1) Yes2) False3) A great Game, that will keep you playing for days and internet connection really does help you expierence more and have fun. As well as maybe a descent Memory card.4) The nunchuck is for your left hand, to widen your gameplay expierence, as well as to move your character with the analog.5) Around 450. But thats with the nunchucks included, and wii sports. 6) Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mortal Kombat Armeggedon, Resident Evil 4, Pokemon Revolution.7) False, no it is not true.LOL I here you want to waste as little points as possible. Hopes this helps in your descision to get the wii.

1. it's held like a normal controller for some games but if you want to play gamecube games, yes you have to buy the other controller.2. i've never heard of a battery charger for it... so i don't really know the answer to that one.3. some games can be used by more than two people so if you have those games you may want to get them. and nunchucks4. ok first, it's a NUNchuck. and it's used as the toggle stick on the controllers, to control where you're going. It's like a regular controller for other game systems just split, you also use it to do specific moves in other games. 5. ok well the Wii is $250 then each controller is about $50 plus more for the nunchucks, and each game is about $50 so it can get pretty pricey. as for good deals... i don't think much is ever on sale for these yet. Just keep your eyes open.6. Zelda is awesome, as for other games, it depends on the kinds you like to play and if you like multi player games or single. the Wii Play and Wario Ware Smooth Moves are all I've played so far (besides Zelda of course) and they're fun. Plus there's the new Mario Party 87. I haven't had any problem with my controllers not working. so no.

1.The only way the wiimote can be used as a regular controller is if you use it in virtual console games such as Super Mario Bros. It cannot be used on Nintendo 64 games and some SNES games. You need a classic controller for that ($20.00).2.There are no battery chargers that come with the Wii, it comes with some batteries though. I have not heard of the Wii using a battery charger it may be in the future or not. You can use rechargables though.3. The only thing to feel the fullness of a game is surround sound and a big TV. No other accessories are needed. You may want to have somewhat of an open area to play WiiSports or another game that involves some activity.4. The nunchuck is used for the spin attack in Twilight Princess and to move Link around. It is also used for your left or right hand in boxing in WiiSports.5. It depends on where you shop but a Wii is $250.00, 2 controllers with a nunchuck is $60.00 (yes it is 60 the Wiimote is 40 and a nunchuck is 20.) The Wii comes with 1 controller, a Wii game is around $50.00 so 3 games is $150.00, you might need a Classic Controller if you plan on playing VC games $20.00. You can buy this at EB Games, Gamestop, Gamecrazy, Wal-Mart, or any other place it is basically all the same. The total price of all that is $480.00. Still cheaper than a PS3.= )6. I highly reccommend Zelda as it has really awesome gameplay, the story is really good, and it's in the Zelda series. I can't reccommend any others because that's all I've played.7. I've never heard of this. As long as you don't drop it or throw it at something it should work perfect. I've been playing mine for 300+ hours and nothing has happened yet.I hope that answers all of your questions.
