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 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.The Wii Console Bundle includes the all-new Wii Console, Wii Remote Controller, Wii Sports Game Disc and an assortment of other accessories to jump-start your gaming experience.

Wii Console

The all-new Wii system from Nintendo features a slick, compact design that makes it a natural addition to any television set-up. It's white in color and can be displayed either vertically or horizontally. About 8.5 inches long, 6 inches wide and less than 2 inches thick (roughly the size of 3 DVD cases stacked on top of each other), the Wii console communicates wirelessly with the Internet via wireless or a Wii LAN adapter. Wii also can connect wirelessly with Nintendo DS. Wii is backward-compatible, able to play all Nintendo GameCube games and includes four ports for controllers and two slots for memory cards.

Wii Console Bundle Includes:

  • Wii Console
  • Wii Console Stand
  • Wii Remote Controller
  • Wii Nunchuk Controller
  • Wii Sensor Bar
  • Wii A/C Adapter
  • Wii A/V Cable
  • Wii Sports Game Disc

Wii Console Features:

  • PowerPC CPU (code-named Broadway), made with a 90nm SOI CMOS process, jointly developed with and manufactured by IBM, and GPU developed with ATI
  • Single self-loading media bay that plays single- or double-layered 12-cm optical discs for the Wii console, as well as 8-cm Nintendo GameCube discs
  • Input: four Wii Remote controllers can communicate with Wii, which features a bay for an SD memory card
  • Output: an AV Multi-output port for component, composite or S-video
  • WiiConnect24 service: Console communicates with the Internet even when the power is turned off, meaning you get new surprises or game updates even if the system is idle

Wii Remote Controller:

To make gaming as accessible to people of all ages and all abilities, Nintendo created a controller that was as inviting as it was sophisticated. The outcome is the Wii Remote controller. Nintendo fused the familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology to come up with an input device for the ages. Sporting the size of a traditional remote control, the wireless Wii Remote Controller uses Bluetooth technology to send your actions to the Wii console from as far as 30 feet away. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket you swing with your arm. In a driving game, it serves as your steering wheel. The list of potential uses goes on and on. Includes a speaker, rumble feature and expansion port for additional input devices, such as the Nunchuk controller.

Wii Nunchuk Controller:

Contoured to perfectly fit a player's hand, the Nunchuk controller connects to the Wii Remote controller at its expansion port, and is used in conjunction with the Wii Remote controller. It contains the same motion-sensing technology enabled in the Wii Remote controller but also includes an analog stick to assist in character movement. Use the Nunchuk's analog stick to perform a specific action.

Limit one (1) console per household.

Not Just A Fad

"Many current gamers will say that the Nintendo Wii is not up to par with the other next gen consoles like the PS3 or the Xbox 360. Without HD capabilities or online gaming, people are beginning to wonder if the Wii will just die out as a fad. But, at half the price of either of those and selling out before stores even open, the system is making its own stand against the majority. The new Wii system is probably o..." Read Full Review »

"Well, the wii is a great console at first, but it gets really boring after awhile. Especially if you dont have alot of entertaining games on it.
