**Top Wii Nintendo Game News**

 

The Nintendo Wii is the latest console to hit the market. What this console lacks in power, performance and features compared to the PS3 and Xbox 360, it more than makes up for with originality and innovation. The Wii’s motion sensitive remote controller allows you to play games such as tennis, golf and baseball as if you actually had the racket, club or bat in your hand. The beauty of this console is that it manages to target all audiences - from your hardcore gamers to your casual gamers; this console is fun for the whole family. The Wii’s price tag is also the lowest of the three consoles and I think this will prove to be the knock-out punch in a closely fought fight between the consoles.
 
The Nintendo Wii boasts the ability to play GameCube titles along with a wide range of NES, SNES and N64 games via the Virtual Console download service. In addition to the console and Wii Sports (a compilation of games including tennis, golf, bowling, baseball, and boxing), the Wii will have power and A/V cables, one Wii Remote, one Nunchuk controller, and one remote sensor. Extra Wii Remotes will sell for $40 and Nunchuk controllers will sell for $20.
