How do I know by looking at the Wii game case which type of controllers are necessary/optional and in what quantities?

I Have a game with a picture of a nunchuck, but it isn't required. Furthermore, it doesn't say how many you CAN use. I was led to believe that to play two players I needed two nunchucks and that wasn't the case. I am trying to avoid this in future purchases and I hope the case has the information on it I need, but I am thinking maybe it is not all provided. For instance, Super Mario Galaxy has a 2 in the Wii-mote and a picture of a nunchuck with no numbers. However, for the second player the nunchuck is not necessary. How are we supposed to know that from the controller graphic in the corner?
