Official Wii Component Video Cable

By Tony M. Phan (Iowa, USA) - reviews

Not too much to say about these cables, they work as they should and really do let the Wii output a clean crisp image compared to the horrible composite cables in the box. If you have an HDTV, you'll get better color saturation and cleaner edges with less mosquito noise.

The cable is about 8 feet in length, so you can put plenty of distance between your TV and Wii if desired. Mine is right next to the TV, so I used cable ties to gather up the excess cord. Strangely, this degraded the image quality, almost as if there was interference or the signal was being choked off. After letting the cable free and re-bundling it loosely the issue went away, so I'm leaving it as-is. The plugs are also quite snug on TV input jacks, I have a Sony Bravia LCD TV and when I plugged in the cable I had to apply a large amount of pressure that actually pushed the jack about 1/4" into the TV before the plugs were fully seated. The jacks popped back to their original position after I released the cable, but no other cables I have required as much insertion force.

Though the Wii's resolution tops out at 480p, everyone can enjoy better graphics with these. Not a night-and-day difference, but definitely noticeable. It's a must-buy if your TV has the necessary inputs. Being an official Nintendo product also gives me a little peace of mind after having several third-party accessories for different consoles die on me.

Wii Energizer 2x Charge Station

By Gabi (LA, CA USA) - reviews

I just got this today but I am already pleased with it. I did tons of research to pick out the best charger, and I think this is a pretty good one. Easy to assemble, lightweight but not cheap, good value for price; Energizer is a reliable brand. The lights tell you if it is fully charged, and it says it takes 4.5 hrs to fully charge the new battery. The dock is attractive and matches the Wii. Most importantly it plugs into the wall, NOT a USB. Also the wriststraps easily fit no problem during charging. To me its not a big deal that you have to take off the jackets, becasue I end up doing that to play my guitar or drums for GHWT. I would reccomend this; hopefully it will last!

Wii Dual Charge Station & Turbo Cooler

By Mark Skuba "DealsXtreme" (Tracy, CA USA) - reviews

I have been looking through all the reviews on charge stations, but none appealed to me more than this one (without no reviews nonetheless). Comes with 2 Battery packs that is pretty much the steal right there! Everything works perfectly out of the package. Easy to hook up. Switch to turn fan on/off (along with blue LED). Wiimote slips right in the charger and make sure you move the strap out of the way to get the full charge. You must charge this for 12 hours before using!!! That is very important and also says so in the manual. Red LED indicates charge and Blue LED indicates charge completion. I hope this has been enough information to influence you to buy this GREAT Wii accessory.

Official Star Wars Wii Anakin & Yoda Light-Up Replica Lightsabers - Dueling Pack

By D. Murray (Scranton, PA) - reviews

The Wii Remotes Fits snugly into the Wii Saber Attachment (but note the Wii Remote infrared Port will be blocked by this accessory. So if you have to use the cursor on the Wii you will have to pull the remote back out of the attachment to do so. Luckly for most Star Wars games this is not an issue. It only becomes one when you have to navigate the main menu again).

The attachment allows ample room to feed the Nunchuck attachment through. It is very solid and has withstood quite a few accidental furniture strikes.

The main complaint that I have is that it is terribly balanced. Most of the weight is forward of the Wii Remote which can make the attachment a little cumbersome and uncomfortable to wield for long lengths of time.

The LED lighting Mechanism allows the 2 AAA Batteries a very long and extended life time. I have used this product now for 3 weeks and it is still as bright as when I first got it.

Overall I would recommend this product to the die-hard Star Wars fan these will make a nice addition to any collection. And make Dueling with a friend or family member even that more exciting and engaging.

Nintendo 2000 Points Card (DSi or Wii)

By Informed Buyer - reviews

I'm writing this review for two reasons.

1. To balance out all of the negative reviews because of the price. Amazon has finally priced this at the $20 it should be, so there's no need for those negative reviews anymore.

2. Because of all the great games for WiiWare and the Virtual Console (currently, there isn't much to buy on the DSI). We all know about the scores of excellent classic games for all of the old systems on the Virtual Console. But WiiWare is proving to be truly impressive. Its home to extremely fun and innovative games that couldn't have existed without digital downloads. Among the greats are World of Goo, Swords and Soldiers, Mega Man 9, Toki Tori, and Bit.Trip:Beat. And many more promising games are on their way such as Icarian:Kindred Spirits and Cave Story. Also, now that they've added easy access to games stored on the SD card, you shouldn't need to worry about space constraints.

Oh, and a side note to Amazon.com: Please make download codes for more WiiWare games like you did for World of Goo. Its very convenient.
