Ok, has me mentioned any specific games that he wants for it. If he has then it may be worth going to somewhere like Game and seeing what kind of offers they can do for you.

Nick, if you go for that bundle I'd suggest ordering one extra remote controller and one extra nunchuck, then if the boy wants to play games like boxing with a friend they can do so. Many many hours of fun to be had

The second controller is a good idea though Nick.

 noooo:  In my world if you get hit with a nanchuk it bloody hurts and tells you one of two things:

1. You weren't close enough to disarm him and put him out, or

2. You couldn't retreat fast enough and grab something equally offensive, a dustbin perhaps  lol:
