Nintendo Wii Video Games

The Nintendo Wii video game system is one of the most popular video game systems on the market and also one of the most affordable as well.  When playing the Wii not only do you have to push buttons on the controller like most video games, you also have to swing it, wave it, or whatever motion you may need to use to play golf, baseball, bowling or many other types of games that that Nintendo Wii offers.

The Wii also has a game called the Wii fit that you can purchase, that has a workout pad to get you in shape while enjoying the fun of a video game. Some of the other features that the Wii boasts is a 512 MBs of internal flash memory, two USB 2.0 ports, and a slot for SD memory expansion. The system’s technological heart, a processing chip developed with IBM and code-named “Broadway” and a graphics chipset from ATI code-named “Hollywood” — deliver stunning performance. And instead of a tray, Wii uses a single, self-loading media bay that plays both 12-centimeter optical discs used for the new system, as well as Nintendo GameCube discs.  These features have helped Nintendo and the Wii stay popular and will make them a leader in the video game industry for a long long time.

When the Nintendo Wii video game console hit the market in late 2006, it revolutionized gaming. It didn’t try to compete head to head with the other top video game consoles. Instead, the Wii focused on ease of use and the fun side of gaming. So what’s the appeal?

Well, first off it’s priced affordably as compared to the other two top gaming consoles. New games are also priced reasonably.

Secondly and maybe more importantly, it doesn’t intimidate the casual gamer. It doesn’t matter whether you are an experienced gamer or someone who has never played a video game. Within a very short period of time anyone can be playing and having a great time with this system.

The Nintendo Wii uses a motion-sensing controller to play Wii games. Whether it’s swinging a tennis racket in “Wii Sports”, steering trucks in “Excite Trucks” or slashing with a sword in “The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess”, there is something to appeal to almost anyone.

With the Wii, you can play the full line-up of your favorite Nintendo games from the past. It is backward compatible with GameCube and also features Nintendo’s Virtual Console. With Virtual Console you can download games from older generation systems at a reasonable price. The Nintendo Wii video game console is here to stay, judging by its ever-increasing popularity.

Nintendo Wii Video Games + Exercise = Good Health

By F Cheshire

Nintendo Wii video games and good health? In the past video games have been synonymous with a sedentary lifestyle. You know the bad rap video games get from parents who complain that their kids spend too much time playing mind numbing games and not enough time romping around getting physical exercise. Such video game brats grow up to be video game addicted teen agers that spend endless amounts of time into the wee (not wii) hours of the morning practicing their craft. Video game teen agers grow up into couch potato 20 and 30 year olds that many times lack social skills because all of their time is spent playing video games.

Nintendo wii video games change all of this. It has changed the minds of parents, health professionals, doctors and physical therapists around the world? Simply by combining the fun and skill of video games that are played on the TV with the exercising of the actual muscles required to play the games if you were playing them outside and in person.

Imagine if you will, standing at the front of a bowling ball lane. You wipe the sweat from your brow as you decide how you are going to throw the ball to pick up the spare. Your team mates are absolutely quiet as they do not want to break your concentration as you get into the “zone”. You slowly begin to walk, then you drop the ball to your side as you pick up the pace until you release the ball and watch it roll down the lane until it strikes the remaining pins. You not only pick up the “save” but you win the admiration of your team mates as they give you the old “high-five” in recognition of your skills.

A bit far fetched? The Nintendo wii technology really mimics your every move as you see yourself (or your Nintendo self) on the big screen reenact every move you make. Even senior citizens that live in assisted living facilities are enjoying the exercise benefits that wii brings. Perhaps you think of a bunch of old people sitting around in wheel chairs looking completely listless and devoid of life. This assisted living facility has put together wii bowling leagues where many of the team players are actually in wheel chairs. If you think playing wii on your TV is fun, then you need to try it on a 110″ movie screen! Life size virtual sports will make anyone a believer! Why not set the goal of getting in shape, by exercising and losing weight by playing Nintendo wii video games with your family.
