Nintendo Wii Game Console - The Winning Game Solution Wii All Have Been Waiting For by Christian Louis
(Contd. from page 2...)
• The world wide web is reached through the usb and wifi to ethernet adapter.
• In Japan the console will have DVD -Video capabilities. A Sonic Solutions Cine Player CE DVD Navigator software engine will be used in consoles to be released in 2007 with DVD-Video functions.
• The Wii game console has a sensor bar that can be positioned such that the Wii remote can be used as an accurate pointing device from a distance of 5 meters. However the sensor bar¨ is sensitive to halogen lights and sunlight affecting its functions.
With 20 games slated for launch all with motion sensor elements the concept isn't a half hearted affair and in our play with Truma Center, Zelda, Under the Knife, Wii Sports and Excite Truck it's clear that the addition of the controller will certainly make for some good gaming fun - especially when it comes to swashbuckling.
The Wii Wi-Fi service will feature a standard interface like Xbox Live. In much the same way as the Nintendo DS hand held does, the Wii utilises a Friend Code system. In this case there is one code for each console.
