As mentioned in my review of the Wii Nunchuck I have had my Wii for a few weeks but haven’t had chance to review it so am starting with the peripherals.

Unfortunately the Wii only comes with a single controller and as the main fun with the Wii comes from playing against friends and family I immediately purchased a ... Read review

Advantages: Durable and Sleek
Disadvantages: Wired to the Nunchuck controller, battery powered.

With the release of the Nintendo Wii, controller design was always going to be an integral part of the console. As a result, Nintendo have opted for the sleek approach, no bigger than an average TV remote.

This review is mainly to give pointers with many questions and queries often asked about ... Read review
