Nintendo Wii
Featuring a remarkable wireless controller and experience, the Nintendo Wii console invites players into game worlds and activities like never before. Whether they're young or old, expert gamers or beginners, Wii players will express themselves with intuitive motion control using the Wii Remote: a flick of the wrist to to swing a baseball bat or tennis racket, a backswing and follow-through to send a golf ball flying over a pristine fairway. Wii Sports, packaged with the Wii console, introduces players to those and many other experiences. Wii also taps into Nintendo's unrivaled legacy of great games with the Virtual Console. Connecting via wireless broadband to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Wii owners will be able to spend Virtual Console points to download selected classic games from NES, Super NES and N64 video game consoles. And through Wii Connect24, owners will be able to access even more content. Four-player compatibility as well as the ability to compete with other Wii players over broadband internet means that Wii offers a true social experience. The sleek Wii console, no larger than a stack of several DVD cases, includes Wii Sports, a sensor bar, an AV cable, an AC adapter, a Wii stand, a Wii Remote, and a Nunchuk controller for even more exciting game-control possibilities.
Wii Music
Set your inner musician free with the incredible variety of musical options available in Wii Music. Using your Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller, you and up to three friends can band together for awesome jams that go beyond any one musical genre. Give a classical standard a rock beat, punch up folk songs with jazz riffs or infuse Nintendo classics like the Super Mario Bros. theme with a hot Latin beat. In Wii Music, the possibilities are virtually endless.
Compose, conduct and more as you unleash your personal musical stylings. Select any of more than 60 available instruments, including guitar, banjo, congas, jazz drums and marimba, and use your Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller to imitate playing the instrument, with no complex buttons to master. Create unique music with the other members of your band by playing your instruments to the beat of a song or wildly improvising, then watch as your jam recordings are played back with the enhancement of dramatic camera angles. Wave your Wii Remote like a baton to conduct a Mii orchestra, and place your feet on your Wii Balance Board to use it as virtual pedals for the bass drum and hi-hat cymbal. Share your recordings with other friends with Wii Music and help each other hone your musical performances to perfection.
