Review of Nintendo Wii
Nintendo had to leave the path of the new system, and the company knows it. Despite the fact that the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 both emphasize their impressive graphical capabilities, Nintendo remains the importance of graphics on its new console. While Sony and Microsoft consoles, trademarks of their respective predecessors, the Wii is a strange name semantic departure from Nintendo more literally named 2001 console, GameCube. And while the PS3 and Xbox 360 as usual Corona playing with buttons, control sticks, and lines of pads, the Wii is a device that looks like a TV remote control to play their game.
This is strange choices could have lost the last Nintendo effort. Downplaying processing power, with a strange new controller of the institution, and that the whole package an odd name could have a big error Nintendo. (Some of these companies in the previous experiments, with respect to grain: Power Glove or Virtual Boy.) But if our first experience with the Wii-an indication that Nintendo games seem to bear fruit. It is interesting, it is new and is not as powerful as its competitors, Nintendo Wii, but the success in its primary task: it is not absurd, just fun.

On the Wii box includes everything needed to connect to the standard TV: In the Wii, the wireless adapter Nunchuk controller sensor bar, a bracket (for mounting the console vertically), the modest size of Wii AC adapter and a set of composite AV-cable. Unfortunately, composite cables are not compatible with the Wii in the vanguard of progressive scan resolution of 576p, so that owners of HD-Ready TV also would like to buy a set of Wii component cable (sold separately).
In the Wii console is relatively small - only a very small and light to a new generation of gaming consoles. At 44 mm in height and 159mm wide 216 deep (in the horizontal position), it is - as Nintendo promised - about the size of three DVD cases. The first model is available only in white IPod, but it's safe to bet we'll see a lot of other colors are available in the coming years. As with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Wii could be a position vertically or horizontally (or themselves, or, for greater stability, even through the plastic). As for the PS3, then Wii is a slot-loading mechanism. Accepted Wii discs (12 cm) and GameCube discs (mini 8 cm), without the need for an adapter.
On the Wii includes 512 internal memory for storing saved games, downloaded Virtual Console titles and other data. If a half GB of memory on board is not enough for you, this system has a standard Secure Digital card slot for additional storage. SD cards and a lot cheaper on Wii and maintaining a refreshing change of ownership in the memory card provided in the major game consoles.
Even if we do not have a memory card or component video cables, Wii, a pleasant surprise in a box. The system comes with Wii Sports, a simple but infectious sports compilation that allows users to get the impression of a Wii without the possibility of investing in other games. Wii Sports uses the wireless from the old system, such as sports teams, and users prefer to play the swing model baseball, tennis, golf, bowling and boxing.
Different games can have up to four players simultaneously, but most of more than one controller multiplayer options. The player can set the distance back and forth for golf and bowling, but players want to box or play together in a tennis game or a baseball game to purchase at least one driver. Wii Sports feels more like a set of five mini-games, as the body in the title, but which allows users to get pleasure out of the box and shows the potential of this system.
Setting
At the Wii simple design makes it easy to connect. In the rear of the console has only five ports: one for the network adapter, audio video cable for the property, one for the sensor bar, and two USB ports for future accessories. Just plug and put the sensor bar, or above or below your TV, VCR, connect the cable to your TV and connect the cable to the wall, and you're ready to go.
If everything is connected, just on the Wii via the configuration software. Parameters such as time and user name can be selected with the remote pointer. The only remotely technical setting most users have a network connection, and the menu system practically walks users through the setup. On the Wii Wi-Fi connection can be used with WEP and WPA encrypted Wi-Fi networks, so you do not need to make the network vulnerable just to play online. We had no problems connecting to our open wireless router, even if we did not test the network connection for that. If you do not have Wi-Fi at all, he said that Nintendo offers Ethernet adapter with USB-port interface. While the Nintendo servers were not ready at the time of the review, we will continue our assessment of this function as soon as possible to go online.
