Am looking at getting one of these for kids/DH for christmas, they have played on one on holiday and loved it.

Not sure what I want, tho looking to spend up to £175ish, want basic sports and anything on top bonus. DD will be 4 and DS going on 3 (DD2 going on 1 so doesn't get a say!!).

How many controllers would you recommend? any particular games? (all have enjoyed the bowling & tennis hence the sports)
thanks

I was in Game yesterday and they are selling them for £160 with 2 games, think the guy said wii sports and wii sports resorts. hope this helps

You can get some great bundles from game and gamestation and if you're not looking to spend and extravagant amount then you could look into getting a pre-owned console. (sometimes you get a better warranty with a preowned)

You would probably need just 2 controllers to start with although you could just buy the one and asks someone else to get an extra one for a present.

For children that small Wii Play would be good fun and maybe mario kart.

Wii Sport always comes free with the console so a basic package is the console, wii sports and one controller. They come in black and white.

thanks for your help - another question (!) what type of extra controllers do I need -there seems to be 2 types and quite a difference in price,

There is the main controller, rectangle shaped and also and add on called a Nunchuck. You will need both. The nunchuck is a hand held thing with a wire attached.

You can buy official Wii branded ones which are always a higher price but there are also own brand ones in Game which are a more reasonable price and work exactly the same.
