Wii Accessories

Options
Hope its the right place to post - but i thought that as its a game console it is technology.

Anyway i am looking to buy one for younger brother but dont know a thing a bout them.

I was talking to someone about the console recently and they said that their uses up a lot of memory. does this mean that i need to buy a memory card and what size, or do the memory cards come with the consoles.

I am looking to but a bundle of the console, two games and a hand controller. Are there any other things that are needed to set it up or which are needed? I also heard someone talking about a wii graphics card - do i need that?
:confused:I say im a moneysaver, my family think im a cheapskate!

    you can buy an additional memory card but to be honest its not needed to begin with as it doesnt come, a normal SD mem card (same as you would buy for a camera does the job) and they are cheap enough on the internet, ps if u buy them from say dixons/game etc they will charge extra but wont tell u they are the same as a cameras

    get an additional controller and nuchcuk if u can as it makes 2 player games like the bowling and tennis easier

    never heard of a wii graphics card
