Wii Net Connect

Works Perfectly! Simple To Use!5
My wireless router sits within a few feet of my Wii. I saw no reason why I should be using a wireless connection, when a wired connection is typically faster and more reliable (and is one less possible source of device conflicts).

This worked perfectly. I purchased this on one of the Black Friday sales, so it was much cheaper than the normal price. I figured I had nothing to lose. But, now that I am using it, I think it's a good value at the current price too.

Simple to use:

1. Plug it into one of the USB ports in the back of the Wii.
2. Connect the device to your router using a Cat-5 line (not included).
3. Go into the Wii Internet menu and configure the internet connection for "wired".

If it's working, you'll see a blue LED on the device blink as it is accessing the internet. Hardest part was opening the package!

Does the trick5
I was looking for a product that would replace the spotty wireless connection that I had (older router clear across the house...). I also wanted the additional speed that a dedicated, hard-wired connection would provide to the gaming console. This did the trick - no problems so far, and very simple to setup in the configuration section of the Wii menu. Definitely would recommend this to anyone having problems with a wireless connection.

Not what you see.5
I ordered this product with it showing that it came with the balance board, I got my order and it did not come with it. So, I called Amazon to have them send me another order but including the balance board as shown in the advertisement. They said they would send me out another one and that it would be in there, but it wasn't. If it doesn't come with the board, the advertisement should read balance board not included. Now, I'm having to return both orders and am not very happy with Amazon for the first time out of all my orders. Christine P., Texas

Wii - Whee!4
Wow, this was actually fun and I've gotten my nieces and husband to join me. My favorite? The Hula Hoop, it rocks! I even do the running - which I never do!

Wii Classic Controller

Wish it was wireless but works well....4
I bought the classic controller specifically to play donkey kong country on the virtual console. I like the setup on the controller but think it feels a bit cheap and that it might break if I drop it more than 2 feet. However, it works perfectly for the game. The one big thing I don't like about it is that the cord to hook up to the wii remote comes out from the bottom. This gets in the way much more than if the cord came out from the top like most controllers do. Other than that, and the fact that it is not wireless, this is a decent controller. Hopefully, Nintendo will come out with a wireless version soon!! (or something that keeps the wii remote and the classic controller together so it's not as hard to pass to someone else if you only have one controller!)

Weird button layout4
The controller works like it should but it is annoying that it has to be plugged into the wii remote for it to work. It seems kind of expensive for a simple add-on that has to be plugged into another remote.

We played Super Mario Bros. with the controller only to find out that if you want to play two player you need two controllers (even though you switch off turns). One person uses the controller, the other uses the remote. Definitely not buying another one.

Also the button layout is a little weird. On the top there are four buttons in a row instead of two behind the others, like playstation. Also there is no trigger button underneath for N64 games. I understand it is a very "universal" controller but I think it could have been designed a little better.

Product Description

The Wii Classic Controller recreates the classic Nintendo format you've been using for years now. For gamers who don't feel comfortable with the new Nunchaku or Wiimote controls, this is a familiar and comfortable alternative. Features include:


Wii Grand Slam Sports Pack

Customer Reviews

grand slam5
I ordered the wii grand slam sports pack as a Christmas present for my daughter. She's waited months to get this. I can't wait to see her face on Christmas morning when she opens her new wii grand slam sports pack.

OK, but not a must have1
The only reason I got it was because it came with a bundle that I thought I would have to buy before Wii became widely available again. With the tennis racket on, there is no way to set up the game, the signal is blocked but you can still play with it after it is set up. It is just easier playing without the raquet. The golf club is pointless. It's barely adds more than a foot to the remote. The bat is ok, but removing it to pitch is a pain. The wheel works but the B button on the botton is hard to reach while holding the wheel. The Nintendo wheel is so much nicer. We played rockpaperscissors to determine the loser who had to use this wheel. Not a must have. Put your money toward another game.

Product Description

The Grand Slam Sports Pack for Nintendo Wii is the ultimate player's package for the multi-dimensional sports lover. It comes equipped with a tennis racket, baseball bat, golf club and steering wheel, clear remote cover, Wrist Strap. Located at the base/handle of each of these is a compartment that is designed for the Wii remote control to fit right into. With the remote snuggly secured, you can freely hack, drive and steer away while getting the authentic feel of actually being in the game. The lightweight material assures that equipment isn't a heavy burden on your arms so that you may enjoy a lengthier playing time without tiring as quickly. With this sports package, you won't even know that you are in front of a screen, but in the game itself.

Wii Component Cable5
Works well. Have not had any problems during the three months that I have had it. Produces slightly better quality images than the composite cables that came with the Wii.

Don't overspend on this item5
I bought this cable after going to Best Buy in my neighborhood and seeing nothing under $40 for an HD cable. They wanted $64 for the MC version. Don't waste your money. This cable performs just as well for a much better price. If you are anything of a videophile you will notice the difference immediately. Highly recommended.

same as nintendo version5
it works great for my hd tv and is same as more expensive nintendo version

This is like a necessity. The wii is great for multi player action so here's your second controller!!


Wii Nunchuk ControllerWii Nunchuk Controller

Quite a few wii games need the nunchuck. So grab this right after that second controller.


Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock BundleGuitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Bundle

This is my favorite wii game that I've ever played. How does one describe Guitar Hero? True, if you have a 360 or PS3 I would recommend getting it for one of those, but only because you can't download more songs if you have the wii version - soon to change in GH World Tour though.

A fun shooting game - don't be daunted by the T rating. My only complaint is that it was a little easy. It took me about fourty-five minutes to get to level eight.

Who can have a Nintendo system and not a Mario game?

Customer Reviews

definitely fun!5
This was the first game I bought after getting my Wii with Wii Sports. Having the Zapper definitely makes it easier to shot the targets. While the game play is not all that sophisticated it is a lot of fun and definitely showcases the features of the Wii Remote over other consoles.
PS: I also ordered the 'Wii Perfect Shot Gun' by Nyko but have not received it yet. Still looking for good shoting games.

its okay2
i got the gun because i wanted the feel of a gun for the diffrent shooter games zelda,resident evil,ect. and the gun does exactly what you would expect it to what i didnt like was the way your supposed to hold the gun it just doesnt feel right and like in resident evil your supposed to shake the gun to reload which can be difficult and it doesnt hide the cords at all wich get tangled up in you hand and whip you in the face when your trying to reload the weapon,as for the zelda game all i can say is boring and is only fun for the fist time you play it, recomend for kids

Zapper - OK, Link's Crossbow Traing - Boo!2
I have had problems with Link's Crossbow Training. Two different copies of the game have not worked on my Wii. As far as the actual Zapper goes, I haven't had much use for it yet. I recently ordered some of the Cabelas Hunting games that are compatible with the Zapper and look forward to using them. I feel like the Zapper and Link's Crossbow Training are way overpriced at $[...]. I would try to find them used for less money.

Product Description

With the Wii Zapper, your game shooting experience is guarenteed to take on a whole other dimension. Your Wii remote and nunchuck fit snugly into the Zapper, still working as well as before, only now in a shape that, when simulating the use of a weapon such as a gun or bow, allows for a steadier hand that is much less likely to get tired. Included with the Zapper is Link's Crossbow Training for the Wii, a clever and engaging shooting game set in the world of Twilight Princess that includes 27 different levels, several different game modes and multiplayer capability up to four people. Link's Crossbow Training is ESRB Rated T for Teen.

The Wii Remote Controller - wireless technology at its best5
I love my Wii remote controllers. I have three of them. The first two came with my Wii, and the third came with my Wii Play.

As far as batteries are concerned, rechargeable batteries are good. The charge station from Nyko is better.

Have a look at the photo of the product on this page. See the clear plastic case the remote is in? That's known as a remote jacket. You can order those, as well as replacement straps, on the nintendo website. Both can be had for free.

On a whole, the Wii remote controller outranks the controllers from Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo Entertainment System many times over.

Product Description

To make gaming as accessible to people of all ages and all abilities, Nintendo wanted to create a controller that was as inviting as it was sophisticated. The outcome is the Wii Remote. Nintendo fused the familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology to come up with an input device for the ages!Sporting the size of a traditional remote control, the wireless Wii Remote is a multifunctional device that is limited only by the game designer's imagination. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket you swing with your arm. In a driving game, it serves as your steering wheel. For first-person shooters, the Wii Remote acts as your weapon that you point at an enemy. The list of potential uses goes on and on.In addition to its pointing and motion-sensing abilities, the Wii Remote also includes a speaker, rumble feature and expansion port for additional input devices, such as the Nunchuk.
