Playing Games with the Nintendo Wii

Cindy Thomas
Nintendo took on PlayStation 3 by releasing its popular Nintendo Wii at the end of 2006. By the end of of 2006, Nintendo had already sold over one million Wii gaming units. This gaming system offers some cool game playing time.

These little gaming beauties offer the player hours of game playing entertainment, and at a lower cost than the competing PlayStation 3 by Sony and Microsoft's XBox. At $650 to $750 for the entire gaming bundle, Wii offers a substantial savings over shopping for a PlayStation 3 or an XBox.

The Wii is preferred by shoppers not only because it costs less than the PS3 and the XBox 360, but because of it's more compact design and its sleek look. It can also be displayed in a vertical or horizontal position, it offers internet access, it allow use of older Nintendo games, and it's more readily available for purchase over Sony's PS3 and the XBox 360 when shopping.

Purchasing the Nintendo Wii gaming package gives the buyer the Wii game playing console, the Wii classic controller, Wii sports, an AV cable, the sensor bar, and Nunchuk, a Wii remote, and the an AC adapter. It comes with a 512 MB built-in flash memory.

Offering wireless controllers and the ability to play almost any older Nintendo game makes this system very popular among video game players. The remote works as far as 30 feet away, and the system offers two USB ports and the ability to access the internet.

Just some of the games available to play with the Nintendo Wii system are:

The Legends of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Rayman Raving Rabbids, Konami Elebits, Red Steel, Call of Duty 3, Metal Slug Anthology, Warioware: Smooth Moves, Super Swing Golf, Sega Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, Ubisoft GT Pro Series with Wheel, Cars, Trauma Center Second Opinion, EA Games Madden NFL '07, Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII, Rampage Total Destruction, Excite Truck, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Avatar: The Last Airbender, EA Games Need for Speed Carbon, Ubisoft Far Cry: Vengeance, Ubisoft Monster 4x4: World Circuit, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Disney's Chicken Little: Ace in Action, Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, GT Pro Series, and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

The Nintendo Wii is designed so that the video game player may have the ultimate gaming experience. With the new games available and its ability to play the older games, it's no wonder the Wii is preferred in sales over the XBox and the PlayStation 3.

    I used a Wii right after they were released, via a family member who bought one. The controller was not very responsive and caused the games to be tedious tests of patience and eventually everyone lost interest. We were trying to play Call of Duty 3 I think and you are supposed to do a twisting motion with the controller to duck or pop out from behind objects..errrrt...didn't happen; a lot of sitting around all glitchy.

    Yeah lady, you definitely look like you're up to date with gaming systems that are cool. You've probably never played and wouldn't know a Wii from a PSP from an oldschool Nintendo from an Atari. You've just been reading that the Nintendo Wii is technologically hip and with it and decided to write about it. Awesome.

    I've got the Wii, and I am lovin' it. My wife ordered Zelda, and I can't wait until it gets here!

    I was reading today that the PSP 3 is more power than the software used for it will ever need in the near future, so that it is basically a waste of money in this regard. Not sure about Wii but good to know the price tag is cheaper.
