So you are one of the lucky ducks to get your hands on a Wii system. welcome to a whole
new dimension in gaming! But getting the console itself is just the beginning. You can have
Have fun dressing up your Wii with state-of-the-art accessories. But great accessories aren’t just
for your gaming systems! There’s a full line of Nintendo clothing available to advertise
your love for games. If you are looking for a great gift for a loved one who is into Nintendo
games, look no further.
At first I found it difficult trying to order the necessary items versus the ones I needed. recommended items.
Then there are the items that are just plain fun. (And after all, isn’t that what it’s about?) Here
are some of the accessories you can get for your Nintendo Wii, and for yourself or someone you love.
worry:
1. Silicone skins are recommended for Wiimote and Nunchuk controllers. They are
also made for the classic controller (the kind with the cable that looks more like controllers
you are used to seeing). They improve grip, keep controllers clean and help prevent
damage from scratches, teeth and falls. Plus, they look great and come in a wide variety of
colors, including solids, two-tone, and patterns…even some that glow in the dark! my tie dye
the skin glows in the dark, and I didn’t realize this until I got home and noticed that my bag was glowing. They are custom made for Wii controllers so only the buttons and sensors are
exposed. The skins come in a variety of hard add-ons that are a bit easier to remove, but I haven’t actually seen them in real life. In addition to skins for controllers, there are skins
that you can get for the game console itself.
2. Wear the wristband. It will prevent your wiimote from flying around the room. they come with
the Wiimote, but they also come in different colors with some of the skin games. For only $3 you
you can upgrade to a colored leather wrist strap.
3. The nunchuk controller does not come with the Wii system, but it is highly recommended for
the two-handed use to which we have all become accustomed. Plugs directly into your Wiimote. some will
even go so far as to advise against playing without the nunchuk controller and that it should
it comes with the system.
4. Rechargeable Batteries: The Wiimote is powered by AA batteries. They can eat you
batteries quickly, so I suggest you spend a few extra bucks on some rechargeable
batteries and a unit for recharging. It simply plugs directly into a regular outlet. Purchase a replacement set for
a game can be loaded while playing a new game. That would be very disappointing if
you had to put your game aside due to low batteries.
5. Nyko’s charging station is a unit that charges two Wiimotes at the same time
weather. The battery unit on the back is rubberized for better grip and has a groove for contact
with unit load. The downside to this is that you can’t charge your Wiimotes with the
skins on. I like skins as they keep controllers clean. So personally we will use
removable rechargeable AA batteries for that very reason. But, many players like the idea of
being able to plug the Wiimotes back into the charger cradle when the game is over, it doesn’t
replacing the batteries, and if enough time has passed, you will have fully charged the Wiimotes next time
you are ready to play again.
6. Nyko’s Wireless Sensor Bar improves the reception between your Wiimote and console.
Its use is recommended if you are going to play in a large room and will have your controllers
more than 10 feet from the console, as you might have if you plan on playing on a large
television screen.
7. Wireless network adapters, such as the USB Wireless dongle for the Wii system (looks like a
USB flash drive and plugs into any USB port) and the LAN adapter, are only needed if
you are not using a wireless modem or router. If your home is set up for wireless internet
access, you are good to go. The Nintendo Wii gaming system is set to connect to your Wi-Fi.
8. There are a multitude of controllers to use with certain games. There is address
wheels for racing games, a tennis racket, a golf club, a baseball bat, an “archery”-type device for
Link’s crossbow, a pistol, and the other day on YouTube I noticed a sword and shield set that
attach to your Wiimote! You can get into serious and hard games with all of these
contraption.
9. You can get jewelry and clothing to show your love for the game. My personal favorite is a
Very, very soft fine cotton navy blue t-shirt that says “Mario Bros. Plumbing Company” and has
Mario and Luigi in the front. The three forces logo from the Zelda games appears on both a
necklace and several shirts. The necklace is actually quite pretty. My girls saw it in me
site and now they love it very much. These are teenage girls, mind you, but it’s definitely unisex.
jewels. You can also find a fun belt buckle that looks like the original old NES controller.
and boxer briefs with Good and Evil from the Mario games. There are guitar hero t-shirts
now also Wallets, underwear, pajamas, hats, shirts, jewelry, so many options!
I’m sure this list will continue to grow with the evolution of the Nintendo Wii gaming system.
From controller skins to t-shirts to jewelry, the avid Nintendo enthusiast can find cool stuff for
