but the nunchuck is free so it does it matter? plus if it is an original piece of the system itself and is a requirement to play you really think its an add on? i mean even if it is considered an add on there's no trouble of buying it because you don't have to.

I would have to say.......Yes

I guess it's worth it :/. You can play SSBB and I think SNES games.
It can connect with the DS so yeah I guess it is worth it.

Bahaha, I always state my opinion "no matter what people think". Apparently you read my post wrong.
I was referring to the fact that blatant responses as his usually provoke flame wars.
But w/e, your interpretation of my words is of course, your opinion.

You need most of those add ons to play a single game, so you waste money on a horrible game and the equipment you had to buy with it. Most add-ons are a piece of plastic, but they include it with the game to make it seem like you need it.

They do this so they can bump up the price on games.

You only get a nunchuck with one wii remote. When I got a wii all I got was a single wiimote. I had to get 2 wii remotes, then I got a classic controller and the wii guitar (I left the price of the game out which was $50), and another wiimote which costed me $300, this is all from Gamestop.

That is excluding WiiPoints, the console itself and the games. Only the WiiPoints, VC and Wiiware are fairly priced.

If I sold my wii I could get $700. That is about 300 more dollars than the PS3 costed when my dad got one.

It is an add-on and you have to buy one for each wii remote. ALL OF THE GOOD GAMES REQUIRED THIS, except two. If you didn't get a wii in a bundle you had to shell out $50 to play these games. The classic controller is an add on that makes it easier to play the VC games, only useable add on.

Okay, if you don't have a nunchuck, lets say you paid $50 for No More Heroes. Oh wait you don't have a nunchuck, so buy one. That brought the total price to $100.

okay and how much are x box controllers? like 50 or 60 dollars? the same as a wiimote & a nunchuck together? and wireless game cube controllers are only 20 dollars, or you could find someone who already has one and buy it for like 15. seriously you act like you gotta pay top dollar for the wii man. and why did you buy all those extra controllers ? you dont use all four at the same time unless you're doing guitar hero.. plus if you have friends come over then get them to bring theirs. that's always an easy thing to do. i only got an extra wiimote but then wii play came out and i got a good deal of the wiimote and 10 dollar game for 50 dollars. if you like playing games nintenboy it'll only cost you 250 dollars plus whatever game you are gonna buy. and if you dont have a game cube controller or classic controller then buy a game cube one then buy a game cube one so you can play those kinda games which i dont see why you would go back and buy a game cube game.. it honestly isnt a big deal man. 250 for the console and 50 for a good game... THE END

IF YOU WANNA PLAY NO MORE HEROS AND YOU DONT HAVE A NUNCHUCK GO TO YOUR FREAKIN WII BOX AND GET IT OUTTA OF THE BOX THAT YOUR WII CAME IN AND TAKE IT OUT. OH W8!, NUNCHUCKS ARE ONLY LIKE 15 DOLLLARS NOT 50 DOLLARS!

UH OH YOU HAVE HALO 3 AND YOU WANNA PLAY, LETS MULTIPLY THE CONTROLLER AMOUNT BY 3 AND SAY IT COSTS $170 TO BUY ANOTHER CONTROLLER YOU DONT NEED TO PLAY IT ONLINE WITH MILLIONS OF OTHERS. OH W8 LETS WASTE MORE MONEY AND BUY TWO EXTRA 360 CONTROLLERS AND SPEND 1 THOUSAND DOLLARS. OH W8 THEY ONLY COST LIKE 50 OR 60 A CONTROLLER AND IM EXTREMELY EXAGGERATING:eek:
LOL

A Wii Remote is $40.00.
Some friends would have other consoles.

Yeah but the 360 recharges them with the system and you only have to buy the controller and you're set.

Why did I buy extra controllers? Cause I have friends that want to play me in some 2 player NES and SNES VC games.

You are not getting the gist of what I am saying. The wii costs more in the long run.

I buy gamecube games cause THEY WERE ACTUALLY GOOD!

The price of a nunchuck has gone down, but add ons are still costly

Both the PS3 and 360 have games worth buying instead of paying extra for horrible games. Sonic the Hedgehog for those systems was bad granted, BUT you didn't need add ons for it.
