Almost everyone’s heard of the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360’s penchant for hardcore games and amazing graphics capabilities. That leaves most thinking, “What sets the Nintendo Wii apart?”
Well, a lot of things make the Nintendo Wii different (To those familiar with the gaming console, “different” would be an understatement). The units on our penny auction system come with some very unique features, a few of them listed below:
- Instead of the ubiquitous game pad, the Wii takes a different path, using a device that looks a lot like a TV remote.
- It’s the smallest and lightest of the three gaming systems. Measuring at 44.45 x 158.75 x 215.9mm, it’s roughly the same size as three DVD cases.
- The Wii’s biggest edge (if you can call it that) is Wii Sports, an addictive sports game that showcases the Wii’s capabilities without spending money on additional games. Players can use the gaming system’s wireless controller as different sporting equipment, letting users “pretend” they’re playing baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, and boxing. Wii Sports is often packaged along with the console itself, but this depends on the retailer you’re purchasing it from.
- While technically not a feature per se, it’s still worth mentioning that the Nintendo Wii is the cheapest of the big three gaming consoles. This makes it a great addition to non heavy gaming families looking for a fun new activiy without having to shell out that much cash.
Bottom line, the Ninendo Wii boasts of innovative controls and fun gameplay that make for a genuinely entertaining experience the whole family will enjoy. While it may not have the same game library that makes the 360 and PS3 popular today, its relatively affordable price is friendly for non-enthusiasts. The Nintendo Wii is a gaming system every home around the world should have.
