The
Nintendo Wii is one of the hottest gaming
consoles for 2007. With its revolutionary new controller and access
to the Nintendo WiFi Connection, the Nintendo Wii (pronounced
"we") takes gaming to a new level. The new controller, which
uses motion sensors to react to your movements becomes your
sword to fight with, your bat to hit a line drive or your
steering wheel during a race. Nintendo Wii also has
a
Wii Classic Controller for a more traditional feel.
With a price point much less than its rivals, the Xbox 360 PS 3, the Nitendo Wii system is much easier to afford.
Each Wii comes with a game compilation
called "Wii Sports," including tennis, golf, baseball and
bowling games, that will show off the console's intuitive
new controller.
Swing your bat!
Aim at a target!
Hear the action!
Feel the action!
Wii Nunchuck Controller
The
Wii Nunchuck Controller connects to the
Wii Remote Controller to add an additional level of
control. For example, in first-person shooters, the controller
carries the burden of movement, freeing you to aim and fire
using a more natural motion with the
Wii Remote. In a football game, you can make your quarterback
elusive with the Nunchuk controller while you look for an
open receiver to throw to using the Wii Remote.
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection is an online service run by
Nintendo to facilitate free Internet play in compatible
Nintendo DS and
Wii games through the use of Wi-Fi connection. This
service will feature games such as Final Fantasy III, Markio
Kart DS, Tetris DS, Tony Hawk's American Sk8land, and more!
Wii Channels
The Wii interface contains a number
of channels for interactive and online content. Using the Wiimote
as a pointing device you can navigate through these
channels for your entertainment. Many channels are
available now, with more to be added in the future.
Wii Virtual Channels:
The Virtual Console is software coupled with a download
service that enables users to play games of past eras. Games
from older Nintendo consoles such as the
Nintendo 64,
Super Nintendo and
Nintendo Entertainment System are available for
a small fee.
