The '''Nintendo Wii''' is a video game console launched on November 2006 and has sold 50 million units worldwide. Its major selling point is the inclusion of motion sensitive controllers the '''Wiimote''' and '''Nunchuk'''. That ability is to ''swing'' at golf, ''throw'' a bowling ball, and ''punch'' with boxing provides the virtual game challenge experience. It is a physical experience and provides good cardiovascular movements. Recently, Nintendo has introduced the ''[[Wii Fit]]'' title along with it a [[Wii Balance Board]]. This extended functionality allows the user to do [[yoga]], ski, hula-hoop, hit soccer balls with their head, and strength training. In 2012, the console received a successor, the [[Wii U]], which has a controller with a touch screen, like a tablet. It is backward compatible with Wii games.
