Wii Remotes
The heart of the Wii is it's special remote. At first it was simple: there's a remote in the box and you use it. But then came the MotionPlus add-on followed by special MotionPlus remotes, leaving players with a decision to make about what remote they wanted most.
Add-Ons
Sure, you don't need to turn your Wii remote into a wheel to play a racing game or a ping pong paddle to play table tennis, but it's still kind of fun.
Wireless
Cords are the enemy, but they can be defeated if you can afford a lot of batteries.

Firearms
The Wii remote looks more capable of turning on your DVD player than taking down a zombie; use gun add-ons to increase the verisimilitude of shooting games.
