What should my Wii setup be? casual gamer
Please straighten me out on what Wii equipment I would be looking at purchasing.
I have searched this forum and done a Google search. The Wii FAQs tend to be on various features of the Wii, and a lot of the posts here tend to be about which games to get. I am considering getting a Wii to play socially. I understand the Wii Play game comes with some extra controller piece, and that's a good thing, but really I am rather ignorant about the Wii. So what am I looking to buy in order to have as many people as possible stand around and play tennis, etc.? What components will I need? What is the best way for me to assemble that list (things like buying Wii Play and other tips helpful)? |

I disagree strongly on Super Monkey Ball.
Also, 4 nunchuks (1 comes with the system) would be a plus. I have 2 and so far it's only been a problem a couple times when it would have been fun to play four player on Raving Rabbids but most games don't require the chuk. |

Thanks for the replies so far.

[/ QUOTE ] This is exactly the kind of stuff I need to know. Is there any way to get the nunchuk other than buying them? Is there a package that includes nunchuk, maybe with console? Also, will I need HDMI cables, or does the Wii come with them? |

There are Wii component cables that you can buy that makes the picture a bit better. |

Yes, you should be buying a set of Component cables.
Also remember that Wii Play comes with a Wiimote, as does the system itself, so you only need to purchase 2 additional remotes. |

I thought Rock Band was PS3/360 only?

Re: What should my Wii setup be? casual gamer
I pretty often operate under the "if I'm eventually going to buy it, might as well buy it now" mentality. So from the suggestions in this thread, I'd prolly buy:
Wii (w/1 controller & 1 chuk) - $250 Wii Sports - Free Cheapo RCA cable - Free Battery charger and batteries - Already got 'em Wii play (w/1 controller) - $50 Wii controller * 2 - $80 Wii chuk * 3 - $60 Classic controller * 4 - $80 Memory card - $10 Total - $530 And this is before tax, any Wii points for NES games, and any real Wii games. Yikes! Somebody tell me that it's worth it, quick! If any of these prices are wildly off, lemme know. Also, where's the best place to buy a Wii? Are any places offering package deals? |
