I don't three out of the four of these need to be owned...Regular keyboards [USB] work just fine. Already given a sensor bar, I mean if you want wireless that's fine, but if the wired one works what's the need except for maybe as backup? Charger station? I just get my rechargeable batteries, since it came in a pack of four, when my two die my other two are already ready to go, and I just start charging the two batteries that are dead.

Only thing I see that I might get personally is that classic controller, but it looks a bit uncomfortable :S.

Well, if you live with anyone else who insists on a nice and tidy home theater setup and/or if you're one of those people yourself driven nuts by the tangle of cables running every which way in your living room, the wireless bar is great. I'm not even one of those people but i still get a bit annoyed by the little wire running in front of my other components that is occasionally distracting.

For the charging thing, again that's both keeping things tidy (a place to store your Wiimotes that also charges them? super!) and saving yourself the time hunting down fresh batteries or finding out you used the rechargeables in something else in the meantime etc etc. One of those little niceties that isn't huge but makes life a little easier. That's a win in my book.

I suppose I can see it that way, but my cord runs behind the TV so not much of a problem and my room is a disaster zone to begin with. I don't know to me it just seems those things aren't necessary, except for the classic controller.

Also to further comment on that cord, I agree to an extent it gets me sometimes and whenever I'm able to see it [ which is usually on the side of the TV, my eyes are drawn to it.] other than that, not much, though if it somehow manages to swing it's way in front of my TV whilst playing a game then we have a problem :p.

That is if you NEED to own the Wii

Wii owners NEED to own a better console.

I probably hate the Wii more than you(being a former owner), but please keep those comments out of the Gamer Zone.

I was not being a fanboy..I don't consider the wii a console, more a novelty

you NEED to own a brain cause.... its is a console and 2009 seems more promising actully

i just came to a sad realization. i spent more money on accessories for my wii (which has been collecting dust) such as extra and classic controllers since i stopped playing smash bros a year ago) when i could have bought more ps3 or 360 games.

people always complain about Microsoft bilking its customers but Nintendo is doing it just as bad if not worse how many add-ons does the wii have?

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos3h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
