Of the three latest generation consoles, the Nintendo Wii is without a doubt the most unique. No console today incorporates the versatile motion sensing remote that the Wii has introduced. And with this wireless motion sensing technology comes plenty of new and innovative accessories.

First and foremost is the main controller for the Wii: the “Wiimote”. Shaped like a remote control that you would use for your television, the Wiimote is certainly an original design for a console controller. In order to use the Wiimote, you set up a sensor that it comes with either above or below your television. After that, you’re all set to use it, simply point and press the buttons to play! Certain games require turning the remote sideways to use, but overall it’s fun to use and easy to get used to.

In addition to the Wiimote there is a device called the “Nunchuk”. It is not a weapon, but rather a connectible joystick for your offhand. This accessory is ideal first person shooters, enabling you to control the movement of your character with the Nunchuk and attacks or operations with your Wiimote. Several games may require the Nunchuk making it an extremely useful and almost necessary Nintendo Wii accessory.

But perhaps you have moved on from first person shooters and would like to venture into the world of auto racing. If this is the case then there are 2 more must-have accessories. First is the Nintendo Wii Wheel. Shaped like the steering wheel from your car, the objective of this tool is simple: to steer. What makes the Wii Wheel especially useful is that in order to operate it, you simply plug your entire Wiimote into it. The 2 accessories form one unit, enabling easy steering and smooth handling.

The Wii Wheel is not the only plug-in-and-use accessory for the Wii. The wireless guitar for the Wii requires the Wiimote plugged in. As does the baseball bat, golf club, and tennis racket that are sure to enhance your sporting desires. But, best of all, you can plug your wiimote into the hilt of a Wii Glow Saber and it becomes a brightly colored sword!

As far as accessories for Wii, the list goes on. The wiimote was the building block enabling the construction of a population of accessories not before seen. From wireless controllers, to platforms enabling workout sessions or skiing, the Nintendo Wii delivers it all in the world of accessories.
