This simple yet ground breaking idea is expressed not only though the system's evocative name, which is easily pronounced in a variety of languages, and suggests two players side by side, but also through its innovative list of features and extensive list of playable titles. 
Wii with Wii Remote. View larger. | A Little Box With Plenty of Power
As with every console, much of the buzz surrounds the specs. The Wii boasts 512 MB of internal flash memory, two USB 2.0 ports, and a slot for SD memory expansion. The system’s technological heart -- a processing chip developed with IBM and code-named "Broadway" and a graphics chipset from ATI code-named "Hollywood" -- deliver stunning performance. And instead of a tray, Wii uses a single, self-loading media bay that plays both 12-centimeter optical discs used for the new system, as well as Nintendo GameCube discs. Revolutionary Control
No bigger than a small traditional remote control, the wireless Wii Remote is a truly multi functional device. The magic of the Wii Remote's design lies within; acellerometers inside the controller measure movement in all directions and at all speeds. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket as you swing away. In driving games it serves as a steering wheel, allowing you to swerve to avoid obstacles or pickup power-ups. In first-person shooters, it acts as a firearm that you can point directly at an on-screen enemy. The controller also has a force feedback "Rumble" feature and an expansion port for use with accessories, such as the Nunchuck, which adds an analog thumbstick and trigger buttons. The system allows for up to four controllers to be linked at a time and utilizes standard Bluetooth wireless technology. For those who prefer the feel of a traditional controller an adapter is available that fits over the Wii's remote.

Wii Sports. View larger. | Wii Sports is Included
This is what video games should be: fun for everyone. Wii Sports offers five distinct sports experiences, each using the Wii Remote controller to provide a natural, intuitive and realistic feel. To play a Wii Sports game, all you need to do is pick up a controller and get ready for the pitch, serve or that right hook. If you've played any of these sports before, you're ready for fun!
GameCube controller and memory ports. | The Depth of the Nintendo Game Catalog
Each Wii comes with a game compilation called "Wii Sports," including tennis, golf, baseball and bowling games, that show off the console's intuitive new controller, but Wii also plays games developed specifically for it as well as fan-favorite games from Nintendo's 20-year-old library. Its drive is compatible with GameCube discs, and select Nintendo titles from the original NES of the 1980s all the way through the Nintendo 64 are available for download through the "Virtual Console" for $5 and $10 respectively. To support this backwards compatibility the Wii includes four ports for classic Nintendo GameCube controllers and two slots for Nintendo GameCube Memory Cards. As if that weren't enough, the Virtual Console will also make available a few titles from SNES console contemporaries, Sega Genesis and TurboGrafx 16. Also, Wii utilizes Nintendo's newly-announced wireless feature, WiiConnect24. This worldwide feature allows players to receive content such as Wii Message Board messages sent from other Wii consoles, Miis, e-mails, updated channel and game content, and notification of software updates even while the console is on standby, keeping the fun going even when you are not online.

 Wii - best thing since sliced breadJul 26, 2010
I love the Wii gaming system. This was actually purchased used a second Wii system for our basement. We have a very small family room in the house we recently purchased and were unable to set up any of the fitness and dancing games, so we got this for the basement gym area.
Wii is highly interactive and the best thing is that most games get you up and moving, which is great for both adults and kids. When I DDR or any of the fitness games, I always lose weight.
Great family fun!
 The first of its kind reallyJul 22, 2010
They're have been other products like this, but this is probably the best aimed. The Wii is cool, its fun especially for all ages, for me though it just doesn't last as long as other consoles - the fun I mean, it doesn't seem like you're in control as much as you should be when playing the games. It will get better, definitely worth buying though. I've never met a person that hasn't liked it, and thats been like 3 years.
Great ProductJul 18, 2010
This is an excellent product. Connects easily to a tv and setup is fast. Definitely opt to get a second controller. Along with the amusement of playing video games, this unit works flawlessly with Netflix. Great activity for parties and social events.
Excellent GameJul 12, 2010
I bought this game as a gift for my father (on Father's day), and the quality is excellent. We very much enjoy it as a family. It is definitely worth buying as a gift. The price is not too expensive, and it ships very fast because I also paid extra fee in order for it to be shipped to my home by 2 days, and it did. Once again, it was in excellent shape and conditions. Undoubtedly a 5 out 5 rating.
Great System For the Whole Family!Jul 10, 2010
I have really enjoyed the Nintendo Wii over the last year. While we go through stages on non-usage, I always seem to find my way back to it. This is a great system to play and enjoy with family and friends.
One of the greatest things about the Wii is that there is a very small learning curve. So not only can my Wife enjoy the Wii but so can my Mother! The Wii is a great system for casual gamers and will be a great system for years to come!
