Wii Console with Mario Kart Wii Bundle - Black
The Wii Remote Plus controller is the standard
wireless controller that ships with each Wii. It combines the intuitive motion
controls of the original Wii Remote with the precision technology of the Wii
MotionPlus accessory, all built-in to a single unit. The device is handled in a
wand-like fashion, and uses internal gyroscope and accelerometer technology to
pinpoint the players movements and physical positioning which it then relates
into a game via a sensor bar connected to the console. The Wii Remote Plus has
only a few buttons making it easy to use. It also contains a speaker, a rumble
feature, and an external connector for other input devices like the Nunchuk
controller and the Classic Controller.
Online Play and Funcionality
WiiWare is a service that allows Wii players to
download games and applications directly to their Wii console in exchange for
purchased Wii Points on the Wii Shop Channel. Online gameplay requires a code
to play. It's free to play and there are no names, so kids are protected
against unwanted contact. Through Wii's online component players can also gain
access to hundreds of classic arcade games available for download through Wii's
Virtual Console functionality. The Nintendo Channel allows players to watch gameplay
videos, trailers, developer interviews, and even download Nintendo DS game
demos wirelessly. Additional Wii online functionality includes a web browser
and connectivity with Netflix,* which allows users to stream video efficiently
and quietly by means of the console's low energy consumption internal
processing.
