Lovers of high technology games will surely be among those who will line up to get their own version of Nintendo’s new video game machine which has been simply baptized as Wii.
Yes, it is pronounced as we, giving reference to its ability to showcase all games in one console. The name also wants to project the idea that it is a game machine that can b e played by almost everyone. Its makers simply call it “Wii” making it the first product to be sold in the market without the obvious name of its maker etched on the product. It is guaranteed to tickle the fancy of people who enjoyed the previous offerings of Nintendo.
What makes Wii different is its controller which is aptly called the Wii controller or remote. The wireless remote is able to sense motion and can be used by players as a pointing apparatus. It also boasts of the Wii Connect 24 which enables the game machine to access Internet updates.
Measuring 8.5 by 6 inches and only two inches in bulk, the Nintendo Wii is a small and a very stylish game machine which was originally launched in white color. To demonstrate and visualize its thickness, the new Nintendo Wii is just like three DVDs put together in terms of its thickness.
The new Nintendo Wii was codenamed Revolution during its creation and is a welcome and able competitor to the just-released PlayStation 3 by Sony as well as the Xbox 360 by Microsoft.
The award-winning new video game machine was first hinted by Nintendo in 2004, was unveiled in 2005 and its prototype shown during the Tokyo Game Show last 2005.
