Nintendo Wii Accessories
Wii Remote, Nunchuk, sensor bars and attachments — plus one advantage: they all work on a Wii U. For group play you need one controller per player.
- One per player: the Wii library is built for company.
- They work on Wii U: Nintendo kept full compatibility.
- Sensor bar: required for the Wii Remote to track position.
- Motion Plus: improved motion accuracy, built in or as an attachment.

What you will find
The Wii Remote is the core controller and is needed for almost every game. The Nunchuk plugs into it and adds a stick and two buttons — many titles require it.
The sensor bar sits above or below the television and lets the Wii Remote track its position. Without it, pointing does not work.
You will also find chargers and docks, plus attachments such as steering wheels for driving games.
