The price includes one wireless Wii Remote controller, one Nunchuk controller and the collection of five different Wii Sports games on one disc.
Every Wii console includes a series of on-screen "channels" that make up the Wii Channel Menu, a the starting point for all of the console's functions. When connected to a TV, the Wii Channel Menu offers a simple interface, letting users pick games to play, get news or weather, view and send photos or create playable caricatures of themselves to use in actual games.
Additional functions allow users to redeem Wii Points and download classic games to Wii's Virtual Console.
Wii also has a unique controller whose position can be detected in 3-D space. The new controller allows users to pinpoint targets in games. according to Nintendo, the control system is intuitive and will be understood immediately by everyone, regardless of their previous experience with video games.
For example, in the Wii Sports tennis game, players swing the Wii Remote like a racket to hit the ball, as in real life. They can add topspin or slice the ball by angling their hands and wrist like they would in a real match.
"Wii reinvents games for the devoted player," says Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "But more importantly, Wii breaks the wall separating players from non-players by delivering the best game experiences for the most affordable price. We believe the next leap is games for the masses -- young and old, gamer or non, alone, with a friend or with the whole family."
