Gaming i was gonna get a wii today

[iamwhoiam]

I didn't because the controller's are too expensive. Kitting out a wii with 3xControllers+Nunchucks = 3 x £30+15 = £135 just for controllers. A bit of a joke really isn't it? Also I can't find anywhere which sells one with vouchers/discounts... can anyone recommend any UK sites?

Make your friends buy their own controllers.

You could get wiiplay. I only got an additional wiimote with wiiplay. Can't see the point of buying Nunchucks when not many 2 player games use them.

expensive? yeah
a joke? sadly, no

realistically, the controllers are fairly advanced pieces of technology.. so a higher price is expected at the moment
and just take solace in the fact there aren't many great multi player games on the wii yet, you can easily get by for a while with just one remote and nunchuck

Especially since I bet he's not going to be spending much money on games.

I really wonder how long before 3rd party Wii controllers start appearing.

thats it. I only bought one extra wiimote (with wiiplay) and the nunchuck (20€) for my girl friend. A friend of mine has a wii without any extra controllers, so he can bring his one and we can play with 3 people. If someone wants to join, he has to get a wii, or at least a controller

Yeah, one of my housemates said he'll chip in for one. But that still only leaves 2 controllers + nunchucks.. Do I really need 2 more to make 4? I'm gonna get the Wii for comedy drunken timess, rather than serious solo gameplay (zelda being the exception) but if there aren't many 4 player games....

 

[thomaspajamas]

Yeah you really dont need many controllers right now. I mean maybe one extra and an extra nunchuck, but thats it. One of the best multiplayer games out so far can be played with only one remote anyway (WarioWare)

EDIT: Plus if you wait a REALLY long time, eventually you'll probably be able to buy them in different colors

wiiplay is the worst game ever

 

[AeroScap]

WTF Billards!! FTW! that and the air hockey game! and the TANKS GAME!!!

 

[kristijan08]

yeah that hockey game is the awesome when you're intoxicated!!! ive always traditionally bought controllers for my friends, but i think after the wii they're on their own, they wanna play they gotta buy!!!

 

[cabby3]

I think the best game on Wiiplay is the Tank game..everyone thats played it so far has been hooked.

Kinda pointless now but I have 4 wiimotes and 4 nunchuks already.
I wonder if Mario Party even uses the nunchuk...

I wish the BigN would stop delaying games...

I'm going to get my Wii this weekend and i was wondering if I should get an extra controler for my brother. I plan on getting Zelda and Paper Mario for now. Does Zelda or Paper Mario have 2 player and if so, will it used the nunchuck?

Get an extra controller for sure so you can play 2 player Wii sports. 2-4 player tennis is great fun. Pick up an extra nunchuck if you wanna do 2 player boxing. The nunchuck is not used by many multiplayer games thus far but having a second on hand should prove useful down the road.

Zelda and Super Paper Mario are 1 player games and only Zelda uses the nunchuck.
