Nintendo Wii Buyers Guide
Nintendos Wii console is a fun console that takes interactive gaming to the next level. This guide is going to focus on the Wii, and give specific hints and tips on buying a Wii and what to do when you have the Wii.
Nintendo Wii Games
Mini Games – The Nintendo Wii comes with several mini games built in. Several of these are sports games which include tennis, boxing, baseball, bowling and golf. There are also fun musical games too. The great thing about these games is that users can practice using the controller and get accustomed to.
Premium Games – Premium Wii games are purchased separately from the console. Typically they retail from £25 - £40. Popular titles include Mario, Zelda, Wario, Mario Kart, Madden 2007, The Simpsons, Resident Evil, Fifa Soccer and so many more.
Nintendo Wii Controllers
The Nintendo Wii has pushed the boundaries of interactive gaming, even releasing a variety of controllers to take advantage of the motion sensor technology Nintendo employs. Some of our favourites include:
Wii Remote controllers – The basic Wii controllers. Pick them up and plug them in, you are ready to play against your friends.
Nunchuk – The Nunchuk plugs directly into Wiimote. It allows the user to control the game with both hands. This has a diverse range of applications, from throwing punches in the boxing game to throwing the ball in Madden 2007. The possibilities with this controller are virtually endless.
Sword and Shield – The Wii Sword and Shield is designed for use with adventure games such as Zelda. With the sword and shield you can really take part in battles whilst users on other platforms are sat with their controllers in their hands.
Wii Baseball Bat – The Wii Baseball bat allows you to take part for real in baseball games. Take a swing with the bat and the motion sensors detect where your swing is in relation to the ball and your game just took on a much more realistic dimension.
Wii Tennis Racket – Ever fancy yourself as the new Roger Federer, Tim Henman or Pete Sampras. You can now prove yourself from the comfort of your living room.
Wii Golf Club – Have you got a swing to rival Tiger Woods? Even if the answer is no you can still enjoy golf in your living room with the Wii Golf Club
Wii Steering Wheel – Any budding Lewis Hamiltons please step forward. The Nintendo Wii steering wheel offers endless F1 fun.
Should I buy a Console alone or in a multi games pack?
This is always a tricky question. An easier way to look at is to work out the games you would like in your collection, and see if a good deal exists that allows you to get these and receive a large discount on the package. If so go for it. Be sure to avoid the trap of taking games you will not like just because they are cheaper or part of a deal. This will reduce your fun in the long run.
