Hey, guys. After about two and a half years of playing Wii, I've got to wondering, what do you think are the best and the worst Wii accessories so far? While there have been some great ones, such as the Classic Controller and the Balance Board, there also has been some crap. What will you nominate for the best and worst accessory awards? You can nominate either first or third party accessories.

For the best accessory award, I'm going to nominate the Classic Controller. I know many people may not agree with me, but I personally think it's one of the best accessories for the Wii ever. It's the best thing, in my opinion, for most Virtual Console games, especially SNES and Sega Genesis titles. (Have you ever tried Super Mario World with a Gamecube Controller? It sucks, trust me.) I even preferred it over the Gamecube Controller for the N64 games, especially since I like the thumbsticks on it. I'd definitely recommend this to anybody who downloads Virtual Console games, especially SNES and Sega Genesis ones.

For the worst accessory award. I'm going to nominate the Wii Zapper. While this isn't the worst accessory ever (even being better than a number of other accessories, really), it's really a humongous disappointment. There are only a handful of titles that cater to this accessory so far and setting it up is somewhat tedious. It isn't even set up right; the handle of the gun (not to mention the trigger) is toward the front of the contraption, so it's barely at all like a real gun. In fact, I have to wonder why Nintendo didn't stick with the Prototype Zapper as it's almost definitely a better design. That was a half-assed move, Nintendo.

I had doubts about the Perfect Shot, but since it has a port in the back, I might consider buying it now.

I've heard nothing but good things about the Perfect Shot. I like the Zapper though. And I love Link's Crossbow Training.

Yeah, but Link's Crossbow Training might be the only good game where the current Zapper idea was good, in my opinion. I guess I just loved the old Zapper design too much.
