Open the box and inside you'll find the Wii console, a wii remote (wiimote), a nunchuck remote, wires for video, power, a sensor for the top of your TV, books and the Wii sports game. You can buy an S-Video cable for it if you need the best graphics quality possible, but the standard video looks great...a little cartoonish, but great. When you look at the back you'll notice no network port. This thing has wireless capability!!!! |
The disc loads into the Wii just like the CD player in your car. There's no tray to break. Nintendo is always thinking.
Some notes: The Wii has 512 MB memory for saving games and downloading programs from the internet. It also has a standard SD card slot. I put a 1GB card in mine, but it takes bigger sizes. They sell a Nintendo brand 2GB card, but you can buy any SD brand you want if you find one on sale.
Review: A lot of fun to setup and play!
Here's how Nintendo answered some tough questions about the Wii.Why is it called Wii?"Wii sounds like 'we', which emphasizes that the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii." Originally it was code named "Revolution". Why change it? "Revolution as a name is not ideal; it's long, and in some cultures, it's hard to pronounce. So we wanted something that was short, to the point, easy to pronounce, and distinctive. That's how 'Wii,' as a console name, was created." |
