Thread: NINTENDO Wii

When the console was still in its design phase, Nintendo called it by its codename, "Revolution."After trying it, we better understand this term, the Japanese manufacturer has chosen to revisit the full industry standard video game. The first of these revolutions came from his original design. The sobriety of his classy little chassis differentiates it clearly from its competitors Sony and Microsoft, less distinguished and more massive. But his greatest originality is its handle!And besides, there are two, the Wiimote and Nunchuk, sensitive to your movements, which allow for unparalleled immersion course in each game, you will not succeed the first time. Prior to a score, we must first train. But once you have the knack and thrills!

Sold € 250, Nintendo Wii comes with Wii Sports, a Wii Remote and Nunchuk. In the history of video games, there have been few consoles launched an attractive price. Especially since Wii Sports includes 5 mini-games that demonstrate all the capabilities of the console: Baseball, Bowling, Golf, Tennis and Boxing. Each subject can manipulate the Wiimote in all its dimensions, and it is clear that the game is taken quickly if the first steps are tentative, it soon becomes clear that it is necessary to carry on with the Wiimote movements as realistic as possible.



The sensor, which must be placed above or below the TV, far exceeds our expectations. So when we play tennis, located in the Wiimote accelerometer effectively restores the speed and movement of your arm to give the ball spin and direction desired. Obviously, the gesture is not as complete as in a real tennis match, but the essence is there. Another game that we were pleasantly surprised is Wii Boxing. It is played with the Wiimote and Nunchuk connected to one another, each controller is one of your fists. Besides the various legal moves by the system (swing, one-two, etc..), The two levers placed in front of your face or torso serve as protection against attempts by your opponent. Again, the sensitivity of all we were particularly amazed.
