NES-Hacks: Your home for Wii and DS Hacking!

Here is info on the official Wii accessories.

WII REMOTE

The Wii Remote is the Wii console's revolutionary controller. It contains a built-in motion sensor and communicates wirelessly with the Sensor Bar for unprecedented precision and ease of use. It also has a rumble feature and a built-in speaker to immerse you even more in your favourite games.

One Wii Remote comes with every Wii console. The game Wii Play also comes bundled with a Wii Remote.

You can buy additional Wii Remotes from retailers for around £29/€39*.

The Wii Remote is powered by two AA batteries (included). Use only high quality alkaline batteries for the best game play experience and longevity of battery life.

NUNCHUCK

The Nunchuk is a Wii Remote accessory that gives an additional means of control in Nunchuk-compatible games. By connecting the Nunchuk to the Wii Remote you can benefit from its extra buttons, analogue joystick and motion-sensing controls.

With a Wii Remote in one hand and Nunchuk in the other, you have a new level of control. For instance in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the Wii Remote is your sword while the Nunchuk is your shield.

One Nunchuk comes with every Wii console.

You can buy additional Nunchuks from retailers for around £14/€19*.

CLASSIC CONTROLLER

Enjoy Virtual Console games the way they were meant to be played. The Classic Controller blends design elements from Nintendo's classic video game controllers, such as the NES, Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64, into one comfortable control pad.

The Classic Controller is connected to the Wii Remote by a short cable. The Wii Remote provides the Controller with a wireless connection to the Wii console.

The Classic Controller is primarily used for playing Virtual Console games available for download from the Wii Shop Channel. Some Wii Disc games also use the Classic Controller. Look on the back of Wii game packaging to see which games are compatible.

You can buy the Classic Controller from retailers for around £14/€19*.

WII ZAPPER

This new accessory combines the accuracy of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in a single housing for a new experience for first-person shooters and targeting games.

It will arrive on store shelves packaged with Nintendo-developed software that shows off its versatility.

Wii Points can be redeemed in the Wii Shop Channel to make online purchases such as downloadable Virtual Console games.

UPDATED TO INCLUDE

WII STRAP

Strap that attaches to the bottom of the Wiimote and then goes around your wrist.

If the Wiimote slips out of your hand the this is designed to stop it smashing your gorgeous 50 inch plasma

The old strap is know for snapping and Nintendo is offering to replace the original version of the wrist straps for the Wii Remote with a newer version free of charge.

If you have the old wrist strap the click HERE! to order up to four new ones free of charge.

WII JACKET

The Wii Remote Jacket, a durable, silicone cover for the Wii Remote, provides a variety of benefits for the player. Nintendo will include the Wii Remote Jacket with all Wii hardware systems and with all Wii Remotes sold separately or packaged with Wii Play. Hardware featuring the Wii Remote Jacket will begin shipping to retailers from October 2, 2007 and is expected to be on retail shelves from mid-October, 2007.

The Wii Remote Jacket provides a cushioning effect if the Wii Remote accidentally strikes a person or object or is accidentally dropped or thrown. Use of the Wii Remote Jacket is meant to supplement, not replace, the basic gameplay instructions: keep a firm grip, don’t let go of the controller, use the wrist strap and make sure your play area is free of people or objects.

The Wii Remote Jacket also serves as a cover for the Wii Remote, and has been designed to be added and removed easily, in case users want to slip their Wii Remote into an accessory like the upcoming Wii Zapper. Nintendo recommends players use the new Wii Remote Jacket as a cushiony shield, though the current Wii Remote is a safe product when used properly.

Current Wii owners who want to equip their Wii Remotes with the new Wii Remote Jacket free of charge can click HERE! to fill out the request form.
