The Bottom Line	Unless you don't have a GameCube controller or any GameCube games, give this Wii peripheral a pass.	The Nyko Wing Wireless Classic Controller is a must-have accessory for Wii owners who play a lot of Virtual Console games as it improves on the Nintendo original in almost every way.	It's not the perfect controller for Virtual Console games, but the WaveBird remains the best wireless controller for playing older games on the Nintendo Wii.	Wii MotionPlus definitely provides some impressive moments in gaming; we just wish it was incorporated in the original Wii remote.	While it isn't revolutionary, the Wii Zapper is a great Wii accessory--and for the price, you really are getting an excellent value.
