wii!!!!!!

Just a while ago, nintendo announced the official name for their new game consel- the nintendo wii. This is not the first of the next generation gaming systems to be announced, but it's definitely the coolest.

The most obvious reason for this is the new controller design- innovatively motion sensitive to make people get a little more exercise while playing nintendo. This new controller can be aimed at the screen like a gun for shooting games, swung like a sword, bat, or golf club, or tilted to turn in racing games, like many of us do anyway, except now it will actually do something.

Another reason that the wii is so cool is that, like the xbox or playstation, it has online playing capabilities, but unlike the xbox or playstation, online play is completely free. no further explanation necessary.

These aren't the only cool things about the new nintendo. It also has an online archive of NES, SNES, and Nintendo 64 games to be downloaded to it, and has the capability to play gamecube games, a feature which costs about 200 dollars extra on the xbox 360. One more great thing about the wii is it's design. It's obviously taken it's cues from apple, going with a very simple, white, aesthetically pleasing design. Smart move.

Overall, While the wii does have a strange name, it's definitely got a step up on the competition. yup. nintendo's still got it.
