Maplin had some for £40, you can get Japanese ones from eBay - I got a remote and nunchuck pack for £45 + P&P. The box and instructions were all in Japanese but all the text on the remote was in English.ǝןqqıʍComment

Just called them as it's not far from me ... but unfortunately they had only the nunchuk controller and not the main remote controller.Originally posted by Bumfluff View PostVirgin Liverpool Street, London had them when I was in there this morning
Looks like I might have to go for the Japanese one too. So apart from the instructions there wasn't any difference from the UK versions? Are there any other Wii items worth buying?Originally posted by DiscoStu View PostMaplin had some for £40, you can get Japanese ones from eBay - I got a remote and nunchuck pack for £45 + P&P.

They're absolutley identical, and the instructions for pairing a new remote are in your Wii manual anyway so you don't need the instructions in the box.Originally posted by TazMaN View Post

I'm seriously considering one of those remote charging stations, but except for that spend your cash on games
