Nintendo Wii: The Hottest Game System Around

WiiThe conclusive leader in the video gaming industry, Nintendo has definiately hit another one out of the park with their Wii game console. This system is a cutting-edge video game system that puts the gamer right in the center of the action. Unlike most video game systems that have controllers with buttons and levers that control the movements of the characters within the game, the Nintendo Wii is able to sense the movements of the player and respond accordingly. In other words, to play a game of tennis on the Wii, the player will hold the controller in their hand and swing, just as if they were swinging a tennis racquet. Likewise, in Wii bowling, the player holds the controller as if it’ were a bowling ball (without releasing it, of course! :) ).

Introduced to the U.S. market in November 2006. the Nintendo Wii was an immediate success. The frenzy for the Wii were so great that stores couldn’t even begin to keep enough in stock to meet the demand. Recent figures show that more than 23 million Nintendo Wii game consoles have been sold in the United States alone, and over 50 million worldwide. 

Since the Nintendo Wii is a very active video game system, it appeals to a much different demographic than traditional game systems. Many buyers of the Nintendo Wii are first-time video game console buyers, lured by its unique design.

One innovative addition to the Nintendo Wii is the Wii Fit Board. This unique controller is similar in appearance to a bathroom scale. Players stand on the board and by shifting their weight, walking, or jumping, they are able to control a character on the screen. Using this distinctive feature, the Wii has even been integrated into exercise programs at nursing homes and rehabilitation centers.

Even though the Wii is rather unconventional, it still appeals to hardcore gamers, and offers a broad range of games for just about every preference. Some of the most popular games include: Mario Kart, Wii Fit, Guitar Hero, Star Wars, Rock Band and Wii Ski.

For anyone who wants a unique gaming experience, the Nintendo Wii is a great choice . Not only can it be used to play games, but it comes with built-in wireless networking capability and can be used surf the Internet. This feature can also be used to play games with other players who are remotely located, and to download system upgrades and other available games and components.

We love the Wii and believe that it is the most innovative gaming console to hit the market in recent history. From young children to the senior citizens, it has appeal for just about anyone.
