Play With the NintendoWii

Play With the NintendoWii

The latest installment of video game giant Nintendo has just been released and people are still clamoring for more. There have been thousands of pre-orders all over the world for Nintendo Wii and when the game consoles were released last 2006, not all pre-orders were met because of the great demand for them. Up until now in the UK, there is still a great demand for the Nintendo Wii. The Wii will be released in South Korea in the later part of this year.

The Nintendo Wii was first conceived in 2001, just as Game Cube was being released. Nintendo Wii was initially named Revolution but it was changed to simply Wii, pronounced as 'we'. It is the first ever game console, outside of Japan, from Nintendo that does not bear the company name in the trademark. Initial media and game developers' reaction to the name was negative but Nintendo did not change it. Instead, the Nintendo Wii was marketed and promoted worldwide even before the launch. Nintendo invested a huge amount into advertising for the Wii.

Nintendo Wii is the smallest home unit Nintendo has ever made. The console has an optical media drive that can accommodate the Nintendo Wii optical discs measuring 12 cm and the Game Cube Game Discs. Players can also use WiiConnect24 to download data. At the rear of the console, we can find 2 USB ports and an SD card slot is found at the front of the console, under the cover. The SD card can be used to game save transferring and to create custom in-game music to be used for some games.

Wii Online

The Nintendo Wii can connect to the internet via a built in Wi-Fi or USB which connects to the Ethernet. The two options allow players to access Nintendo service. The video gaming company does not charge any fees for this service. The Wii gaming console can communicate with other consoles through a self generated wireless LAN that allows wireless multiplayer on individual tv sets.

Restrictions

The Nintendo Wii has parental control features that allow parents to set restrictions regarding video content of the games. The console reads the content rating of the disc and if the rating is greater than the set age level, the game will not load. Players will need the correct password to override the system. The restriction feature can also block or filter internet access via the gaming console. When using the Nintendo Game Cube Discs to play the Nintendo Wii, the parental restrictions do not function.

Understanding the Wii Console

Understanding the Wii Console

The Nintendo Wii has been released in some countries but other countries are still awaiting the local release of the consoles and software. Earlier Nintendo released information about the prices and projected delivery dates of the Nintendo Wii consoles. The majority of the initial units produced were released in the Americas and most software was to be available there initially, too. Despite the preparations, there was still a shortage of console units when they were released.

Initially, the game console was named Revolution but eventually it was changed to Wii. They omitted the brand name Nintendo to simplify the name. This is the first time, outside Japan, that Nintendo did not include their company name in the trademark. There were some negative reactions when the name was announced but Nintendo only intensified advertising and promotions of the Wii console.

Wii Statistics

The Nintendo Wii console is so far the smallest console for homes. It is also the lightest video game console available among the major names in the video gaming industry. The console can be placed vertically or horizontally in consideration of space. Several features of the Nintendo Wii console are the capacity to load both the Wii Optical Discs and the Nintendo Game Cube Game Discs. The console has WiiConnect24 that enables information transfer. There are also a couple of USB ports at the rear of the Wii console. An SD card slot is at the front of the console and it can be used to upload photos and music. It can also be used to save back up for games and to download Virtual Console games.  

Wii Colors

The Wii console comes in different colors although; at the moment it is just in white. The Wii Remote color usually corresponds with the Wii console it comes with. The other soon to be available colors are red, green, silver and black. Previously, the Wii Remote which was presented at E3 2006 came in a light blue color.

The Wii console comes with a Wii Remote that uses a combination of accelerometers and infrared detection to sense the console's position in 3D space. This allows the players to control the game using gestures along with the traditional buttons. The controller connects to the Wii console using Bluetooth while the Wii Remote connects to other devices using a port at the bottom part of the Wii console. Nintendo has bundled the Wii console with a Nunchuck unit that has an accelerometer and analog stick with trigger buttons. A wrist strap accompanies the Wii Remote to avoid it being dropped or thrown by the player while playing. Some straps have been known to fail and Nintendo offers a better replacement strap for free.

The Wii Is A Much Appreciated Gaming Console

The Wii Is A Much Appreciated Gaming Console

Anybody who is into gaming would really appreciate having a gaming console such as the Wii which is certainly very different from other available game consoles that are hitting the market today. You receive excellent games along with the Wii and you will be introduced to its controller in a most proper manner. With it, you will be sure to notice the Nintendo feel and be assured of the chance of having fun with family as well.

A Different Feel To Start With

If you have tried out the Wii remote as well as the Nunchuck controller you will certainly notice some difference in their feel at first, though with a little bit of intuition you should become used to playing games, which in any case is a lot simpler than simply having to press keys. You will also find that the Wii setup is simple and it allows you to start your gaming experience in a very short time.

When you play games on the Wii you will notice the smoothness as well as find the experience rather absorbing. A notable drawback of course, is its graphics that lack in resolution although it is sufficiently alright for the purpose of gaming. Nevertheless, the games controller that has been integrated very well by Nintendo is a very much appreciated feature that brings greater joy in playing on the Wii.

The Wii wireless setup does not involve any complexities and you just need to connect it and then get the latest on sports, weather as well as news using the free online service of Nintendo. For memory, the Wii uses a standard SD card and it is also easy to purchase higher capacity memory at affordable prices.

A feature of the Wii in which there is something to complain about is its battery life, which you will find with the AA batteries becoming drained of power sooner than you would have wanted it to. It may also lead to losing the remote connection with the console when batteries have run low. However, the Wii uses excellent materials and the quality of workmanship is noticeably superior to other competing products, and you will also find the remote to be sturdy enough to handle instances of falls that are often caused by children.

You will also see this product being sold out pretty fast, which means that you will have to buy the Wii as soon as it hits your local store, or else have to put up with disappointment and having to wait till the next lot hits the market.
