Nintendo Wii arrived on November 19, 2006 with Xbox360 already released and PlayStation 3, the HD god of new age gaming, ready to take over the world. Behind all the hype about the two new systems that would take HD (high definition) gaming to new heights, it was hard to hear Nintendo’s muffled voice, but it wouldn’t be long before Nintendo’s cry of innovative new games changed the mood. the chatter of HD games in a subtle whisper.
Nintendo knew that its power was in innovation. Nintendo wanted to take the entire gaming experience to new levels. The Nintendo Wii changed the entire perspective of the gaming world. Just before the holidays, Nintendo placed game stations or “Wii Stations” in hundreds, if not thousands, of shopping malls across the country to advertise the Wii’s capabilities. Soon after, the Wii virus spread. Young and old alike raved about the fun and innovation that the Nintendo Wii brought to market. I remember standing in the middle of my local mall watching all generations grab the Nintendo Wii remote called the Wiimote. I learned tons of information while watching the fun and play testing myself, luckily there was a Nintendo representative to instruct me and educate me on the Nintendo Wii. The Wiimote is a wireless controller that contains motion sensors that literally takes interactivity to new levels. Have you ever played air guitar? Well, imagine playing baseball, tennis or bowling, you can do all this with the wiimote and a game called Wii Sports. Wii Sports and many other games use motion sensor technology to put you in the game and take interactive play to new levels. The Nintendo Wii will also allow four controllers to connect wirelessly to the board simultaneously so you and your friends can play together. As I watched everyone at my local mall spend their free time with the system. I knew that the Nintendo Wii would change the whole perspective of the world of video games.
I realized that for many years consumers young and old have been afraid to enter the world of home console gaming due to the difficult controls and many buttons now found on most video game console controllers. . Nintendo knew that to succeed with the competition from high definition games. They had to make the games more interactive, easy and fun. But the Wii’s capabilities didn’t stop it. Nintendo stayed true to its fans for the long haul. With the Nintendo Wii you can download your favorite classic titles (via the Internet) to your Nintendo Wii. So yes, you can play Super Mario Brothers just like you used to as a kid. There are many original Nintendo titles that can be downloaded from an online marketplace that can be accessed through your Nintendo Wii.
Overall, I’m very impressed and happy that I can now interact with video games like never before. In fact, I can play video games with my mother and father, who until now wouldn’t dare to touch a video game controller. The Nintendo Wii has given experienced and inexperienced gamers an experience that won’t be easy to copy. Nintendo has been the most innovative gaming company the world has ever known. When I found out that the Nintendo Wii was only $250 bucks, it sent me through the roof. Not only is the price great, but the experiences I’ll have playing with my Nintendo Wii will be even better.
