Wii will get you fit: Why to Love Nintendo Wii  
PROs/CONs 

Tags: Nintendo, Wii, video, games, love, fit

The Wii (pronounced the same as the pronoun we) is the fifth home video game console released by Nintendo. Nintendo states that its console targets a broader demographic than that of Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3, but it competes with both as part of the seventh generation of gaming systems.

	Wii will get you fit: an hour a day on Wii Sports (combined with a balanced diet, of course) will have you losing pounds AND having fun. Buy a Nintendo Wii
	Innovative controls: the Wii-mote and Nunchuk are waved, pointed, swiped and swung to play.
	Full internet access: you're be able to surf the Web through Wii using the Opera browser.
	Play classic N64 games: the Virtual Console lets you purchase ‘points’ which can then be exchanged for retro games, which you download to the console.
	Wi-Fi: you’re not tied to your broadband socket, and if you’ve already got a wireless home network, you can connect to the internetweb straight away.
	Wii is the ultimate party console: invite friends round, ideally with their own Wii-motes, and play a bunch of mini-games.
	Create your own Mii: Miis are cartoon avatars that represent you in some games.
	Wii Play: more mini-games to show off your Wii-mote; comes with an extra controller bundled in.
	The old-skool classic controller: buy it to play Virtual Console games.
	It’s quiet: it doesn’t wheeze like a copulating rhino.
	USB expandability: Wii has two USB ports on the back, which in theory means all manner of peripherals can be plugged in. Webcams, keyboards, MP3 players…
	The Wii-mote rumbles: Want vibration? Get a Wii…
	You can check the weather: there’s a Weather Channel on Wii, so you can see if it’s raining outside.
	The SD card slot: memory cards are an important factor in Wii, including as a method to store your Virtual Console downloads.
	Silly peripherals: there are BigBen’s upcoming tennis racket and golf club attachments that plug onto your Wii-mote to leave you feeling a bit less silly when swinging.
	Wii Message Board: another of the console’s online channels, it’s part email-inbox, part online-forum, part bragging paradise.
	Backward GameCube compatibility: you can play all your old GameCube games in Wii, and plug your controllers in to boot.
	Edit your digital photos: who needs Photoshop when you’ve got a Wii. The Wii’s Photo Channel lets you import your photos and do all manner of tweaking to them.
	The Wii-mote can speak to you: it’s got a built-in speaker that can output sound effects or speech.
	Surround sound: Wii uses the Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound technology, ensuring that if you have the right speaker setup, you can be just as scared by orcs growling behind you as you would with a film.
	WiiConnect24: a nifty feature that lets your Wii stay on and connected to the network overnight without using up too much power. This will allow updates and patches to be automatically downloaded while you sleep.
	Custom soundtracks: if you’ve got a bunch of MP3 songs stored on an SD memory card, in theory you can use them as the soundtrack, like Xbox did with its hard drive.
	Wii Fit - A new balance detection pad that does everything you didn't think was possible
	Parental controls
	Used in physical therapy
