Nintendo Wii Console, Mii characters and Wii Channels
Executive Summary By Vic Thomas
New Wii Consoles
If you still don’t know what a Wii (pronounced ‘we’) is, it is a games console from Nintendo. What makes this games machine different and why perhaps it is currently better than many other games machines is that you don’t have to spend your time sitting in front of a computer screen playing the games.
This games machine comes with clever hand held controllers called Wii Remotes that detect movement. This games machine can also connect wirelessly with the Nintendo DS handheld games console.
The Wii is backward-compatible to all Nintendo GameCube games and includes four ports for controllers and two slots for memory cards. There are a lot of different games you can play on this machine but the Wii Sports package available in most countries contains the five games of tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing. All these games are designed to demonstrate the motion-sensing capabilities of the Remote.
You can also use your own customised Mii Channel characters in compatible games to give the game that personal touch by making your own play characters. This games machine is however, more than just a games console, because with the built-in Wii Channels you can surf the Internet, edit your digital photos, check the news and weather, and much more.
All in all the Wii looks like a new generation of games machine and is likely to be used by a much wider audience of games player. For example, it would not be surprising to see its use in retirement homes to encourage physical activity in the elderly. There is fun for all ages in playing with this games machine.
