Skiip the zapper, get the Nyko Perfect Shot. MUCH better

 

Except the Zapper comes with the totally awesome Crossbow Training, IMO the best Arcade Shooter on Wii and some of the most value for hours-to-$ ratio.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Good point Steven. Maybe the game can be acquired alone on Ebay?



Nice replies everyone. Thanks! Now I know what to buy. :)

GC controls works best with brawl imo cause of the c - stick

wii play is also good for multiplayer

I would get the classic controller for games like super Mario world where the controls are awkward when played with the gamecube controller

 

but the c-stick is completly redundant and useless, because you can't charge up your smash using the c-stick. However, I do like using the classic controller I have becuase I can hit special, attack, and jump a lot faster, but the Wii Remote + Nunchuck work fine.

The c-stick is very nice because you can use it for aerial attacks to ensure against accidentally moving in the direction of the attack.  The dashing up smash is also much more difficult to pull off with any other control scheme whereas it's simply running and c-sticking up on the GC controller.

I'm sure you do fine with Wiimote or Classic with your friends, but against more skilled players (who will be using GC controllers) you will be at a disadvantage.

You can get pretty far with 4 Wiimotes just 2 nunchucks.

I've downloaded a bunch of Virtual Console games, and I still haven't purchased a classic controller. The control scheme is a little wonky, but I've made do with a Gamecube controller for my SNES VC games.

My advice would be to get 1 extra nunchuck and 2 extra Wiimotes for your siblings (3 extra Wiimotes if you're expecting more company), and purchasing other peripherals on an as-needed basis.

I second this.

If there are just three of you, then I would say you want 2 extra remotes (one may as well come from Wii Play.... shooting and tanks are worth the money between them)

And 1 extra nunchuck plus either GC controller or a classic would be my reccomendation.... then depending on what you and your siblings prefer in Smash Bros (be it wiimote+nunchuck, or GC/Classic) you will want extras of the prefered method, so if you all like remote+nunchuck then just a third nunchuck.... or if you like traditional then extra classic/GC.


I have got along fine with 2 extra remotes (3 in total) and 1 extra nunchuck.... although I already had a standard GC and a wavebird.

Definitely go with Wavebirds for Brawl. Classic is a no-go, for that.
As for the rest, if you're gonna want to play Resort, might as well make sure you have a Remote + Motionplus+ Nunchuk for every player. If you're just gonna get Wii Sports, forget about the Motionplus, you can always get that later then, as it's not needed for the original Wii Sports.

I agree with most posters in all except the Wavebird. It is a great controller but lacks the vibration feedback feature. I brought one of the new white gamecube controller from Play-Asia that come with a three meters long cable and I am very satisfied with it. Also, I like to play SSBB with the remote + nunchuck, but most people prefer the GC controller.

I didn't read all the way to the end of the thread. Well who necrobumps a thread from 2 years ago anyway?
