Wii Info and Specs
Wii Console
Stand it up or lay it down -- the Wii console's slot-loading drive will work fine either way. Measuring a little less than three stacked DVD cases, it should also fit easily in any entertainment center. Just make sure you find room for the included sensor bar, which enables the Wii controller to work, and needs to be set horizontally above or below your TV. A concealed slot on the front connects regular SD digital storage cards, and the Wii can also handle Nintendo GameCube controllers, memory cards for saved games, USB devices, or connect to your wireless network.
Wii Controller
Via a combination of high-tech acceleration detectors and an infra-red sensor bar, the Wii's unique controller detects its position, alignment, and speed of movement. It's short on buttons, but you‘ll hardly need them for many Wii games, including the bundled Wii Sports. Just wave the wireless controller in the right direction and you'll swing a racket, throw a ball, aim a gun, or draw a bow. The remote even has built-in storage for your user profile and a small speaker. Hold it sideways, and it's a Nintendo controller. Plug in the (included) nunchuck attachment and you'll have a motion-sensing controller in each hand and enough buttons for even the most complex games. Drop the remote into one of the other planned attachments, and it becomes a steering wheel or a lightgun. This unprecedented versatility may revolutionize the way we think about video games.
Wii Channels
Open up the Wii's TV-like channel system to bring the wide world of Wii right into your living room. Different channels let you keep up with news and weather, surf the Internet, check out message boards, or browse through your photo collection on an inserted SD card. If you're feeling a little more creative, the Mii Channel lets you draw your own avatar to use in games like Wii Sports or save to your controller to take to a friend's house. Best of all, this is where you'll find the Virtual Console channel and the Wii's selection of downloadable games from past consoles like the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and Nintendo 64.
Wii Difference
Compare the Wii's technology with the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, and it may appear less powerful. Way to miss the point! You're not going to fire up your Wii to show off your expensive new high-definition TV, but if you're throwing a party, want something to play with your family, or enjoy classic games from the last 20 years of video games history, this is the machine to turn to firs
