looking forn advice on Nintendo wii

[trionam]

Hoping someone can help me my kids looking for the wii for christmas girls aged 4 and 7 my problem is there are a few offers out there and Im not sure whats best to buy argos have the console and wii sports + sports resort for €155 until next week and smyths have package deal for €299 which is 4 games (1 of own choice) 2 controllers,2 nunchuck,2 motion plus and mega accessory pack.I dont no what the difference is between the controllers and wether the accessory pack is really needed please help!!!

OK i would say that you should check out the sorts of games youd like for your daughters and for the family as a whole. They should give details of what nunchucks and accessories would be best and go from there

ie, theres no point in getting the steering wheel if your daughters are going to want to play the dance games.

See what games are with the package before you buy as it's a lot of extra money. It's usually best to buy what you need / want then bundles with a lot of stuff you pay for and don't need. Accessory packs are usually a bit pointless in my experience.
have you tried game shops as well as they somtimes have more choices of package deals.
It would be good to have additional controllers though, but of course you can buy them seperatley if you don't go for the bundle.

Unless the games that you are getting are must haves, I would go with the argos option. I dont think you will use the accessory pack, you could get the other controllers that you need for less than £50 - not sure how many Euros it would cost, but you could search that - if you buy the new party games game, you get a controller with it anyway. That leaves you around 90 to get games and accessories. There are some real bargains to be had especially as you are starting now and some good games have been out for years and are now discounted - or you can get yourself the balance board and wii fit and still have enough for a couple of games. For games, have a look on Shopto.net, amazon, the hut etc plenty of choice out there.

thanks everyone thats helped a lot I think I will go with the argos option will look up that animal crossing game sounds good,would it be a good idea to just buy another remote anyway as there is two if them and lastly whats the difference between a remote and a nunchuck?

I know it's a little left fielf of what you're after, but have you considered getting an xbox 360 with the new Kinect peripheral, all the games i've seen for it so far are basically wii games, plus they don't even need to use a contoller(No controller through your lovely telly). Just a thought. Here's some videos which might sway you.

hi there

That Argos option does sound pretty good... though, I believe GAME UK are also doing offers right now: http://www.game.co.uk...z13fvg/?s=wii+console

Animal crossing is an excellent choice,
