Hey all, I plan to get a Wii sometime this summer and would really appreciate some help and recommendations to get my Wii life started =)

I rarely played the Wii so I apologize if my questions are noobish.  Aside from getting the Wii of course, Ill most likely get 4 wiimotes to party it up, are nunchucks really required for most games or can you still have fun with games like Mario Kart, Mario Party, Smash bros. without it?

Are Wiimotion+ really needed or just for mainly sports games?

I dont plan on getting any Virtual Console games so, so how big of an SD card to I rearlly need?

Do component cables really make a big difference? Ill be playing on a tube tv and/or a 1080p Sony LCD Bravia

Any cool or useful accessories? I plan on getting this Nyko station charger ...   http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=72985  ...anybody has this and knows if its good or not? Any better product than this?

I've already purchased 2 Nyko Perfect Shots for games like RE:UC and upcoming RE:DC cause they look cool and i love RE lol  ... http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=68825

Problem i find about Wii mostly is their amount of controller accessories (i dont want to have like a box full just for them), do i really need a racing wheel to play MK or holding the Wiimote is comfortable enough? (i know it comes with the game but what if i were to play 4 players?)  Any suggestions of accessories that you think might find useful?

And of course, what games do you recommend? (I already got the 3 RE games cause they were cheap and i planned on getting a Wii anyways and again i love RE lol) Im open to any game except for like real sports games.  Punch-out doesnt count as a real sports game lol.  I prefer games that are at least 2 or more players since my main reason for getting a Wii is to play with others locally.

If there's anything else I didnt cover for the Wii please let me know.  Thanks very much in advance for your input and suggestions =)

 

 

This are a lot of Questions ...

Nunchucks are not required for every game. I don't know about Mario Party, but Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart Wii can be played with Wiimote only.

Wiimotion+ is right now only supported by a few games. You only need them if you want to play Wii Sports Resort.

You don't need a SD-Card if you don't want to use VC-Games. The internal Memory of the Wii should be big enough for savegames.

Can't comment on component cables, however I use a RGB-cable on my SD-TV and it looks better than the standard cable.

I use normal Akkus ... can't say anything about the station charger ...

I bought the House of The Dead Overkill - Hand Cannon.

 

The Wii Wheel is not neccesary to play Mario Kart. I prefer to play it with Wiimote+Nunchuck.

My recommendation: Disaster: Day of Crisis
