Nintendo Wii
Controls: Intuitive control for anyone using the physical motion of
the main Wii Remote, which resembles a television remote control.
Up to four Wii Remotes can be connected at once using wireless
Bluetooth technology. The wireless signal can be detected within 10
meters of the console. Both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers
include a three-axis motion sensor. The Wii Remote also includes a
speaker, rumble feature and expansion port, and can be used as a
pointer within 5 meters of the screen. The Wii Remote has a power
switch, plus pad, A, B, Minus, Home, 1 and 2 buttons. The Nunchuk
controller includes an analog control stick and C and Z buttons.
The Look: Wii features a compact design that will make it a natural
addition to any television setup. It can be displayed either
vertically or horizontally. Media: A single self-loading media bay
will play single- or double-layered 12-centimeter optical discs for
Wii, as well as 8-centimeter Nintendo GameCube discs.
Communication: Wii can communicate with the Internet even when the
power is turned off. This WiiConnect24 service delivers a new
surprise or game update, even if users do not play with Wii. Users
can connect wirelessly using IEEE 802.11b/g, or with a USB 2.0 LAN
adaptor. Wii also can communicate wirelessly with Nintendo DS.
Virtual Console: Wii will have downloadable access to 20 years of
fan-favorite titles originally released for Nintendo 64, the Super
Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and even the Nintendo
Entertainment System (NES). The Virtual Console also will feature a
"best of" selection from Sega Genesis titles and games from the
TurboGrafx console (a system jointly developed by NEC and Hudson).
It also will be home to new games conceived by indie developers
whose creativity is larger than their budgets. The Specs: Wii
boasts 512 megabytes of internal flash memory, two USB 2.0 ports
and built-in Wi-Fi capability. A bay for an SD memory card will let
players expand the internal flash memory. Design was optimized with
state-of-the-art processing technologies that minimize power
consumption, keep the console compact and enable the "sleepless"
WiiConnect24 mode. CPU: PowerPC CPU (code-named "Broadway"). Made
with a 90 nm SOI CMOS process, jointly developed with and
manufactured by IBM. More Products from this Supplier
