Nintendo Wii
Written by Dan Collins
It’s safe to say that the Nintendo Wii is the nation’s favourite console this year after the latest set of results show that it has dominated the games market by 52% in January and selling nearly 700,000 units in this month alone.
With such a variety of games and add-ons available on the Wii it’s no wonder that they completely outsold their competitors by such a phenomenal amount this year. Part of the reason the Nintendo Wii has met such great success is down to the fact it is unlike any other console currently on the market. Using hand held motion controlled sensors and balance boards to interact with the games employs the user to get involved in the games, rather than just playing them.
Not only is the Wii great for playing on your own, but unlike a lot of other consoles the Nintendo Wii is great fun to play in large groups of people. Laughing at your family and friends swinging for a virtual tennis ball on Wii Sports can be very entertaining.
As the Nintendo Wii gets older, newer and more advanced technologies are being released for it. The latest of these would be the balance board which can be combined with the latest fitness craze; Wii Fit. As demonstrated recently in the news, not only is the Wii Fit being used at home, but now is also being used for special needs physical education classes. This technology has helped many children who would normally be unable to take part in different sports get the chance to do so.
As well as moving with the times and keeping up with the latest technologies, the Nintendo Wii is also going retro by bringing out original games that were on the commodore 64 that will be available to play on the Wii. The Nintendo Wii is already backwards compatible to the game cube and so is open to many more games than people originally thought.
What the Nintendo Wii lacks in graphics and detail it certainly makes up for it with some of the best fun-filled games around. Getting the user directly involved in the game is a genius idea and I personally cannot wait for any new releases that will be brought out.
There are so many places selling the Nintendo Wii and the Wii Fit a good deal can be found fairly easy. Once you have your Nintendo Wii, you may find it useful to look for Wii Cheats and codes, as well as hints and tips to guide you through the games.
