If you are a videogame player, you are more than likely aware of the fact that Wii features are shaking up the gaming world in the same way Sega Genesis did over a decade ago. The dramatic affect that the features of this gaming system have had to this industry will probably not be truly known until after the next few years. Each and every system on the market is going to have to take a good look at itself and decide how to compete with the Nintendo Wii.
One of the most remarkable Wii features is the Wii remote. It is the first of its kind, as it will allow the player of the game to control the motion on the screen by actually moving the remote. This allows the game player to become more involved in the game and creates a better all-around gaming experience. While this gaming system is loaded with plenty of other premium features, this is far and away one of the more attractive things about the system.
All of the newer systems have their own channel network that is linked to the Internet. This channel will usually enable you to create an avatar, go shopping and communicate with friends. Nintendo Wii does all this, but takes it to the next level. Instead of just having an avatar, you have a Mii. CU need character a unique time scratch and can literally make it look like just about anything you want. The most incredible part about this feature is that there are games that will actually allow you use this character in gameplay. It is simply unheard of.
The whole family will enjoy Wii Channels, since there is a variety of entertainment and information to choose from. Anyone can watch mini documentaries, trailers or play their favorite game, or even participate in national and international polls answering the questions they like. There even is a Channel where you can keep up to date about your local, national, and international news and weather.

While the remote control seems to be getting all the press these days, the virtual console was initially upset the system apart from all the others. It has the ability to allow you to play games from all of the other previous Nintendo gaming systems. While the other gaming systems will lie you play games on older versions of that system, you cannot play games from systems that are completely different. This is what makes the virtual console so unique in that all of the Nintendo gaming systems are completely different design, yet you can play all their games on the Nintendo Wii.
As I am sure you know, most modern game systems are pretty much another computer system for the household. They all allow you to do things like connect to the Internet and not have to use a memory card anymore, but none of them take the hardware to the level that the Nintendo Wii does. You get 512 MB of internal memory, into ports, two USB ports and a DVD drive. An added feature is the WiiConnect24 that allows the game to constantly receive updates and game content as long as it is in standby mode.
If you can find any gaming system that delivers what the Nintendo Wii does with all the Wii features, you must be living on another planet. To this day, there is no better experience that a gamer could have been hooking up their Nintendo Wii and diving into the action.
