At just under $250, Nintendo's console is by far the best value games console on the market. Not only this, it is also the most innovative gaming machine to hit the shop shelves in years.
The has been on our shop shelves for over a year now. If you are not already familiar with it, it stands out from its competitors in that it allows motion sensitive gameplay with its wireless controller. That is, the controller can be swung like a racquet in a tennis game, used like a sword in a fighting game and so on.
Arguably the second most notable thing about the is the price. It retails at half the price of the bottom end PlayStation 3, and is $150 dollars cheaper than the XBox 360. Both the PS3 and XBox 360 do offer better graphics and larger memories, but neither provides the Wii's unique style of gameplay.
The ships with everything you need to get gaming. You get the console, a controller, the cables for hooking it up your TV, and a sports games package to get you started. However, to really get the most of your you will have to spend a little more.

you will need the Component Video Cable, which retails for about $30. An extra controller (essential for two-player games) will cost about another $30, while the Nunchuk Controllers sell for around the $20 dollar mark. The Nunchuk Controllers aren't essential but you do need them to get the most out of certain games.
Also, the controllers, being remote, run on AA batteries and drain them notoriously quickly. So, you will also need a good set of rechargeable batteries and a recharger, or a charge station - add $25.
Finally, you will probably also want some extra memory (the comes with only 512MB internal memory) for some games. So, depending on your needs, you may want to budget more in the region of $400 to get the most from your Wii. So, shop around for some packages with all the components you need for the best deal.
Despite all these extra expenses, the is still a great buy. Just be prepared to pay slightly more than the $250 price tag.
