What size television would you need to use a wii?

We just have a portable at the moment....would that be far too small...?

What size would you reccomend?

17" is perhaps as small as i would go..

it looks pretty cramped on a 17" just because for games such as wii sports, you will want to stand up to swing your arms or punch etc!

Nintendo Wii Console - Nintendo Wii Console: Inc Remote,Nunchuck Controller & Sports Game / Item to be ordered from supplier

Mine initially said that, it has now changed to Order not yet processed.

I did try phoning them but got fed up of listening to the same dodgy tune for 10 minutes so I emailed them instead. I predict a cancellation with hmv if I manage to get one somewhere else.

After the kids went to bed the other night... out came the Wii and we played Rayman Raving Rabbids 2....

It was quite bizarre... one of the shooting games is set near the fountain in City Hall Park, New York - http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=new+york&ie=UTF8&ll=40.712032,-74.007093&spn=0.000565,0.001462&t=h&z=20&om=1&layer=c&cbll=40.711771,-74.006866

I was there about two months ago and took lots of pictures, so I recognised it immediately..... quite surreal, there were no Raving Rabbids when I was there and no need to hit anything with kitchen sink plungers! :rotfl:

Yeah Batteries, but you can get a charging station. These are a must in my opinion.
If you purchase another remote that doesn't come directly with the boxed Wii you will have to sync the remote with the console before the you can use it. It's very simple. Press the red reset/sync button where the batteries go and at the same time undo the SD card reader slot on the front of the Wii and press the red button.

they take 2 AA batteries eachbut the remotes use them up pretty fast.

there are a few chargers around but I opted for 4 AA rechargeable batteries with a 1 hr charger. it was only £17 in amazon marketplace altogether. Made by energizer

ooh..only £13 now.

some of the charger stands have bad reviews and people have reported problems with them so i decided to opt for the battery recharger which have very high capacity batteries included! should save you lots within a short time!

Also bear in mind that charging stations will not allow you to place the wiimotes with the silicone skin (comes as standard now) on. I'd say go with the energizer batteries ...good price...good quality and high capacity and guaranteed not to mess up your wiimote...not so for the charging stations
