At $250, The Nintendo Wii is the most affordable home game console on the market. But you'll want to invest in a few extra accessories to optimize your Wii experience. Here's an overview of the best bets, ranging from the obvious (extra controllers) to some you may not have heard of (free software that turns your Wii into a media center).
The Wii package includes one nunchuk, which plugs directly into the primary controller and includes a thumbstick and two more trigger buttons. But trust us: whether you're boxing in Wii Sports, fly fishing in Zelda: Twilight Princess, or beating down your friend in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, anyone with a second Wii remote will want a nunchuk to go with it.
