Nintendo’s president says Wii is “fun.” You can test it yourself if you live in an area with a store that sells the Nintendo system. The store will offer you a free demo to try for yourself. That is trust. It is also the best way to discover how this extraordinary system works.
What can you play? Well, use the remote like your golf club and play the “Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07”. Or try “Excite Truck”. Other publishers have produced games for the Nintendo Wii, including “SSX Blue” by Electronic Arts and “Sonic and the Secret Rings” by Segas. Along with your console there are five different sports in which you can use the remote control and develop a delivery that is “natural, intuitive and realistic” in each sport you play.
When you open the Wii box, you will find the console, the sensor bar, the Wii remote control, the Nunchuk, the Wii sports disc, the Wii console stand, the Wii adapter and the Wii cable. The console has four controller ports and two memory card slots. You can lie down or sit upright. The console is only 8.5 inches long, 6 inches wide, and less than 2 inches thick.
Wii is backward compatible with all Nintendo Game Cube games. This compatibility was one of the key factors in the design and engineering considerations by Nintendo management. It was made for the benefit of all those who are already Nintendo customers.
Remote controls and nunchuks have received considerable attention for their ability to put the player in direct and intuitive control of game action. In a game of tennis, it serves as a racket when swinging the arm; in a driving game, the remote control becomes the steering wheel; For shooters, the Wii Remote acts as your weapon while aiming at the enemy. The potential uses for these devices are endless.
The Nunchuk is designed to fit a player’s hand and is connected to the Wii Remote. They are used together. The Nunchuk moves the characters in the game and the remote control makes them perform a specific action. The Nunchuk and the remote are relatively dependent on each other and can be held in the hand that is most comfortable for the player. The ambidextrous nature of the Wii controllers used together allows for extraordinary action capabilities. Measurements can be taken from a distance of 15 to 30 feet, and up to 4 remote controls can be connected at the same time. This makes the multiplayer fun even more. A classic controller allows you to play classic games and can be purchased separately.
Recent media reports claim that the Nintendo Wii has outsold every other game system available.
