Wii offers a variety of accessible control methods that provide all-new gameplay experiences. From the revolutionary Wii Remote to the upcoming Wii Balance Board, these accessories will get you into the game like never before.
The Wii Remote is the Wii console's revolutionary controller. It contains a built-in motion sensor and communicates wirelessly with the Sensor Bar for unprecedented precision and ease of use. It also has a rumble feature and a built-in speaker to immerse you even more in your favourite games.
One Wii Remote comes with every Wii console. The game Wii Play also comes bundled with a Wii Remote.
The Wii Remote is powered by two AA batteries (included). Use only high quality alkaline batteries for the best game play experience and longevity of battery life.
Enjoy Virtual Console games the way they were meant to be played. The Classic Controller blends design elements from Nintendo's classic video game controllers, such as the NES, Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64, into one comfortable control pad.
The Classic Controller is connected to the Wii Remote by a short cable. The Wii Remote provides the Controller with a wireless connection to the Wii console.
The Classic Controller is primarily used for playing Virtual Console games available for download from the Wii Shop Channel. Some Wii Disc games also use the Classic Controller. Look on the back of Wii game packaging to see which games are compatible.
The active-play phenomenon started by Wii Sports now spreads to your whole body thanks to the pressure-sensitive Wii Balance Board, which comes packed with Wii Fit (to be released in 2008). The board is used for an extensive array of fun and dynamic activities, including aerobics, yoga, muscle stretches and games.
The Wii Component Cable links your Wii console to your TV, allowing you to view and enjoy your games with the best possible image display.
Component video splits the signal into three separate channels of video information for the ultimate connection quality.
The cable includes five connectors - three for video, and two for left and right stereo audio. Cable length is approximately 2.5 metres.
Before using the Wii Component Cable, make sure your TV can accept component video connections - they are usually marked Y, PB, PR and are coloured green, blue and red.
The Wii Points Card offers another way to obtain Wii Points. Instead of buying Wii Points online through the Wii Shop Channel, you can purchase a Wii Points card from retailers.
Each card has a scratch-off panel revealing an activation code that you input in the Wii Shop Channel to redeem your points.
Wii Points can be redeemed in the Wii Shop Channel to make online purchases such as downloadable Virtual Console games.
The Nunchuk is a Wii Remote accessory that gives an additional means of control in Nunchuk-compatible games. By connecting the Nunchuk to the Wii Remote you can benefit from its extra buttons, analogue joystick and motion-sensing controls.
With a Wii Remote in one hand and Nunchuk in the other, you have a new level of control. For instance in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the Wii Remote is your sword while the Nunchuk is your shield.
One Nunchuk comes with every Wii console.
This new accessory combines the accuracy of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in a single housing for a new experience for first-person shooters and targeting games. Players can hear the sounds of battle through the Wii Remote speaker when it is incorporated into the Wii Zapper. It will arrive on store shelves packaged with Nintendo-developed software that shows off its versatility.
Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus accessory redefines game control by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space.
The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion.
Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play.
The Wii MotionPlus accessory will be bundled with Wii Sports Resort, which is slated for release in 2009.
The Wii RGB Cable links your Wii console to your TV, allowing you to view and enjoy your games with an enhanced image display.
RGB video splits the signal into three separate channels of video information for improved connection quality. The cable includes a Euro AV plug (SCART) for video and stereo audio output. Cable length is approximately 2.5 metres.
Before using the Wii RGB Cable, make sure your TV has a Euro AV terminal (SCART) that accepts RGB input.
Wii connects to the Internet wirelessly; however if you do not have a wireless Internet connection, the Wii LAN Adapter allows you to connect your Wii console to the Internet via a LAN cable connection.
The Wii LAN Adapter connects to one of the two USB ports on the rear of the Wii console, providing a connection point for a LAN cable (sold separately) leading to your broadband modem.
By connecting Wii to the Internet you can benefit from downloadable Virtual Console games via the Wii Shop Channel, news and weather updates in the News and Forecast Channels, and messaging functions in the Wii Message Board.
