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?

[[[[[[[Tiger Woods 10 is the only game out now that is high quality and requires Wii Motion +.   I do not plan to buy it until "The Legend of Zelda: Wii 2"]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

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

[[[[[[[[[[None]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

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

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[I do not know this answer.]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

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?

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[The accessoies I bought are extra Game Cube controllers.  Avoid 3d party and pay extra for Nintendo brand Game Cube controllers.  It is worth the price]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

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

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[House of The Dead: Overkill is another good rail shooter.]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

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?

[[[[[[[[[[[[I have the Wii Wheel that came with Mario Kart and that is it.  Avoid most acceossies because they only add cost.  If you want to play SSBB or Mario Kart Wii, I highly recommend a couple Game Cube Cotrollers for you and friends.]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

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.

[[[[[[[[[[[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Okami, House of the Dead: Overkill, The Conduit, Super Smash Brothers Brawl]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

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 =)

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[Avoid 3rd party Game Cube controllers.  I have tried them and they suck]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

btw, will there be a Wii price cut anytime? and im sure there's no Wii HD coming right?
