What are the best accessories to get for the nintendo wii?
We bought a Wii for a Christmas gift for my children (ages 4-11) and we know we have to buy at least one more controller & nunchuck controller.

We have no other nintendo game consoles (no gamecube or anything).

Do we need the regular controller (looks like an original controller)? A memory card?

Which is the best "gun" controller for Call of Duty or games like that?

Best games for adults & kids to play. Any help would be grateful. We're going shopping this week to pick the stuff up.

You wont need a Gamecube controller or memory card unless you wish to play Gamecube games. You dont need a memory card to save Wii games.

For games like Call of Duty, it is best to avoid the gun 'controllers' though if you do want one I suggest just getting the 99c knock off Zappers from china on eBay, not worth the asking price for a plastic mold. If you want something that is built good and plays well (More for on the rails shooters than FPS) then you cant go past Nyko.

I suggest picking up a Classic Controller (Pro), I tend to use it over the Wiimote / Nunchuck combo if the game supports it.

As usual with anything Nintendo most of the best games are first party (made by Nintendo), Mario Kart, Mario Party, New Super Mario Bros Wii, etc. Boom Blox is a great puzzle game that I play with younger kids and they love it (I also play it with my girlfriend who likes it).

If Super Smash Brothers Brawl gets bought at all then I would recommend at least 2 gamecube controllers. It is the way the game is meant to be played. If you don't want to shell out just for one game (unless you want to pick up some gamecube games that is), Classic Controller Pros are the second best for Brawl.

If its hooked up to a HD TV, then Id recommend getting some componet cables to make the picture quality better.

Monoprice there sells third party cables for cheap, and Ive never had a problem with monoprice cables.

If you plan on downloading any games on the Wiiware and Virtual Console service it would be wise to buy at least a 2 gig SD card, internal storage on the wii is terrible.

EDIT: Infact, just go monoprice for any cable you ever need. They are that good.
