I've posted this as a grabbit also

I've been doing some research on the best Wii deals and this one is a cracker!
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Co...9590969&sr=8-3

It includes Wii Sports and Sports Resort
Wii motion plus controller
AND a nunchuck.

All with free delivery

You could also get it for £129.99 if you apply for the amazon credit card and get 9 months interest free credit (I did).

A few pointers:

Avoid getting a load of games bundled for a higher price - a lot of the games will be rubbish and not worth it. Only get the games you actually would chose.

The Motion Plus is an add-on to the remote control, but only works with certain games designed for the Motion Plus - eg Wii Sports Resort. Not all games can use it, and cetainly not most of the older ones.

Be careful with a Wii at £129.99 or so - it may be last years stock that DIDN'T come with Wii Sports Resort and a Motion Plus in the box, which will cost you around £35 if bought seperately.

All Wii consoles will come with one remote and one Nunchuck as standard.

I've just bought a new wii with controllers that are motion plus - does that mean I will also need to buy older remotes to play older games?

Thanks for the advice Bikertov.

You are correct in saying that motion plus is not for the old games - but you cannot play new Wii sports resort without it now (according to currys) as it has the symbol on the back of the box. It is for games like tennis, golf etc.

Also I don't think Amazon would sell a package and not include exactly what is shown. If it does then I will just send it back but that would be misrepresentation under the trades description act.

Finally not all consoles come with the nunchuck - they are certainly not listed on the box contents of all packages.

NO! The new motion plus controller comes in a plastic protector case that has the motion plus sensor in the bottom of it. You just pop the old style controller out of the case when needed. You can buy motion plus as an accessory, it's just a small box that connects to the base of the old controller.

I wondered this as it is a different shape and couldn't see how it would fit into the Mario wheel for example. If you go to currys/PCW or any electrical store they will show you what I mean.

No - that should work fine if the Motion Plus is 'built in'.

It is only for newer games designed for Motion Plus (and not all games are) that need the adaptor or built-in device.

Yes, Wii Sports Resort is one of the games that needs the Motion Plus, otherwise you cannot play it. Other games that need motion plus include Red Steel 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, how3ever others such as Grand Slam Tennis and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 the Motion Plus is optional.

See here for a full explanation, and a list of supported games http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_MotionPlus

I'm sure that all console packages (bought new) come with one remote control and one nunchuck. Newer console packages include Wii Sports Resort and a Motion Plus, although from what I can see the new Red console does not include Sports Resort but the Wii Remote in the box has Motion Plus built in.
