FEATURES- Wii Console
The sleek Wii console, no larger than a stack of several DVD cases,
includes Wii Sports, a sensor bar, an AV cable, a Wii stand, a Wii
Remote, and a Nunchuk controller for even more exciting game-
control possibilities.
Featuring a remarkable wireless controller experience, the Nintendo
Wii console invites players into game worlds and activities like
never before. Whether they're young or old, expert gamers or
beginners, Wii players will express themselves with intuitive
motion control using the Wii Remote: a flick of the wrist to swing
a baseball bat or tennis racket, a backswing and follow-through to
send a golf ball flying over a pristine fairway.
Wii Sports, packaged with the Wii console, introduces players to
those and many other experiences. Wii also taps into Nintendo's
unrivaled legacy of great games with the Virtual Console.
Connecting via wireless broadband to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Wii
owners will be able to spend Virtual Console points to download
selected classic games from NES, Super NES and N64 video game
consoles.
And through WiiConnect24, owners will be able to access even more
content. Four-player compatibility as well as the ability to
compete with other Wii players over broadband internet means that
Wii offers a true social experience.
