Default Wii system accessories- what are must-have items?

I'm planning on getting a system for my young kids (10, 7, 6).

What accessories (besides the wireless controllers) do I HAVE to have? I'm questioning the nunchunks and other things, such as the recharger.... along with how many of each extra item I need to buy, for most efficient usage (playability and ROI)

Games, I'm not overly worried about. They should be simple enough to add over time.

Thanks

None really. Maybe a classic controller.

I don't know what you mean by "I'm questioning the nunchucks" but nunchucks are very important... they're not really accessories.

Just avoid gimmicky crap like this:

Thanks for the tip.

So, you need both the rectangular control and the nunchucks, one set per player?

You certainly need one nunchuck, as Zelda, Metroid, etc use it. Whether you need more than one depends on the multiplayer games that you play. None of the multiplayer games that my wife currently will play uses it, so our second nunchuck goes unused.

Nunchucks are required for any serious game (mario, metroid, zelda, etc)

As far as I know the Wii comes with one nunchuck, correct?

If you have 3 kids you'll certainly want 3 wiimotes so they can all play together. You might not always need 3 nunchucks to go along with them but I imagine some games will require it, so it couldn't hurt.

I think the rafting game is one of the only multi player games that uses the nunchuk(except maybe boxing). I would recommend some kind of charger bc the wiimotes eat batteries like no other.

classic controllers or gamecube controllers for downloadable games and stuff. Need them to play any anything newer than NES.

Used GC controllers are like 10 bucks, the classic is 20.

Turning down the speaker volume helps a lot.

Get the recharger and save a ton on batteries.
