Wii features separate this system from the other gaming systems

By Ernest Ibellez

Unless you have been sleeping under a rock, you should be aware of the Wii gaming system from Nintendo. Wii features some of the most unique advances in video games that we have seen in quite some time. If you haven't yet tried it, you will probably run out to the store by the time you finish reading this.

The feature that sets this game system apart from all the others is the unique Wii remote control. This control has the unbelievable ability to actually make the player a part of the game. While you usually will just sit on the couch and work the joystick, that is not possible with the Wii system. You will find yourself standing in the middle of your living room emulating the movements of the character to get the best performance out of this game. There is no other gaming system that can give you this experience.

While every system has a network of channels, they are not quite like Wii channels. You start out on the Mii Channel which allows you to create not just an avatar, but a Mii. You can create this character in any fashion that you choose, in fact can create 100 of them! That is not where the uniqueness tops on this feature though, you are actually able to take this character and insert it into gameplay on certain games. There is simply not another system that allows you to do this.

With the Wii Channels the whole family will have a variety of entertainment and information to choose from. You can watch trailers and mini documentaries, play your favorite games. You have the chance to answer popular questions in national and world wide polls. You can even check local, national and international news and weather.

Something else that is very unique to Wii is the virtual console. Along with the remote, this was considered to be one of the more attractive features of this gaming system. Virtual console allows you to play older games from previous Nintendo systems on the Wii. When you think about it, this is absolutely incredible as there is a dramatic difference in just about every gaming system and Nintendo has ever produced.

As I am sure you know, most modern game systems are pretty much another computer system for the household. They all allow you to do things like connect to the Internet and not have to use a memory card anymore, but none of them take the hardware to the level that the Nintendo Wii does. You get 512 MB of internal memory, into ports, two USB ports and a DVD drive. An added feature is the WiiConnect24 that allows the game to constantly receive updates and game content as long as it is in standby mode.

Plain and simple, the Nintendo Wii is absolutely packed with features and has to be considered the premier gaming console in the market today. Playing the system is an experience that is second to none.
