Nintendo Wii

Nintendo Wii, where motion meets living room chaos

Nintendo Wii arrived with a very clear idea of fun, and a rather unusual controller to match. Nintendo built it around motion controls, a wireless Wii Remote, and a broader audience than the usual crowd of button-mashers. Our catalog gives you 913 games from 2006 to 2014, so there is plenty to dig into, whether you want a quick party round, a sports fix, or something a little more oddball. It is the sort of library that invites one more try, then another.

What the Nintendo Wii is

The Wii is Nintendo's home console from the seventh generation, released in 2006 and known for putting gesture control front and center. It was designed to be accessible, with motion-tracking input, a pointing function, and online features through the Wii Shop Channel. Early models could also play GameCube games and use GameCube accessories. Nintendo later released the RVL-101 and the Wii Mini, which removed some of those features. A tidy machine, if you ignored the cables, which nobody ever really did.

Where to start in our catalog

If you want a feel for the range, start with 007: Quantum of Solace, 428: Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de, and AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack. For something more arcade-like, try 101-in-1 Party Megamix, 101-in-1 Sports Party Megamix, or Action Girlz Racing. Sports and movement show up often too, with 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, Academy Of Champions: Soccer, Active Life: Explorer, Active Life: Extreme Challenge, Active Life: Magical Carnival, and Active Life: Outdoor Challenge [Mat Bundle]. If you like your Wii with a side of unmistakable pop, ABBA: You Can Dance is right there waiting.
