Nintendo Wii, a new innovation in gaming consoles
Not long ago it seemed that Nintendo had been pushed out of the gaming console market because of the release of the Xbox and Playstation 2. Also with the release of the Xbox 3 and the soon to be released Playstation 3, Nintendo definitely needed to find something that could compete with these. The answer to this was the invention of the Nintendo Wii.
The Nintendo Wii has been developing for quite some time now and was initially known as the Nintendo "Revolution", but after a while the guys at Nintendo decided to change the name to "Wii".
The Wii console can be purchase in a verity of colors. It is a sleek rectangular box with a blue, LED illuminated slot receiver. They decided at Nintendo to keep the exterior simple and effective and it is certainly very different from the flashy Xbox 360.
Now let us talk about the actual features that a Wii has to offer you as a gamer.
First off, Nintendo has promised that the Wii will bring you a whole new gaming experience, and part of the implementation of this plan is that a small controller is provided with the Wii. Although it seems to be similar to a TV remote, it in fact contains motion sensors that can be utilized in various game play aspects. There are many games out there which take advantage of this technology such as Red Steel, Call of Duty, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, as well as Nintendo's own Wii packages known as Wii Sport and Wii Play. This controller provides the player with an effective way to aim and do other in-game tasks.
As for the hardware aspects of the Nintendo Wii, it is equipped with an IBM CPU, ATI graphics card, and 512MB of RAM memory. Plus it has wireless controllers, along with 2 USB ports, and a built in antennae for WiFi, Internet access. Unfortunately the Wii does not support HD output, although it does still have the potential to look good on a HDTV because of its wide screen facility and the 480p progressive scan technology.
The last thing I will mention is that the Wii has an amazing backwards compatibility feature which means that you can play any game that Nintendo has ever produced on this console.
But I suppose one of the biggest benefits where the Nintendo Wii is concerned, is its price. It is very affordable compared to the Xbox 360 or the PS3 when it comes on to the market. You should be able to easily pick up a Nintendo Wii for about $250-$299.
