With the ever growing popularity of the Wii more and more accessories are being made for it.  The Wii console is one of the most popular home entertainment consoles of all time, even if you don’t own one, I’m willing to bet you have definitely played on.  Here we will take a look at some of the Wii accessories available on the market starting off with the basics and progressing through.

The Wii Remote

A piece of kit that has revolutionised the gaming platform.  Wireless controllers were already on the market before this one came along but I think it is the Wii remote and the newer Motion Plus that will be remembered for being wireless.  Available in the classic white colour or the limited edition black.

Wii Steering Wheel

The steering wheel, used to play Mario Kart and other similar games is a sleek piece of technology, at first glance.  I’m not saying it’s not but they have cleverly integrated the use of the Wii remote into the back which is what does the hard work.  The actual wheel is just for show.  That means they haven’t had to design an entire new outfit, they just built on what they had, and this trend is set to follow in their other accessories.  Available in a small range of different colours.

The Golf Club

Made by “Exspect” this is another neat looking tool used to play the virtual golf games.  Plug the Wii remote into the golf club model and away you go.

The Balance Board

Designed for the Wii Fit system, this has made the history books for sure.  With this sensitive board you can keep fit and play a variety of sports all in your own living room. 
Gun

This reminds me of the good old Nintendo days when the original Duck hunt was around.  Do you remember the brightly coloured orange gun, a true classic.  This version, again just uses the wii remote as a bases and converts it into a gun.

Nunchucks

Never seen before, Nunchucks for a games console.  Not too much to say about this Nintendo accessory apart from they look wicked.

There are various other accessories available of both original Nintendo accessories and third party made accessories.  The Wii seems limitless to what it is capable of and the future is sure to bring further accessory firsts to the gaming world.
