You purchased a Wii console and managed to set it up without any problems. It came with two basic remote controllers, but now you want to add some of the other remotes to your system. This article will discuss your options so that you choose the right Wii controller for your gaming needs.

To start with, every Wii console comes with two basic remote controls. This is the foundation control upon which all other controls operate. This controller has a speaker that is built in and a rumble feature that shakes the remote during some game play or to remind a player that it is his or her turn. The Nunchuk and the Classic Controller can be connected to the basic remote. They are battery operated and are available in four colors: pink, blue, white and black. Four Wii remotes can be used with the game console at a time. Recharge ports are separate purchases.

The very first attachment to the basic remote was the Wii Nunchuk. The Nunchuk lets the characters move quickly. It is held in one hand and the basic remote is held in the other during game play. The Nunchuk plugs into the remote and does not require its own power. The four foot cord is long enough for easy movement. They are available for purchase in white or black.

In June 2009, the Wii Motion Plus controller arrived in stores. The Motion Plus is an expansion device for the basic remote. It fits right onto the bottom of the basic controller. This extends the length of the remote by about an inch and a half. According to well-known Nintendo Magazine, the accuracy of the Motion Plus is completely accurate. It makes complex character moves much easier. You can purchase it in one of four colors: black, white, blue and pink. The games Academy of Champions, James Cameron’s Avatar, Grand Slam Tennis, Shaun White Snowboarding and Zelda can be played using Motion Plus.

The Wii also makes a controller for the game Dance Dance Revolution. In this case, the controller is a pad that the player dances on. It is used instead of the hand-held remote control.

The gun controller, called the Perfect Shot, is used with the gun in one hand and the Nunchuk in the other. Accuracy of the Perfect Shot is perfect, as the name implies. Most people prefer using the Perfect Shot remote instead of using the Zapper controller primarily because the Perfect Shot can be used with just one hand.

The official Wii Zapper with Link’s Crossbow Training controller is a gun shell that holds the remote and the Nunchuk at the same time. The Zapper must be held with two hands. It is designed to help gamers keep the remote and Nunchuk steady when shooting.

For driving games, most people like using the Wii Wheel. The basic remote sits in the middle of the steering wheel horizontally. It makes driving games more fun to play.

All of these Wii remotes can be purchased separately. The primary remote is the Wii basic controller. Choosing and using the type of Wii controller that each individual game recommends will provide the best gaming experience to all serious players.
