I think i'll get me a wiimote with one of those motion plus thingies, and a wii classic controller doohicky 2morrow when i nip into town, should only cost about £30 ish, is there anything else (wii wise) i might need for when i get my wii U? thinking more for playing gamecube and wii titles that i assume will be available from the wii u eshop wotsit? i'll probably get the pro controller as and when, but if anyone can think of anything else might come in handy?

I can't think of anything more.

Depends on how many people will be playing. Im the only one that games on my systems dont have anyone else so the gamepad will be plenty for me but ialso preordered the pro controller just to have a traditional controller too but might cancel that cause not many games will be usuing it from the start. Most games should be played on the game pad like black ops 2 you have all your loadouts and perks on the tablet to choose at your fingertips. I might have to get a wiimote plus though for just in case some one else wanted to play mario u and nintendoland with me.

I wasn't sure what titles might need what, so gettin 1 wiimote and 1 classic controller should suffice? im more of a single player only kinda guy if im honest, just wanted to make sure i'd be able to play whatevers available from the get go. (i assume downloadable older titles won't be there from day one?)

I already have 2 motion plus extensions plus the golden Skyward Sword WiiRemote Plus so all I'm getting is the Wii U Pro Controller.

I wouldn't be so sure or downloadable Wii and GameCube games. Infact it's unlikely GameCube games will be supported at all. Nintendo hasn't stated they would and I doubt they will.

What?
I'm pretty sure they said GameCube games on the virtual console would be likely or something like that.

A nunchuck might be useful.

If you're getting the basic version, it doesn't come with a sensor bar.
Premium does though.

It definitely comes with a sensor bar.

Get a nun chuck and get the classic controller pro (not just normal classic controller this should support most virtual console games)

Ohhhh, that blows.

You should try and get a wii remote, bundled with a game. You can usually get it for 50% cheaper

Not that I'm aware of. I will be surprised if they support GameCube games digitally.

just got back from town, got a wiimote (black) motion plus thingy (in black) a nunchuk thingy (black) and a monster hunter 3 Tri classic controller pro pack (game and controller) all for £30! I won't play the game, but thought that was pretty good price for the 4 controllery things? also the game still had its club nintendo points thing unused...which was nice.
