Nintendo Wii Video Game System Simplified

With the innovative wireless controllers and “Wii-mote control” with 3D, the Nintendo Wii video game system has the most impressive set of features ever available in any Nintendo console. Just released in November 2006 the Wii has already won the “Game Critics Award” for Best Hardware and Best of Show at the E3 2006.

Boasting state of the art components the Wii is one of the smallest game consoles available measuring only 157 millimeters in height but still packs two processors for an incredible gaming experience. It can be positioned either vertically or horizontally. An optical drive on the front of the console accepts Wii Discs and GameCube Discs. With two USB ports, 512mb of built in memory and an SD slot for expansion this console is built to be flexible and usable for a very long time.

The most impressive feature of the Wii, though, is usability of its remote controls which serve as accelerometers, trigger buttons, pointing devices, analog joysticks and infrared detectors which enables 3D positioning. What’s all that mean? You simply use hand gestures to control game movements. These functions are all enabled via Bluetooth technology. The Wii is also wireless enabled or use the Ethernet adaptor to connect through your broadband Internet service for gameplay, download new games, software updates or redeem game points. New users and experts alike think the Nintendo Wii offers the most innovative features at very affordable prices.
