Description: No Description Reviews: A review by Darren Jaworski Nintendo has gone and done it again. Reminding me that I was once a boy playing their original systems on my parents rugs. Not the fondest of memories, but among the countless hours spent with Nintendo controllers, I can say that this console is the closest to the original fun and excitement. The Wii will change gaming forever!
Description:Product DescriptionFor use with Nintendo Wii games console. Simply slip your Wii Remote into the Steering wheel and away you go. It has Ergonomic hand grips, a sensor slot, an additional B button and easy release Reviews: A review by N/A I like the mechanics of the wheel. I found it to be pretty accurate. It's not too sensitive but it reacts to your turns quite well. I found that if you try to over-correct on a turn or swerve, you might bring the remote over 180 degrees and make it turn you the oposite direction. You just have to learn how to handle it and not exagerat your movements. The only thing that really bothers me is using the 2 button for the acceleration. I would rather use the B button for that and the 2 button for throwing or dropping banana peels and koopa shells. The ergonomics of that make more sense to me but even all that doesn't bother me enough to NOT use it. Have fun, you should enjoy it!
Description:Amazon.comThe Wii Nunchuk controller is a secondary controller that adds even more innovation to the next generation of gaming, and does it all with less physical movement.
Used in conjunctionwith the standard Wii remote, certain games need the Nunchuk controller for additional control options. Contoured perfectly to fit a player's hand,

the Nunchuk controller builds on the simplicity of the Wii Remote controller. The Nunchuk contains the same three-axis motion sensor found in the Wii Remote, but also includes an analog stick, and two buttons to help assist in character movement.
Many games will allow you to control your character's movement with the Nunchuk in your left hand, while your right hand is free to execute the action movements with the Wii Remote. For example, the Nunchuk is particularly useful for games like Wii Boxing. You can use the Nunchuk to punch with your weaker hand, while you use the Wii remote to punch and jab with your predominant hand.
Take the fun to the next level with two-handed control of your games. View larger.
In first-person shooters, the Nunchuk controller carries the burden of movement, freeing you to aim and fire using a more natural motion with the Wii Remote. In a football game, you can make your quarterback elusive with the Nunchuk controller while you search for an open receiver to throw to using the Wii Remote. Serious gamers may even want to use two Nunchuk controllers to gain a fierce competitive edge.
Because the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers are only relatively dependent on each other, players are free to hold them in whichever hand is most comfortable. Perfectly suitable for either right or left-hand use, the Wii Nunchuk controller grants accessibility not often seen in previous game controllers.
Also, the Nunchuk controller doesn't need its own power--it plugsinto the Wii Remote controller when it's in use. So there's no need to worry about charging or replacing expensive batteries.
Adding a Nunchuk to your Wii system will definitely help you open the doors to the next level of gaming, and seriously step up performance. Just be careful not to knock out your significant other, or bruise the dog, severely, while using one, or two Nunchuk controllers.
Reviews: A review by sph The nunchuk controller is a unique way to play games. It's disconcerting at first to have your hands apart, rather than hanging onto a controller and operating two thumbsticks. But then it rocks, especially in games like Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. The accelerometers inside the nunchuk make it more than just a one-handed thumbstick. You can toss it forward and yank it back to pull objects in the game. Super-freaking cool.
My only complaint about the nunchuk is that it feels unfinished, sort of plain. It's justa smooth hunk of molded plastic. There's not even a Wii logo. It seems almost like a prototype. It sounds stupid, perhaps, but it needs a bit more flair. Maybe a "grippy" surface or something.
But... it does what it's supposed to do and does it well.
To make gaming as accessible to people of all ages and all abilities, Nintendo wanted to create a controller that was as inviting as it was sophisticated- the result is the Wii Remote. Nintendo fused the global familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology to come up with an input device that differentiates the Wii from any other console that has come before it.
Revolutionary control Sporting the dimensions of a small traditional remote control, the wireless Wii Remote is a multifunctional device that is limited only by the game designer's imagination. The magic of the Wii Remote's design lies within; acellerometers inside the controller body measure movement in all directions and at all speeds. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket as you swing your arm for a long forehand or a quick and hard backhand. In a 4x4 driving game it serves as a steering wheel, allowing you to swerve to avoid obstacles or pickup power-ups. In first-person shooters, the Wii Remote acts as a firearm that you can point directly at an on-screen enemy. The list of potential uses is enormous, and the light weight of the Wii Remote allows gamers to play for hours without feeling fatigued.

As comfortable as it is functional
The Wii Remote is equally comfortable in right and left hands and houses just the right number of buttons for gaming- not so many that new players will get confused, but enough so that Wii games don't feel constrained. On the face of the remote are the D (or "plus") pad, a large "A" button which is used for major on-screen actions, and two small options buttons. Between the game buttons are a plus and minus buttons (which often act as "forwards" and "back"), as well as a "Home" button to engage the Wii home screen to change settings or check remote battery levels. On the back side of the controller is a trigger-like "B" button, perfect for timing releases of a bowling roll in Wii Sports.
Thankfully, battery life is excellent with the two included AA batteries, just as with the previous generation of Nintendo wireless controllers.
Immersive intelligence
Along the bottom of the Wii Remote, four blue LED lights indicate which player position the remote is currently set to. The controller automatically connects to the Wii console via Bluetooth wireless technology. Below the LEDs, an expansion port lets you connect a number of devices including the Nunchuck and Classic controllers for Virtual Console gaming (Virtual Console games and controller accessories sold separately). Other features of the Wii Remote include adjustable rumble force-feedback and a reinforced wrist strap to ensure safe use. A speaker inside the remote gives the player feedback about the strength of swings or the accuracy of their moves- such as realistic tennis noises as the "racket" connects with the ball in Wii Sports. Overall, the physical design of the remote is extremely sturdy and of very high quality, ensuring countless hours of Wii gaming fun!
Reviews: A review by T. Corry I hadn't played a video console since the original Nintendo but our friends got a Wii a while back. We played the game and I was hooked, mainly due to the innovative remote. You must have at least 2 for multi-player games and you'll want 4 so you don't have to share. Overall, a great remote for a great console. 5 stars for sure.
Description:Product DescriptionTraditional one handed pistol-like grip / Aiming sight increases accuracy / Wiimote easily slides into grip and locks into place Reviews: A review by Christopher Kierkus After 3 months of waiting Amazon finally delivered my Perfect Shot (which I wouldn't be too steamed about except they showed it "in stock" when I ordered, though it clearly was not).
So what's the verdict?
This gun is a good piece of equipment. It is intelligently designed and well made for something that retails for less than $20. It provides a completely different feel to shooting games relative to the Wii Zapper (which I also have and like). Which one you will prefer will probably depend on your individual style of shooting and the game you're playing. For instance, when playing the target game on Wii Play I prefer this gun, however,for most of the Linx Crossbow games I prefer the zapper.
The only complaint I have about this gun is that the grip is a tad large (and I'm a pretty big guy ... 6'2"). This means that after about 15 minutes of play my hand and forearm start to get a bit tired ... not much, mind you, but enough to make you lose just a bit of accuracy (which really matters in something like Linx Crossbow).
The trigger pull is also more firm than on the zapper. Whether this is good or bad will depend on you. For me it lessens accuracy a bit but makes it lesslikely I'll squeeze off an unintentional shot.
Description:Product DescriptionWith the Wii Zapper, your game shooting experience is guarenteed to take on a whole other dimension. Your Wii remote and nunchuck fit snugly into the Zapper, still working as well as before, only now in a shape that, when simulating the use of a weapon such as a gun or bow, allows for a steadier hand that is much less likely to get tired. Included with the Zapper is Link's Crossbow Training for the Wii, a clever and engaging shooting game set in the world of Twilight Princess that includes 27 different levels, several different game modes and multiplayer capability up to four people. Link's Crossbow Training is ESRB Rated T for Teen. Reviews: A review by WDB We didn't find the game experience improved all that much and we couldn't get the multi-player mode to work on the Link Target Game.

Description:Product DescriptionThe 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: Reviews: A review by JJR I actually bought this for use with one game, and I use it a lot. I have loved Mario Cart since it's inception for Super Nintendo. When I got a Wii for a gift, I have played a variety of games adn I'm not a gamer. The interaction is great, but with Mario Carts it''s just plan fun. I now have the Nintendo 64 version which I use this controller and of course Wii Mario Cart. I'll let you know when it become disfunctional, which might be soon considering how much use it gets!
