Not all Wii channels are functional
Graphics are not the greatest
Were knackered
Apple TV 2.2
Alienates the hardcore fraternity. Only standarddef visuals.
But there’s a downside to Nintendo’s pursuit of this new demographic - it has sidelined the hardcore gamers that were its previous bread 'n' butter audience. Whilst the Wii is well served when it comes to short
Simple mini games and m...
Doesn't play DVDs
No HD output
Graphics cant compete with the Xbox 360 and PS3
Games still expensive
Opera browser not included as standard
Needs Flash upgrade
Media functions could be better
Poor battery life for controllers
Some disappointing titles
Basic
Standard-def graphics. No multiplayer online gaming. Not all games suit the format. No DVD playback.
Low battery life for GamePad
GamePad range potentially very limited
Basic edition's memory is meagre
No cross-game chat
Controller eats batteries and takes some time to get used to
Lacks the advanced hi-def graphics and surround sound found on the Xbox 360 and the PS3
Requires a wired receiver unit placed near the TV to interface with wireless controllers
Abstract: It seems Nintendo game consoles have been running third in a field of three for years now. Given the GameCube’s failure to establish itself in a market that’s more concerned with gaming realism than it is with cutesy titles, our expectations for the c...
Abstract: The WiiMote looks a lot like the remotes found on many planes that change channels and play games. It has pretty good range, even allowing a pretty wide angle from the sensor. The biggest surprise of the WiiMote is not only how well it handles, but the...
The Xbox 360 did get a head start on the next generation consoles, but now that the playing field is being leveled we can expect the war to be much more heated. As we said, the Wii is by no means trying to win gamers over by having top of the line gra...
Abstract: Overall, Im happy with it and can see it being interesting long after the newness wears off. Its fairly cheap ($250) compared with most game systems and is great for kids and casual gamers. That games that shipped on launch day are enough to blow minds an...
Abstract: On November 19, 2006, who would have thought that a little white box would be the hit of the holiday season? The Wii is the latest gaming console innovation from the minds at Nintendo. While the Wii isn’t on the cutting edge of graphical technology...
Abstract: Last year I made a decision to purchase an Xbox 360 which at the time was well ahead of the gaming world. Unfortunately for me this has been nothing but problems such as overheating issues, scratched discs and no titles for younger children. Lucky for ...
Nintendo originally code-named their new video game console the Revolution. They should have kept the name, not just because the new moniker Wii (pronounced "wee") has been the butt of many jokes, but because this console truly is revolutionary.Ninten...

Serious gaming enthusiasts can subtract about 0.2-0.5 points from our official review score for the first six months. But come late 2007, you can add that back and then some. A fantastic effort that youll have to try firsthand to believe, the Wii fina...
Innovative controller. Fun add-on channels. Engaging game play. Easy to use and understand. Full GameCube support.
Poor graphics. Cant back up saved games. Doesnt play DVDs.
The Nintendo Wii is a fun, engaging, wildly innovative game console thats dramatically different from the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, and way more affordable, too....
