Wii Remote Controller

February 13th, 2008 Comments(0)

The Wii Remote Controller makes gaming accessible to people of all ages and all abilities. Nintendo fused the familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology — creating a multifunctional device limited only by the imagination. In a tennis game, it serves as a racket you swing with your arm. In a driving game, it serves as your steering wheel. For first-person shooters, the remote acts as your weapon that you point at an enemy. The list of potential uses goes on and on. Features expansion port for additional input devices, such as the Nunchuk controller

To make gaming as accessible to people of all ages and all abilities, Nintendo wanted to create a controller that was as inviting as it was sophisticated- the result is the Wii Remote. Nintendo fused the global familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology to come up with an input device that differentiates the Wii from any other console that has come before it.

I was impressed with the fact that simple remote can do so much! I think it’s important for health resons because it gets your booty up from the couch and makes you move in order to play, hence why so many people say they have lost weight. I do agree with some people that the remote is a bit expensive and very hard to find. That’s why your best bet is to get the game “Wii Play w/ Remote” it runs on 49.99 and comes with an interactive game(Similar to wii sports) compared to what you pay for a regular remote that is a combo for just one price. I was shocked because the remote came with a silicon cover and strap so no need to go look for those. All in all this is the very first video game console in history to use a remote. I love it all!! My wii did come with the remote but I needed a second player.

Why’d I buy it? Because it looked fun.

Good Points: I don’t own a Xbox360, PS3, or reliable PS2 for that matter. Glad this game out for the Wii. The wireless guitar is nice… I can start the system and do everything I need to without taking the Wii-mote out… major bonus points there. Battery life of the remote doesn’t seem affected. It’s definitely fun… and again… nice to remain wireless!

Bad Points: Some people complain because the sound is mono and not stereo. I don’t have a great TV, so this doesn’t bother me any. My only criticism is that you can’t buy JUST another guitar right now without turning to Ebay and crossing your fingers.

Wii Charge Station

Wii Charge Station

From Nyko

Nyko’s Charge Station for Wii is a great wayto save money on batteries. This dock features twin rechargeable battery packs for the Wii Remote — just connect the Wii Remotes and let them sit until you’re ready to play. Charges two Wiimotes at once.

Features

Charge 2 Wii remote at the same time
LED charge indicator lights
Charge one remote while you use the other

I am a big wii fan, and batteries don’t last long and are expensive. A friend recommend this station for me and i have to say it is great… fast charging and very simple to use.
The only reason that I did not give it 5 stars is that it makes the wii remote a little bit thicker so it doesn’t click into the wii zapper with the rechargeable batteries and cover! So when ever I want to play with the zapper i have to use normal batteries or think of AA rechargeable ones!

If you just play with the remote and you are not into shooting games (so you won’t use the zapper or the gun etc) then you really should consider this station it will save you money.

Mario returns and takes his next adventure into space. Follow him as he travels from planet to planet bending the rules of gravity. Players experience perspective shifts as they run upside down through alien worlds. Meet challenges like surfing on a ray in an ocean in the clouds, rolling a ball through a treacherous garden, or floating in a bubble over a poisonous swamp. Control Mario with the Wii Remote and use the Nunchuk to perform his special moves. A special co-op function allows a second player to collect star bits for Mario or take care of enemies in his way.

After getting 60 stars we finally finish the game. By we I mean the whole family, with my 6 year old son helping and 8 year old daughter cheering. My son eventually got better than me playing the game. It took us more than 2 months to finish the game. It was more fun than I ever expected. Being a casual gamer, I never had the patience so far to finish a game. But this one is really interesting until the end. Job well done, Nintendo!

In the cabin on the boat, you can access the fish log to check out the fish that have been spotted, as well as carry out missions like photographing marine life. These missions unlock content, such as new items to use underwater, or different diving gear that can be used to customize your diver. Navigate through the depths using the Wii remote and guide your character using the pointer’s cursor,visible as a bright blue dot. Interact with fish or plants and discover new species while building up your fish log. Befriend companions like a dolphin which will become your partner and with whom you can train and swim with.

This game is fantastic. You can learn about the different kinds of sea live and creatures. Game is very educational and it play relaxing music while you swim. Exploring the ocean has never been so much fun. I recommend for all ages young and old alike! One disadvantage that I don’t like is the online capabilities. Wiconnect should stay on for the whole game.
