The Wii console has changed video game play from a largely solo activity into a rewarding and exciting experience the whole family can become involved in.

The Wii console doesn?t just play video games. It is the core component of an exhilarating true motion sensing system for playing a whole new class of on-screen games. Using Wii, game players can become actively involved in a whole range of games, form role playing games like Legend of Zelda right through to fast paced punch ups like Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

Real Action with Wii Controllers

The console is the beating heart of Wii. The basic controllers are pumping, flying, flailing legs and arms. The Wiimote remote control and it?s partner device, the Nunchuk controller allow Wii gamers to stop watching and start participating.

The Wiimote Controller

The Wiimote is nothing like your TV remote. It senses your every motion and turns that motion into live action on the screen.

When using the Wiimote you?ll find yourself balancing it on the top of your head, using it as a powerful crossbow or bashing back serves when it becomes a realistic feeling tennis racket.

The Wii Nunchuk Controller

The Nunchuck controller fits perfectly in either your left or right hand, while your other hand is free to hold the Wiimote. It plugs directly into the Wiimote and gives you seamless integration with the Wii console.

This makes you a two handed game player. You can go skiing, using both hands on the poles, take on opponents in a boxing ring, play both side of a pinball arcade machine or any other two handed operation that you come across in the thousands of available Wii games.

Using the Wii console along with the basic Wii controllers makes you feel like a true participant in any game you choose. Take a good look at Wii because with it gaming will never be the same again.
