The Nintendo Wii Compared
It is true that the release of PS2 and Xbox has increased greatly the expectations of the game lovers all over the world. The application of technology has indeed made gaming consoles a favorite pastime of millions across the globe. The Nintedo Wii fully rises to the expectations of the people who were looking forward after reading the press releases about it. As it is, the Game Cube, its predecessor has already made a rock hard place in the hearts of the gaming crowd.
The Nintedo Wii (pronounced as 'we') looks great! It has a very sleek, rectangular-shaped box, which comes in a multitude of colors. Its slot receiver has a blue LED that adds to its attractiveness. The best thing about Nintedo Wii (and what is expected of today's technology) is that it is exceedingly simple, in spite of the fact that it has more features than any game console available today. This compared great to the somewhat flashy Xbox 360, which is quite intimating in its looks and functionality.
The Nintedo Wii does not come only with good looks, but also great features. In fact, as I mentioned earlier, this could very easily be the best there is yet in the market. The Nintedo Wii delivers well on its promise to give its fans a totally novel and exciting gaming experience. The innovation has come in the form of a seemingly ordinary remote controller – which actually features a motion sensor, which highly improves the feel and effect of the games it controls. This is particularly true to the all-time favorite games such as Zelda the Twilight Princess, which comes alive with this motion sensor remote control.
The hardware of the Nintedo Wii is as impressive as its all other features. It works on an IBM CPU (512MB) and ATI graphics card. It has two USB ports and wireless controllers as well as wi-fi inbuilt antenna for direct Internet connectivity. A little hitch comes with its inability to project on HD, but it can give you a manageable output on HDTV mainly because Nintedo Wii comes with a 480p progressive scan feature.
Though the Playstation is a futuristic model – some reports have mentioned that it guarantees compatibility with all present and future TV sets – the Nintedo Wii does not severe it backward links. You can use it with the old versions including retro games. Wow!
To summarize, the Nintedo Wii gives you all that you wanted ever in a gaming play station and much more. The wireless connectivity, the fact that it enables you to download directly games from the net, and its compatibility to all types of TV sets and old version games and its portability (it is minuscule when it comes to size – the smallest yet play station) makes it a gold mine for any game lover.
Look at the above paragraph and as you realize the amazing features it offers you – you will appreciate much better its affordability. The Nintedo Wii comes at a sensational and unbeatable price, which ironically make it even more priceless.
