Nintendo Wii Key Features & review
The Wii, is an small and discrete console (In size no more than three DVD cases stacked on top of each other), making it ideal for the home rather than some of the other more bulkier consoles.
What stands out about the Wii is its unusual controller known as the "Wiimote". It has motion sensors that enable the user to input directly with the wave of the controller (e.g. the player can replicate the motions used in tennis, golf or fishing ).
The Wiimote also plays sound and includes force feedback, allowing the user to experience rumbles, to mimic feelings experienced during the game. he TWiimote can be also hooked up to an analog stick, making the "Nunchuck controller".
An additional feature to the Wii is its “virtual console” software, which enables the user to use a download service to play retro console games from such consoles as the NES, SNES, N64, Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) and the NEC TurboGrafx-16. These can be stored on flash memory cards (512 MB) which is more than adequate to store a collection of games. A Hard Disk can be pulgged in via USB port if more storage is required.
Furthermore, the Wii has backwards compatibility with GameCube games allowing GameCube discs to be placed directly in to the console. To facilitate backwards compatibility, the console also comes with a retro-styled gamepad. As well as all this, the Wii comes with ports to connect original GameCube controllers (one of the most ergonomic standard controllers around).
