Wii for my girlfriend, what do I need?

Hello All,

I bought a Wii for my girlfriend this week for Christmas, and was wondering what extra's (hardware, controllers) I will need to buy so that it will be ready to go when she gets it so that we will be able to play together. All tips regarding the hardware will be greatly appreciated!! I will check out the Sticky for recommended games! Looks like alot of great input there.

wrapping paper,whatkind of games does she like

Buy an extra Wii remote and an extra Nunchuk. As for the extra Wii Remote, they make a game called Wii Play. Its $50, but it comes with a Wii remote. Seeing that the Wii remote alone is already $40, it makes sense to get Wii Play. As for the games, you already noticed the game recommendation thread. I would also read the reviews of various Wii games on this site before buying them. Have fun with your new console. Hope this helps.JERMINITIS

This is probably the best advice to give anyone. Though, I'd also recommend getting some rechargable batteries of some kind because the Wii Remotes burn through batteries rather quickly. And I'm sure Wii Sports is bound to keep you both busy for a long while.

A couple of other suggestions, but not 'musts' are a SD card and a Wii Points card. A 1gb SD card lets you store a little more, and the Wii Points Card lets you download some highly enjoyable games such as World of Goo, Tetris Party, Dr. Mario, and older classic games. Once again, check the thread and site for the downloadable games, a.k.a. Virtual Console games.

If you want to give your girlfriend(yourself) the True Wii Experience here's what you'll need:

• 1 Extra Wii Remote
• 1 Extra Nunchuck Attachment
• To get the Wii Online you'll need: a Wireless Router (most people one of these for their PCs) OR a Nintendo WiFi USB Adaptor
• 4 AA Recargable Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries which comes with a charger (Optional, but highly recommended)
• A Wii Points card for downloading Virtual Console and WiiWare games (Optional)

Its ok if you want to play Wii, really it is.

LOL. ANYWAY, get Mario Kart or Super Smash Brothers Brawl, those are aweosme games. Maybe Wario Ware would be really awesome for you both.

You should buy her Wii Fit because on average women like games that require you to move. DoctorStrange79

Hahahahaha good point... That is a quick way to get yourself sent to the dog house!! But I'm not worried, because I don't have any plans on buying that.


I ended up going and buying the Wiimote with Wiiplay... MarioKart and an extra Nunchuk. That along with the Wiisports should hopefully keep her busy for a little while... Then I can start buying games for myself :twisted: hahaha. I already have a 360... but my girlfriend isn't really interested in that... She asked for a Wii for Christmas.. so I'm hoping that she will like it!

I'm sure she'll find it a very wonderful gift.

What type, and how many batteries do the Wiimote and Nunchuk take??
