Nintendo Wii

Added by craigslistj 2 years ago
Next generation Nintendo Console, The Wii video game system (pronounced "we") is designed to attract people, regardless of their age or video game experience, to sit down and play together.

Details

The two Wii features Nintendo thinks will create new levels of gaming community are built-in Wi-Fi access, supported by a new online gaming service, and Wii's intuitive, wireless, motion-sensitive game controller.

Nintendo keeps things simple with the Wii. It comes in only one version, which, at about $250 / £175 , costs significantly less than the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3. The Wii also includes one pleasant surprise, a simple but infectious game called Wii Sports that lets users get a feel for the system's wireless controller. You can swap the remote back and forth to play golf or to bowl, but if you want to play tennis or baseball head-to-head, you will need to purchase at least one more controller.

Yes, the Xbox 360 and PS3 have a lot more CPU horsepower and better graphics capabilities. But who cares? The Wii is just so much more fun to play no wonder it's been outselling the competition.

For "serious" gaming, the Xbox 360 is probably a better platform with great high-definition graphics which is nearly photo-realistic. But when people come over to play, the Wii gets favored over and over again. The graphics look a little cartoonish, but the gameplay with the innovative controller is so addictive no-one really seems to care.

One word of advise: If you get a Wii, make sure you also get an S-Video or Component cable to hook it up to your display at home. It will improve your whole gaming experience quite a lot. The composite cable that the console comes with is the only serious oversight Nintendo made with this otherwise nearly perfect product.

I have one and it's the best work out! I play tennis and have boxing matches in my living room on a daily basis. I love it.
