which has refined the control a player has over the motion of the controller.  Instead of jerky, imprecise movements, the MotionPlus helps smooth out motions the play executes.  Not all games use the MotionPlus, only certain games are made to use the new accessory, so make sure you know when you buy a game whether you need this or not.

Buying each of the three pieces - the controller, nunchuk and MotionPlus - when purchased separately will cost about $80 to $85 depending on where you buy.  However there are discounted bundles from many retailers, especially Amazon, where buying all three together in a bundle will cost under $75, a savings of about 10%.  Knowing you will likely need at least two and most likely all three of these for game play, it's a good idea to save and get them all at once.

Wii Console Deals Best Right Now

October 6, 2009 · Posted in Wii Accessories, Wii Bundle, Wii Deals, Wii Games · 2 Comments 

Right now Wii console deals are the best you will be able to find before the holidays come up fast. Nintendo has lowered the price of their base system, and that means great Wii console deals for you if you start shopping right now. Finding a Wii bundle, a Wii Fit with your console, or getting it as a gift for someone else is really a great idea.

Online, you're sure to see the best package deals. For example, there are many new games out for the Wii Fit, including EA Sports Active, and getting the whole package means you can save as much as 25% over the price for individual pieces. When you compare the best Wii bundles which include extra controllers, games along with the console, you'll find that the savings can be really worth shopping for online.

Also it's been the case in the past that retail stores have charged even higher than suggested price for some Wii accessories, compared to getting a discount when you buy Wii online. A good example is the Wii Motion Plus which retails for $19.99, sold higher in some stores, and yet was available online for 15% less.

Another great point for Wii console deals is that everyone's trying to save money today, and every little bit counts. When you save on the pieces you have extra cash for those games or to buy Wii Points which lets you buy and download games onto your Wii from the Wii Channel.

Get started shopping so you can compare prices before the holiday season!
