Hey, it’s them lovely Wii accessories, isn’t it?
Gotta love successful consoles really. Everyone tries to make something to add on to them, in the vain hope you (among others) dear readers will go on and buy it. The Wii of course is no exception and has already been flooded with a ton of first and third party add-ons. ButtonSmasher presents you with the ones you might actually need (besides the extra Wii Remote or Nunchuck, that is):
Nintendo Classic Controller
A twin analog solution mainly focused at retro gamers and a must-have accessory for N64 lovers. Also supported by quite a few proper games one of which happens to be Super Smash Bros Brawl.
Mad Catz Component Cable
You know, just like the Nintendo offering, though easier to find and slightly cheaper. Besides, a component cable is the cheapest/fastest way to upgrade the graphics quality of the Wii, provided of course your TV is up to it.
Nintendo LAN Adapter
For the poor souls craving net connectivity but lacking a WiFi router. Obvious.
San Disk Memory Card
Of the 1GB variety. Quite handy though we’d rather have a hard disk. WiiWare is just around the corner, seems more than intriguing, so how about it Nintendo?
Joyteck Power Station
Think of the environment. Think of the hassle of leaving your comfy place to go out and buy batteries. Think of the cost. Think of way to recharge your Wii Remotes. Now grab a Power Station. Good.

And the balance board is releasing with Wii Fit, although I’m not terribly interested in it.
We sometimes take our Wii with us on trips, so I picked up this G-Pak Case which I think is really a well designed one: It holds everything including 3 sets of controls in a pretty small bag.
I’m still trying to find a way good way to store three sets of wiimotes and nunchuks: Putting them in the wicker basket with the 360 and PS2 controllers isn’t working so well, thanks largely to the cables on the nunchuks and classic controller.

After all playing mini games and following on screen instructions is way easier than searching around downtown Athens for a free basketball court…
Oh, and don’t count on me for moving stuff around tips. All I can manage is a laptop and a tent.
