All About Nintendo Wii
The Nintendo Wii is the 7th generation console released by Nintendo. It has considerably lesser graphical juice compared to XBOX 360 and the Sony PS3 but aims to capture the fun of gaming through the games and creative use of both its motion sensor controller - the WiiMote and Nunchuk.
Currently, there is 3 version of the consoles, NSTC/UC, NSTC/JP and PAL. The games are region locked so becareful which version you buy. There are rumours of an Asian release but no updates on that yet.
The SRP for the Wii in other countries are US$250, A$400 and 25000 Yen. In Malaysia, the price can range from RM1,700 to RM2,000.
The Wii is Wifi-enabled where you can shop via the WiiShop or connect to friends via WiiConnect24. It is also able to connect wirelessly with your Nintendo DS but at launch, this feature is still being worked on.
