Having made its debut in November 2006, the Wii has enjoyed
great success ever since. Known far and wide for its wireless
controls, the Wii has been able to create devotees out of those
who have never showed a prior interest in video games. Since its
release, the Wii has made headlines than any other video game
console. This is mostly due to its benefits in the area of
active play phenomenon. At a base price of $250, which includes
one controller and basic setup accessories, the Wii can also be
found in complete bundle packages that include games and
accessories starting at $350 and on up.

The main features of the Nintendo Wii are its wireless
controllers referred to as Wii Remotes and a lightweight 6x8
console in a vertical stand. At a weight of less than three
pounds, the console is now known as the lightest pieces of
gaming technology available. The console currently only comes in
white; however, other colors such as silver, black and red are
slated for arrival in the near future. One of the top features
of this console is the ability to play not only Wii games but
other Nintendo console games. This can include all GameCube
games and even games downloaded off the internet.

The Wii is most widely known for providing players with active
play experience. Wii Remotes and their infrared sensors detect
position and movement, allowing players to swing, jab, toss,
bowl, shoot, drive, cast and much more. The active play
experience not only gives games a realistic feel, it, unlike
other game consoles, gets the player up and moving. A vast
number of parents and teachers that were previously uneasy with
video games have managed to make peace with the idea of active
play. Many are still wary about the number of hours spent
playing video games but are much more comfortable with what time
is spent on the Wii.

The Wii is not only found in homes but in occupational and
behavioral therapy settings, hospitals and even retirement
homes. The number of games, lack of wires and user friendly set
up makes it easy to use for those who are younger or older, with
or without video game skills. The fact that the Wii Remote
requires action to be effective has made it an extraordinary
physical therapy tool. Whereas other activities can seem
repetitive and monotonous, some therapists have found that
certain games can be of great help for patients needing large or
small motor therapy. It gives patients the benefit of focusing
on fun and therapists a covert method for rebuilding and
enhancing motor skills.

Your family will certainly love a Nintendo Wii System and it
will provide hours of entertainment just like it has for my
family. You can find the Wii at most retailers or online.
