Wii features separate this system from the other gaming systems
If you are a videogame player, you are more than likely aware of the fact that Wii features are shaking up the gaming world in the same way Sega Genesis did over a decade ago. The dramatic affect that the features of this gaming system have had to this industry will probably not be truly known until after the next few years. Each and every system on the market is going to have to take a good look at itself and decide how to compete with the Nintendo Wii.
The one Wii feature that everyone is talking about is of course the Wii remote. There is nothing else like it out there as it has a sensor device which allows your character onscreen to react to your movement. It provides a gaming experience that the other systems simply cannot match. While the Nintendo Wii is loaded with special features, this is what makes the system far superior to anything else on the market.
All of the newer systems have their own channel network that is linked to the Internet. This channel will usually enable you to create an avatar, go shopping and communicate with friends. Nintendo Wii does all this, but takes it to the next level. Instead of just having an avatar, you have a Mii. CU need character a unique time scratch and can literally make it look like just about anything you want. The most incredible part about this feature is that there are games that will actually allow you use this character in gameplay. It is simply unheard of.

It has the ability to allow you to play games from all of the other previous Nintendo gaming systems.

This is what makes the virtual console so unique in that all of the Nintendo gaming systems are completely different design, yet you can play all their games on the Nintendo Wii.
The hardware on the Wii system is about as good as it gets. You are treated to a DVD drive, 512 MB of internal memory, two USB ports, GameCube ports, but one of the main features built into the hardware is WiiConnect24.

I merely having the game in standby mode you can utilize this feature.
The fact of the matter is, Wii is going to stand the gaming industry on its head. People are already sorry that they have purchased the new Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 systems as Wii seems to be able to allow you experience gaming in a way that these other systems cannot come close to approaching.
