Get them a charger for each handset. Otherwise they will need a lot of batteries. Because of the way the recharger works (it has a pack that goes in to the battery slot instead of batteries) you will need one for each controller. If they have controllers that would only be used sometimes by friends then it might not be worth getting the recharger for them though. Mario Galaxies comes out in November and is on my OHs Christmas list - though admittedly he is 28, not 8
The nunchucks have different uses in different games. In Zelda you use both the handset and the nunchuck as controllers, one in each hand.

I have got DH a wii for christmas and is becoming very expensive all the things we need to buy for it he wanted the horse racing game and he needed the nunchunk(sp) for it.

Do the control chargewrs fit them all - I have bought an extra controller for him was wondering if I just bought one charger thing it would do for both?

Get Wii play that comes with a controller and is £35 quid.

Some of the driving games look ace too.

The charger only does one handset unfortunately. Instead of batteries you have a rechargeable pack that fits in the handset so one wouldn't be any good if you wanted to use 2 controllers.
OH says normal batteries last around 15 hours of play (though he seemed unsure). He says it would be cheaper to buy a normal set of rechargable batteries, not special wii ones, just regular AA rechargeables with charger. Apparently we have 2 wii chargers because they are cool

The nunchucks use the main controller power so you don't need seperate batteries or chargers for them.

but think of the boys faces when they open them on xmas day rach, aaaaaaarw so cute!!!

Rach what a lot of people are goin is buying 2 lots of "wii play" @ £35 each, then sticking one of the games on ebay and just taking the controller.

Bear in mind they are really hard to get hold of at the moment, the game alone is going on ebay for between 15-25 quid!

thanks urchin xxxxxx

We got the wii play game just for the extra controller, it's a bargain and the games are amusing. Then we just got another nunchuck off of hmv. You need to nunchuck only on certain games like the boxing on wii sports and I use it on Trauma center.
