With fierce competition in the game console world, the Nintendo Wii offers a breath of fresh air and an innovative approach to gaming. The Wii features a small, highly esthetic clean design and its key feature is the uniquely designed controller known as the "Wiimote". This wireless controller responds to three dimensional motions, translating these movements to actions in games. It also has an additional attachable "nun chuck" which is perfect for sports games, among others. The unique design of the Wiimote and an array of games which make use of this make the Wii appealing to people of all ages and enjoyable either on your own or with friends and family, especially with the bundled Wii Sports game. However, the Wii isn't without flaw; compared to the competing consoles the Wii has relatively weak system hardware and thus offers significantly less impressive graphics limited to a maximum resolution of 576i, with no high definition support. Also, although it has wireless and wired networking capabilities and Internet services, the Wii offers a rather limited online gaming experience compared to the one offered by other consoles. Another downside is that the Wii can not act as a media player and does not offer DVD playback- restricting it to be used solely as a gaming console. We believe though that albeit these disadvantages, the unique gaming experience and the extremely competitive pricing make the Wii an excellent choice for those who seek a game console.
