The Wii Classic Controller recreates the classic Nintendo format you've been using for years now. For gamers who don't feel comfortable with the new Nunchaku or Wiimote controls, this is a familiar and comfortable alternative. Features include:
Eric Goetschalckx Perfect for Virtual Console and other games This controller is an excellent wii accessory. It is styled similar to the SNES controller, but with two new analog sticks in the middle. I use it for Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros Brawl, and the Virtual Console games from the Wii Store. I couldn't be happier with it.
The Sports Pack equips you with an entire set of sports gear for use with your Wii Sports game. Soft mounting brackets protects your WiiMote during gameplay. Enhances visual sport game simulation.
The Classic Controller Grip provides the best possible experience while playing with the Classic Controller on the Wii. The ergonomically designed grips give the Classic Controller a less strenuous feel, providing long lasting comfort during intense retro-gaming sessions. The Wii Remote Mount clips onto the back of the Classic Controller allowing for basic menu navigation while keeping the remote and cord conveniently out of the way during gameplay.
Videogamer25 Shame on Nintendo for not building the Classic Controller like this to begin with It's cheap and makes the controller less awkward and more comfortable to use. Personally, I didn't quite like how it felt with the wiimote stored in the center (not quite as much room to grip the classic controller), but I really don't mind having the wiimote on my lap. Overall, well worth the $5.

K. A. Leong Shockwave by Phantiq - a real alternative to Wavebird I am a Wii owner and I have two Wiimotes and two Classis Controllers. Since most Wii games are only for 1 or 2 players I never saw the need to get more than two Wiimotes. However, since the Wii is able to play Gamecube games, I had been looking at getting Gamecube controllers for some time. Super Smash Bros Brawl made me take the plunge, since getting Gamecube controllers would allow 4 person play and also allow me to play Gamecube games.
My first Gamecube controller was a used Wavebird wireless controller by Nintendo, and my second was the Shockwave wireless controller by Phantiq. I got both from a popular online auction site. Before I bought the Shockwave I was surprised how little information (i.e. reviews) there was on it. I first considered the Thrustmaster T-wireless by Hercules but was turned off by the small size and lack of analog shoulder buttons. Besides, since I already had Classic Controllers, I wanted a more authentic Gamecube button layout. The Shockwave fits the bill.
In many ways the Shockwave is a very good Wavebird copy. Overall quality is not quite up to Wavebird standards; however, it is priced very aggresively. It uses good quality plastic but unfortunately, the silver finish is painted on, so this will eventually show scratches. Phantiq should have molded the color in rather than paint it on. Initially my Z button was stiff and would not always spring back after being pressed, so I carefully removed the 7 phillips head screws to see if the button needed lubrication. While inside I noted the analog shoulder buttons mechanisms and the rumble motor, all powered by the three internal AAA batteries. It turned out the Z button was stiff because the clamshell halves were screwed together too tightly. Reassembly using less torque on the screws cured the sticky Z button problem.
The Phantiq button layout is identical to the Wavebird. Subjective button feel is pretty good. My kids and I notice no difference between the two controllers except for the rumble feature which is absent from the Wavebird. Both controllers have almost identical handle spacing, button size, and button spacing. The Phantiq D-pad is a disk instead of the Wavebird's cross but feels and acts very similar. My older son did notice that the Phantiq's joystick detents use the flats of the octagon cutout, whereas the Wavebird uses the points. The Phantiq joysticks are thus a bit "sloppy" and lack the precise detents of the Wavebird. This may make a difference to some. My older son prefers the Wavebird over the Phantiq for this reason. The Phantiq is less bulky than the Wavebird, because of the smaller batteries and because it lacks the "Wavebird bulge" below the D-pad and right joystick. Battery life so far is pretty good, in part because the Shockwave goes into "sleep" mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. The Wavebird has a physical on/off switch.
On the Wavebird, you select a wireless channel on both the controller and receiver. The Phantiq uses Auto-scan to eliminate this but you stil have to synch the controller and receiver. While this is easy to do, you have to do it with every power cycle (even with the Wii in Standby mode), which is somewhat of an annoyance. Withthe Wavebird you just turn it on and you're ready to go.
The Phantiq wireless receiver is bigger than the Wavebird's and offset to the side. Thus I'm required to plug the Wavebird receiver into port #1 and the Phantiq receiver into port #2 (it's impossible to do the reverse). I'm assuming you can plug multiple Phantiq receivers into the Wii but have not tried it.
I found that leaving the Wii in standby mode also powers the Gamecube controller ports. Thus both the Wavebird and Phantiq receivers get warm while the Wii is in standby. I don't like that and so now I have the Wii off (not in standby) when not in use, which is an annoyance especially if you use the Wii's news or weather channels.
In summary: the Wavebird has better build quality and a solid reputation, but the Phantiq is new, has rumble and a cheaper price. Despite the minor annoyances I mention above, I feel the Shockwave is a real alternative to the venerable Wavebird, especially for the price.
This power tower turns two wii remotes into a dual charging station. Docking station charges two wii remotes simultaneously. Charges, stores and protects two remotes. Includes two rechargeable battery packs and receives direct power source from any usb power supply. Twin LED light recharge power indicator.
King Mupupuru Good, but has room for improvement. Looks simple and small; this is good.
I didn't like how the LED's are
-only one color, not red/green/orange
-waaaay too bright: I had to paint white-out over them to prevent blindness
-blink when charged and hold solid when charging: this seems backwards to me
I did like how it doesn't require an AC adapter. It just uses a usb port available on the Wii or elsewhere. I was also able to remove the dumb "Phantiq" logo on the front with a swiss knife for a minimalist look.
One other thing; the rechargable packs look like just two rechargable AA's instead of lithium ion's or something. They might be actually, but battery life is fine and a more custom pack would probably raise the price out of a reasonable range.

Jo Best Joystick for the Wii I bought this joystick mostly for Virtual Console Games, but also to play Smash Bros Brawl. It has great response time in Street Fighter but also smooth controls while playing Mario Kart. The main selling point for me was that it is the only joystick that works with analog games, digital games, and Brawl. The Turbo Function is also great, you can individually set each button to turbo, which is perfect for Street Fighter. This is definately the most useful Wii accessory I have purchased.
