Buying Nintendo Wii For Your Favorite One
Nintendo Wii Console and Accessories
Nintendo Wii Console and Accessories
Every year when the holiday season rolls around, or a child's birthday perhaps, parents rush to get the latest video game console even if they are completely clueless about the specifics. If you are one of those that don't know much about video games, there's no need to worry. This article will cover all the steps involved and any accessories you might need when buying a Nintendo Wii.
The Nintendo Wii game system can be a lot of fun for the entire family. Your game play can be even more fun if you have the right accessories. To find accessories for a Wii, it's important that you know where to look. Some places have better prices, while others have more of a selection. With a little bit of know how, you can have everything you need for your Wii.
The Wii isn't as difficult to find as it once was, but you should still do your homework and shop around to ensure that you find the best price. Your best chance of finding them locally would be at stores like Best Buy, Target, or Wal-Mart, but be sure to check online retailers like
Pandamimi to see if they have any special promotions going on that can save you some money. You should also search for any bundles that include games you were going to buy anyways.
Nunchuk - Pick up an extra Wii Remote and a Nunchuk Controller
The Wii comes with one Wii Remote controller, but in all likelihood that will not suffice. You should be sure to pick up at least one extra Wii Remote (the console supports up to four) so that you can enjoy multiplayer games. You should also be sure to pick up one Wii Nunchuk Controller, which is an addition to the Wii Remote that gives the player a joystick to utilize. There are a great deal of games that utilize the Nunchuk, so it is almost a given that you should get one.
Nyko Charge Station Buying a Wii Charge Station
The one more accessory that I would consider a necessity is a charge station for the controllers. The Wii Remotes go through batteries at a fairly decent pace, so you'll need a way of recharging them. Rechargeable batteries work, but a Wii Charge Station is a cheaper option. The Charge Station developed by Nyko can be found for about $20 on
Pandamimi and contains two rechargeable batteries along with the charge station itself. It can charge two Wii Remotes simultaneously, and boasts a 25-hour battery life with an 8-hour charge time. Any other controllers that you might need should be packaged with the particular game that they are required for, so this should cover your controller needs.
Don't buy games unless they were specifically asked for. Sometimes we can get caught up in the excitement of buying exciting, new age toys and electronics. It is essential to keep in mind that something that looks fun and entertaining to you might NOT look the same to whomever you are purchasing the game for. Save yourself the trip to return the gift by not making impulse game purchases. The Wii comes with the Wii Sports game included, which should be enough to tide the entire family over until you have determined exactly what games are desired.
Don't be fooled by useless accessories
Because the Wii is so popular, companies have taken to making as many accessories to go with the console as possible. Common ones include the Nintendo Wii "Classic" Controller, plastic colored covers of any kind, or anything else that has NOT been mentioned in this article. The only accessories other than those previously mentioned that you should ever buy would be things such as the Balance Board if you are going to purchase the Wii Fit game or instruments if you're buying a Rock Band or Guitar Hero game. Otherwise, just say no to excess accessories!
Nintendo Wii Games
Continuing in Nintendo's history of video games, the Nintendo Wii is both innovative and fun. It is also considered the most family friendly in its generation of video game consoles, as well as the most affordable. The Wii is a great gaming choice for the whole family, from kids to adults. Here are some tips to buying games for your family.
Check the rating. This is the place to start when buying any video game, including Wii games. The ESRB ratings are as follows: EC for early childhood, E for everyone, E10+ for everyone older than 10, T for teens 13 and up, M for mature audiences of 17 or older and AO for adults only. Depending on the age of your children, E, E10+ and maybe T are where you want to look for Wii games.
Look at the description on the rating. On the front cover of the Wii game, you will find the simple rating, and on the back of the box, you will find a box that explains why it's rated that way. This way you have a better idea why the rating is what it is. You will find descriptions like cartoon violence, crude language, mild lyrics, suggestive themes and alcohol or drug related content.
Search the Nintendo Wii website for games. There is a search feature on the Wii website that will let you look up games based on category and rating. Also, you can invite
Pandamimi.com.
Find recognizable characters. Nintendo has been around long enough that you probably played with some of the same characters that your children are playing with now. Characters like Mario, Link, Donkey Kong and even Sonic the Hedgehog are on the Wii. Games like Mario Party, The Legend of Zelda, Mario Galaxy and Mario Kart are all good options with recognizable characters for kids.
Get a Wii game that may be educational as well as fun. The Wii offers several games, such as Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree, which can be fun as well as educational. This way your kid can have fun and you can know they may be getting something substantial out of it.
