Specifically, I'm wondering what comes with them, standard -
and, since I have 2 competitive kids -
would it be best to buy extras ahead of time?

ie -
Do I need a 2nd Namchuk? Remote? etc? etc? etc?

Thanks for your help!

Ooo, ooooo, I know this one!!! We have a Wii. It only comes with one remote and one nunchuck, and a sports game that allows you to play tennis, golf, boxing, and bowling. We got along with just this for several months. It's probably a good idea to get a second remote so they can play games simultaneously/against each other. If you get games that need a nunchuck, it might be worth buying a second one. Check the back of the case for the game(s) you're interested in and in the upper right hand corner it should have pictures of the kind of controller (remote and/or nunchuck)and how many are needed/recommended to play the game. We LOVE the sports game that comes with it and my kids are also having fun with Mario Galaxy and Mario Party 8 at the moment. I've got DDR in the closet for Christmas! Shhhhh!

Be happy to answer any other questions you might have!!

Yes, the gamecube games work on the wii -- but you have to have the gamecube controllers.

We love our wii!!!!!

I got Hannah Mario Galsky for Christmas. I heard DDR for the WII isn't that fun. I'm trying to find Guitar Hero but it has hard to find.

they are hard to find here in Washington State. I saw at the store that they are doing a lottery.
