The '''Nintendo Wii''' is a video game console launched on November 2006 and has sold millions 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, and ''punch'' with boxing thereby providing the virtual game challenge. Since your fingers are not operating a game controller like all previous platforms to date this truly becomes a next generation console. It is a physical experience and provides good cardiovascular movements. Recently, Nintendo has introduced the Wii ''"Fit"'' title along with it a balance board. This extended functionality allows the user to ski, hoola-hoop, hit soccer balls with your head, yoga, and strength training. In July 2009, the ''"Wiimote"'' received a boost of improved sensitivity by device extension. Range of motion games with the Wii Resort package include canoe races and ping-pong. The console is truly backwards compatible allowing games of previous Nintendo consoles to play on the Wii, such as GameCube games. Popular games for Wii include [[Wii Sports]], Super Smash Brothers Brawl,

Nintendo has always stuck to [[family-friendly]] entertainment. The consoles from [[Microsoft]] and [[Sony]] have much more detailed, hi-resolution images with plenty of blood-and-guts games. By comparison, of the tens-of-hundreds of games available from Nintendo, only two Wii games have mature PG17 content. In addition, Nintendo has drawn-in millions of new ''gamers'' who would not have stepped into the experience if it were not for the Wii. Women, elderly men, children have an easy time grasping the simplified means of operating the console. It is not uncommon to find these consoles in use at pubs, conventions, holiday gatherings, for hospital physical therapy, the gym and more. The design is roughly the size of a external DVD player making it highly portable.
