Game consoles have evolved from the 2D graphics to the real life looking 3D graphics. As usual the leading brands are off for the title for the best gaming system to date. Like the evolution of video games, fanatics have changed its perception on how games should be and how it should be played.

Nintendo Wii is the latest game console from the famous company who brought us the unforgettable Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Since then, they were not that successful in getting ahead of the competitors with their Nintendo 64, which only gained audience from die hard fans of the company. With the hope of getting back the title, Nintendo Wii is now tested against the Xbox 360 of Microsoft and the PS3 of Sony.

Wii is more focused on finding ways to make gaming more exciting by making new add-ons to the system. Aside from its joystick you can buy an exercise matt, baseball club and other items to add on to your gaming experience.

Nintendo Wii: The Origins

The Nintendo Wii is the fifth video gaming console that Nintendo released. It has a wireless controller that can be used as a handheld pointing device and can detect acceleration and orientation in three dimensions. The Wii also features WiiConnect24, which enables users to receive messages and updates through the Internet while in stand-by mode. Although the Wii is more known as Nintendo Wii, the console’s name is simply just Wii, which is meant to be pronounced as ‘we’ to emphasize that the gaming console is good enough for everybody, and is spelled with two i’s to resemble two persons standing next to each other.

The Wii was originally named Revolution, but the makers thought that the old name was too long and was hard to pronounce and they wanted something short and to the point, and that’s how the name ‘Wii’ was conceptualized.

The Wii may have won several awards, but that doesn’t mean that it’s safe from users’ criticizing reviews. If you are a user, you would want whatever you are using to be as convenient as possible. Even though the wireless remote is cool to the ordinary mind, it’s not as cool when you learn that you have to replace the batteries every now and then like all the other remote controllers in your house. And unlike the other gaming consoles, the Wii can’t play CDs and DVDs.

Even though the Wii is not as graphically powerful as the other consoles, its combination of unique controllers and fun gameplay make the affordable console very hard to resist. And to shop for the Wii with the best prices you can find, go here at BundleWiiPod.com

Wii History

History

The console was conceived in the year 2001, as the Nintendo Game Cube was first released. According to Nintendo's game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, in an interview, the concept involved was focusing on a new ways of player interactivity. They have agreed that the processing power is not everything for a game console. There just can't be too many powerful game console at a time. It's like having only ferocious prehistoric dinosaurs. The competition will be fierce and that would hasten their own extinction."

Two years gone by, designers and engineers were assembled together to further develop the new game console concept. In the year 2005, the controller interface had taken form, but a public exhibition at that year's expo was not made. Miyamoto explained that they still have to do some troubleshooting. So, they decided not to reveal the controller and instead only displayed the game console. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata later presented and demonstrated the Wii Remote at the September Tokyo Game Show.

The Nintendo DS is said to have influenced the Wii design. Designer Ken'ichiro Ashida noted, we had the DS as a reference while working on the Wii. We thought about cloning the DS's touch-screen panel interface and even came up with a prototype. The idea was eventually discarded. Miyamoto also expressed that, if the DS had not succeeded, we might have taken the Wii back to the drawing board.

Name

The console was known earlier by the code name of "Revolution" until April 27, 2006, immediately prior to E3. Nintendo Style Guide put it that the name is simply Wii and not Nintendo Wii. This means that it is the first home console Nintendo is selling outside of Japan without the company trademark name. While "Wiis" is a commonly used pluralization of the console, Nintendo has reiterated that the official plural form is "Wii game systems" or "Wii game consoles." Nintendo spells "Wii" with two lower case letter "i" meant to represent players gathering together, likewise representing two people standing side by side, as well as to represent the game console's non-conventional controllers. "Live with it, Sleep with it, Eat with it, Move along with it" has become the Wii's mantra.
