Cheap Wii Accessories Flood into Big Lots Stores

Recently Big Lots stores across the country have been receiving massive shipments of inexpensive Wii accessories and peripherals. This includes controller add-ons, like the ones you see pictured above, nunchuck controllers, and Wii Balance Board Accessories. We decided to hit the streets to see what we could find. After checking stores in both California and NY we discovered a ton of different merchandise. As you can see from the picture above, we came back with quite a haul. Most items range in price from $5 to $10, with a few larger items in the $15 to $20 range. Almost all the items you see are compatible with Nintendo's Wii Motion+ Accessory.

It should be noted that we found different quantities and a varied selection of items at each Big Lots store. As always, your personal experience may vary. We were also informed that stores are still receiving new product shipments every week. Be sure to check back often.

Here's something that might be of interest to collectors. We found this item at the Big Lots Store in Troy, NY. Its the Resident Evil Shot Blaster. Not only is this gun a neat collectors item but it also functions very well. Its a surprisingly tight little gun controller that works extremely well with Capcom's two Resident Evil light gun games. The package includes a Thumb Stick Cap and a Wii Controller Skin. This is one item we don't expect to last very long. The price is $15.

Here is a list of every item we found in all the various stores on our journey. As you can see, there is an enourmous selection of unique and interesting products.

Overall we had a lot of fun with all of our new Wii accessories. The Magnum Gun is surprisingly good. Its also half the price of Nyko's popular "Perfect Shot." The Tennis Rackets were very fun. Although you need to play in a large room otherwise you're in for trouble. Still the effect is solid and it really adds to the fantasy / immersion of playing Wii sports. The Boat Paddles were also a big hit with our friends and family.
