A Simple Guide To What's Available On The Nintendo Wii by Kristi Ambrose
For those of you who haven't heard of the Wii, I gotta ask, where the heck have you been?!? This incredibly hot and incredibly innovative gaming system made its debut just about the time Microsoft's Xbox hit the shelves, but what makes this system so popular is that it integrates virtual reality in your very own living room! In addition, Nintendo's dedication to producing gaming material for the whole household as opposed to the complex games that we have on the marketplace (for other systems) now. The Wii System. Welcome back to family fun with this console. For only $249, the entire family can enjoy time's treasured games and physically interact with them using Nintendo's unique wrist-strapped controller. Anyone at any skill level can get in on the fun with this new machine and it comes with a free Wii Sports game cartridge.
If you are still pretty old school (which most of us are) you can still use the classic controller and they only cost like $20. Really if I'm going to buy a system for $200 or more, I'm going to use the paddles and remotes that come with it so I can really get the whole feeling for all of it. But hey, if you don't want to, then don't, party pooper! The Wii remote costs around $40 and then nun chuck/gun runs at about $20. So it's not like this stuff is super expensive or any more expensive than the other gaming systems.
All that playing could justify the buy of the Wii Air cooler ($14.99) or the Wii Charger Station ($29.99). And you certainly don't want to stop a game without preserving your place! You can buy a 1GB SD Memory card ($39.99) or 2 GB SD memory card ($59.99) made by SanDisk, and pick up the merriment where you left off at a later time! To make sure your Wii console fits snuggly into the back of your TV, you can purchase a pack of Wii Component transmission lines for $29.99.
Want Wii Games? Try the following ones out for size! Remember to always check the ratings for games so you don't accidentally buy little Johnny who is 8 a game that is meant for an adult because that just isn't good!
Metric Prime 3 -The war initiated by Dark Samus and the Space Pirates rages across numerous planets as they set about to corrupt each with Phazon seeds.

Eventually, players must take down Samus' mortal enemy, Dark Samus. Besides using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to pull off amazing feats like aiming and blasting in midair or at a full run, players also will have an array of different artilleries at their disposition.

Other gaming consoles by the ever popular Nintendo include the following:
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System was Nintendo's second home console, following the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The console introduced advanced graphics and sound capabilities that compensated for its relatively slow CPU, compared with other consoles at the time. Additionally, development of a variety of enhancement chips (which shipped as part of certain game cartridges) helped to keep it competitive in the marketplace.
The Nintendo 64 often abbreviated as N64, is Nintendo's third home video game console for the international market. Named for its 64-bit GPU, it was released on June 23 1996 in Japan, September 29 1996 in North America, March 1 1997 in Europe and Australia, September 1 1997 in France and December 10 1997 in Brazil. It is Nintendo's last home console to use cartridges to store games (Nintendo switched to a proprietary optical format for the GameCube, then to standard DVD-sized media for Wii), and for being the first modern home console to have a controller with an analog stick.
The Nintendo GameCube, often abbreviated as GCN, is Nintendo's fourth home video game console and is part of the sixth generation console era. The hardware system is the most compact, and second-cheapest after Sega's Dreamcast, of the sixth generation. It is the successor to the Nintendo 64 and predecessor to Nintendo's Wii. The console was released on September 14, 2001 in Japan, November 18, 2001 in North America, May 3, 2002 in Europe, and May 17, 2002 in Australia. The GameCube sold 21.74 million units worldwide.
The Nintendo DS Lite is a dual-screen handheld game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo. It is a slimmer, brighter, and more lightweight redesign of the Nintendo DS, designed to be aesthetically sleeker while taking styling cues from the Game Boy Advance SP, and to appeal to broader commercial audiences. It was announced on January 26, 2006, more than a month before its initial release in Japan on March 2, 2006 due to overwhelming demand for the original model. It has been released in Australia, North America, Europe, New Zealand, Singapore, and defined regions in South America, the Middle East, and East Asia. As of September 30, 2008, sales of the DS Lite have reached 65.51 million units worldwide, according to Nintendo.
