Nintendo president says Wii is “fun.” You can try it out for yourself if you live in an area with a store that sells the Nintendo system. The store will prepare a free demo for you to try for yourself. That is trust. It is also the best way to find out how this remarkable system works.
What can you play? Well, use the remote as your golf club and play “Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07”. Or try “Excite Truck”. Other publishers have produced games for the Nintendo Wii, including Electronic Arts’ “SSX Blue” and Segas’ “Sonic and the Secret Rings”. Along with your console are five different sports where you can use the remote 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 Wii Console, Sensor Bar, Wii Remote, Nunchuk, Wii Sports Disc, Wii Console Stand, Wii Adapter, and Wii Cable. The console has four controller ports and two memory card slots. You can lie down or sit upright. Console measures just 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 design and engineering considerations by Nintendo management. It was made for the benefit of all those who are already Nintendo customers.
Remote controllers and Nunchuks have received considerable attention for their ability to put the player in direct and intuitive control of the game’s action. In a game of tennis, it serves as a racket as you swing your arm; in a driving game, the remote becomes your steering wheel; For shooters, the Wii Remote acts as your weapon as you take aim at the enemy. The potential uses for these devices are endless.
The Nunchuk is designed to fit in a gamers hand and is attached to the Wii Remote. They are used in conjunction with each other. The Nunchuk moves the characters in the game and the remote control prompts them to perform a specific action. The Nunchuk and remote are only relatively dependent on each other and can be held in whichever hand is most comfortable for the player. The ambidextrous nature of Wii controls 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 a time. This makes it even more fun for multiple players. A classic controller allows you to play classic games and can be purchased separately.
Recent media reports indicate that the Nintendo Wii has outsold every other gaming system available.
