The Nintendo Wii is a strange gaming console in comparison to the latest releases from their competitors. Although not as cutting edge in video graphics, the Wii console provides a unique gaming experience that its competitors cannot. The unique nunchuck interface allows the gamer the ability to relinquish the now all too common passive sitting-on-the-couch role, for a new interactive environment. The control can sense arm movements and translate these movements wirelessly into the game. Characters respond to actual movements instead of to frantic button mashing and keypad pressing.

When turning on the Wii console for the first time a player is prompted to create a Mii. A Mii is an avatar or graphical representation of the player within the games. Creating your Mii will familiarize you with the controls as well as provide some amusement as you try different eyebrows or noses on your Mii. Once you are done you will truly feel part of the games you play.

Playing the Nintendo Wii is very simple with only a few minute learning curve. It can easily be played by young children as well as the elderly, as has been shown in retirement home Wii bowling tournaments across the country. The interactive nature of this gaming console allows generations of gamers to play together that were never possible before. Trying to convince your grandmother to play videos games was nearly impossible before the release of the Wii, whereas now, you may have trouble getting her to give up the controller.

The possibilities for the Wii are nearly endless, allowing shooters, scrollers, action, and role-playing games to take place on the same console utilizing the same unique controller. New offerings even promise to help motivate the casual gamer to get more interactive exercise with the console. The use of Wii consoles in physical therapy has also been documented, helping motivate those recovering from accidents to perform their exercises.

The console, games and additional controllers are reasonable priced making this system an excellent choice for a family on a budget. The Wii costs hundreds of dollars less than other systems and provide entertainment for the entire family. Since the Wii has been designated as Nintendo’s main console for the next several years, there is little chance it will be deemed obsolete like other gaming systems.

The Nintendo Wii interface allows websurfing and access to classic games, providing even more options to the gamer. The Wii is flexible and unique, and reopens the world of gaming to casual gamers who don’t want to spend lots of time or money in a console. It is also a good starting point for people who have never played video games before.
