The Nintendo Wii is good. Accessories make it great.
Mom bought you an Atari when you were a kid. Now you've decided to return the favor and buy her a Wii.
Clever.
Not only does this thing boast games your Mom will love--hey, you can't
even get "Gears Of War" on this thing--it gives Mom the tools she needs
to make Grandma time a hit, every time.
Plus stashing the family console at Mom's house means you can splurge on a few accessories for the gang, without turning the kids into spoiled videogame junkies. And the Wii's group-friendly games means Mom can always join in the fun.
In Pictures: What Your Wii Needs
Other consoles have long sported eccentric accessories, of course. Steel Battalion, for the Xbox included a yard-wide game controller complete with foot pedals, a gear-shift and an eject button. PC games sport options that are even more outlandish. Aviation enthusiasts, for example, can buy everything from a simple stick and rudder for their virtual planes to elaborate plastic cockpits. It doesn't get much geekier.
The Wii's best accessories, however, are different because they build on the original Wiimote controller's motion-sensitivity to make videogames about much more than mashing buttons and wiggling joysticks. In fact, combining family-friendly games with motion sensitive controls has turned a once geeky pastime inside out.
Take the Wii Fit. The kit includes a balance board that allows adults to master basic yoga, track their weight and improve their balance. And it makes other games, like the "Wii Ski" a blast not just to play, but at parties where you can watch your friends try to shimmy their way down virtual ski slows.
