Where to Buy Wii Controllers
By MiscAuthor • Oct 7th, 2008 • Category: miscThe Nintendo Wii is the best selling video game console from Nintendo that uses motion sensing technology to control what’s on the screen. The Wii has been very difficult to find since it was released due to such an overwhelming demand. Many families and house holds have spent days in search of a console with no luck to be found. In most stores the Wii is sold out and still hard to find.
The Nintendo Wii comes with one Wii Remote Controller (also known as a Wiimote), which is the name of the controller used to control the games. Since the Wii promotes family friendly oriented play, four Wiimotes are needed. Since the console is so hard to find, the Wiimotes are nearly impossible since most people will buy an additional three wiimotes.
There’s another piece to the controller called the nunchuck. The Wii Nunchuck is an add-on to the Wiimote that connects via a cable. This piece is typically used to control movement of a character that doesn’t use the Wiimote. The nunchuck is typically held in the left hand while the wiimote is held in the right. The nunchuck has to be purchased separately from the wiimote. So all together, there are two parts to buy to the controller, the wiimote and the nunchuck. The MSRP for both of these devices combined is $60 ($40 for the wiimote, $20 for the nunchuck).
So where do you buy Wii Controllers if they’re all sold out? Many places on the internet sell wii controllers. Since there’s a high demand for them, they may be a little more expensive, but at least you can still get them and not disappoint your family members. Other options would be thrift stores, garage sales, wii controller ebay, buy wiimote ebay, buy cheap wii nunchuck etc. You can also call stores like Gamestop and see when their shipments come. Most employees will tell you when their shipments arrive and whether or not Wii controllers will be available.
