The revolutionary games console
Wii will move you. Wii will entertain you. Wii will show you... The Nintendo Wii is here!
Read below to find out all about this truly amazing games console!
Nintendo’s Wii console will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else.
Wii will put people more in touch with their games... and each other. But you’re probably asking: What does the name mean?
Wii sounds like we, which emphasises this console is for everyone.
A revolutionary experience, the motion sensor controller detects movement and rotation in every direction. It could be a tennis racket that you literally swing or a sword!
Design, compatibility and Media
The Wii is compact and stylish, allowing it to naturally fit into any room. It can be laid on its side or stand vertically on its base. The Wii is backwards compatible with Gamecube games, it has four slots for controllers and two spaces for memory cards. A single self-loading media bay plays single- or double-layered 12-cm optical discs for the Wii console, as well as 8-cm Nintendo GameCube discs.
The Controller
In a tennis game, it serves as your racket you swing with your arm. In a driving game, it serves as your steering wheel. For first-person shooters, the Wii Remote acts as your weapon that you point at an enemy. The list of potential uses goes on and on.
The Nunchuk contains the same motion-sensing technology enabled in the Wii Remote but also includes an analog stick to assist in character movement. In several games, players will use the analog stick of the Nunchuk to move their characters and the Wii Remote to perform a specific action, whether that's throwing a pass in football or aiming a ranged weapon in an action game.
Both controllers are completely ambidextrous.
The Classic Controller allows you to play classic games available through the Wii Shop Channel with ease. This controller is sold separately.
