Ideal Wii Hardware setup?

[LoneCynic]

Although the Wii is an awesome console with lots of game options, be it Wii Discs, Gamecube Discs, Virtual Console, or WiiWare, that leaves a lot of controls and attachments necessary to fully utilize all of its features. What do you have to make the best use of your Wii? Here's my hardware and accessories setup, any comments or thoughts are welcomed.

Wii Console
-Component cable (for best possible display on my HDTV)

-Platinum GameCube Controller x4
-Wiimote x3 (Planning to get a fourth)
-Nunchuck x1 (Planning to get a second)
-Classic Controller x2

-Wii Wheel x2
-Nyko Perfect Shot x1 (Considering a second for Wii Play shooting game)

-2GB SD Memory Card x2
-1019 Gamecube Memory Card x1

For most games, this setup has nearly everything covered. I made mentions where I intend to get another controller or attachment. I can't think of any reason you'd need anything more than this though. What about you guys?

Great thread idea!

32" Sharp AQUOS LC-32D64U conn. w/ component cables

Storage:
Sandisk for Wii 1GB SD Card
2 Nintendo GameCube Memory Card 1019 (White)
1 Nintendo GameCube Memory Card 251 (Black)

Control:
3 Nintendo GameCube Wavebirds (Platinum)
2 Nintendo Wii Remotes w/ stock straps & jackets
2 Nintendo Nunchuks
2 Nintendo Classic Controllers

Here's a short list of things I could use to perfect my setup:

I'm a minimalist so I get just enough.

Storage:
256 GB SD Card
Official Nintendo GameCube Memory Card 251

Control:
4 Nintendo Wii Remotes w/ jackets
2 Nintendo Nunchuks
1 Nintendo Wii Wheel
1 Official Nintendo GameCube Controller (although I do covet the White Wii Gamecube controller)

I was planning to get 2 more Nunchuks to match the 4 Wii Remotes, but realized that there was never a situation that required me to get two more Nunchuks. I think it might be excessive for me. Two Nunchuks are enough to play all my games. I wouldn't even get the Wii Wheel except that it comes with Mario Kart.

I agree, even though I only have 1 Nunchuck, I didn't see any situation where I would need more than 2 total Nunchuck or Classic Controllers. What is this Wii Gamecube Controller that matches the console?? I would be highly interested in that. I could sell off the Platinum ones and make a profit, considering I picked them up for clearance at $6 apeice.

They are not $6 apiece.

My Ideal Wii Setup:

Wii hooked up with component to a big display like device with integreated Sensorbar on the side of the screen (about 1/3rd from the top, should give the most accurate results).

2GB SD Card (Sandisk)
2x Wii Remote
2x Nunchuck
2x Classic Controller
2x SNES Classic Controller
2x Wii Zapper
4x GameCube Controller (Not WaveBird, because of Rumble).
1x GC Memorycard 1019 Blocks
1x GC Memorycard 251 Blocks
1x LAN Adaptor

I'm missing the SNES Classic Controllers and the 2nd Zapper.
I play all my GameCube games on my GameCube, because I have a nice Spicy Orange imported one (incl. Game Boy Player), and my Wii is a Pal-Console (If you didn't know already).

Wii Remotes x2
Nunchucks x2
Classic controller x1
gc memorycard 59x1
gc memory card 251 x2
gc impoet memory card 1019 x1
Wii balance board x1
Sandisk 2gb SD card x1
gc wired controllers x2
gba to gc cables x2

Thats my current setup

But i have to warn you you wont ba able to use high speed SD cards or can you use SDHC cards which means you have a 2 gb limit .

Then agan that would be about 8 times more as compared to whats left of the Wiis 512 flash after being taken up by the OS & stored e-mails it would be about 8 times approx of what you can store on the Wii in terms of games & saves .
