Gaming is a multi-pronged world with consoles, accessories and more crowding the market. apart from gaming consoles there have developed over the years a great many gaming accessories that take gaming to new never before explored levels.

There are many sites listing the must have Wii accessories. There are many online forums as well, that discuss them in detail. You will find many sharing their incredible experience while some may point out the faults. Do read them for knowledge as they also give you an idea as to what should be expected. Most of these sites have their own set of top accessories for Wii, though a few common and the popular ones are the extra controllers, rechargeable batteries, game cube controllers, game cube memory cards, Wii points, SD card and the component video adapter.

The Nintendo Wii is compatible not only with games designed for the Wii, but for Nintendo GameCube titles as well. If you do not have a GameCube controller already ?your existing GameCube controllers are compatible ?then one of the more useful Nintendo Wii accessories is a GameCube controller. Not only will that allow you to play a wider variety of games, you can also play the classic games that are downloadable to your Wii system. However, you need more than the GameCube controller to fully replicate the features of the GameCube games. Without a GameCube memory card, your progress through many of the games will be lost each time you shut down your Wii. A GameCube memory card will allow you to save your progress and play at your leisure. Again, if you have existing GameCube memory cards they are compatible with the Wii.

The extra controller facilitates one to play head to head Wii sports games such as tennis or boxing. The extra controllers are the Wiimote and the Nunchuck. The combined cost of both of them would be around sixty dollars. The Wii supports four, but even one extra controller is just as much fun. Rechargeable batteries are a must for the avid gamers. If Nunchuck is left attached to the consoles, the battery drains out at a lightening speed. The rechargeable battery is one of the practical and cost saving Nintendo Wii accessories. Other attractive Wii games and accessories include the Nintendo wave bird. It is priced at only thirty five dollars and you can go wireless too. Game cube controller is also a well-liked accessory that works with the "virtual console". One does not need to buy the classic controller in this case. This is also nominally priced at twenty five dollars only.

Game Packages

Most Wii consoles come with the standard nunchuk, Wii remote, game console and sensor as well as the Wii Sports game. The bundles come with more games and/or accessories. The cost for the accessories is not expensive for the most part. You can find the Wii remotes for about thirty dollars and the skins for about nine dollars. Most games come with the disc and any controllers or tools needed to play the game. You can buy extra controllers or accessories for any games that are made for the Wii.

Steering Wheel for Nintendo Wii - Wanting to drive a fast car in the fast lane? This nice accessory is for you. Though the remote controller for the Wii is doing a great job in this genre of a game, hardcore gamers as well as hardcore drivers would certainly need something that resembles a real steering wheel for a more realistic gaming experience with the Nintendo Wii.

GameCube Controller

If you plan on making use of the Wii's backwards compatibility then the Gamecube controller is a must, they can be picked up on eBay for next to nothing. You can even buy the cordless Wavebird controller for wire free gaming.

SD Memory Card

The Wii is only supplied with a small 512mb SD card, it's not a huge issue if you only play a couple of games but you can soon fill the card up with multiple game saves. I personally purchased a couple of 2gb cards just in case I run out of space, it's a low cost add on and definitely worthwhile.
