Games might seem to some like just a casual pastime. But many really stretch the mind and body to perform at their peaks. Strategy games developed for the Wii prove that point many times over.
Pikmin is a great case in point. Here you’ll find a unique example of real-time strategy as you try to rebuild [...]

Gaming sometimes has the reputation for creating passive people. With Wii sports and outdoor games, it’s easy to see this is far from accurate. Gamers don’t just passively watch, they become part of the action, central to it.
There are hundreds, no thousands of good examples, but none better than We Ski. Because the Wiimote and [...]
The GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) inside the Wii console has only modest-appearing specs. At 243MHz, no computer graphics geek is going to be impressed by the ATI controller in the Wii.
But behind that modest number there is still a powerful engine that, even more importantly, Nintendo has used in some highly creative ways. The results, [...]
Gaming has a reputation for encouraging couch potatoes. The active play made possible by the Wii Remote and Nunchuk certainly show that isn’t the case with Nintendo’s system. The new Wii Fit ‘game’ really proves the point.
Wii Fit has dozens of ways to get you off that couch and get your blood pumping. Along the [...]
Some gamers enjoy a puzzle. Others want to role play. Still others are seeking adventure. Action games cover all these territories and more. With a Wii action game you can explore the unknown and test your wits to unlock a mystery. You can do it while pretending to be a favorite character. All along, you [...]
At the most basic level Wii (pronounced “we”) is just Nintendo’s gaming system. But that simple description doesn’t do justice to what is one of the most innovative entertainment inventions of the past several years.
It isn’t just that each part of the system is superb, though it is. It is that the Wii rises above [...]
“How much will the Nintendo Wii cost?”
The question sounds weird in this day and age, almost 3 years since the release of the said console, and almost just as much time the product has dominated the sales charts. Surely, most people know how much the system costs these days, right?
If someone’s living in a [...]
Don’t you sometimes wish you had a time machine to the golden past? The Wii Virtual Console provides something like that.
Gaming didn’t begin yesterday. In one form or another it’s been around for 20 years. True, early games like Pong were crude. But the sophistication grew by leaps and bounds very quickly. Many of them [...]
For such a simple device, the Wii Nunchuk offers amazing features. Much of that simplicity is deceptive, though, since this add-on Wii game controller has far more to offer than its simple appearance would suggest.
The Wii Nunchuk connects to the Wii Remote via a cord that provides both electrical power and coordination between the two [...]
The bare specs of the Wii CPU won’t seem impressive to any computer geek. At 729MHz it hardly compares to contemporary processors for PCs and Macs. But that seemingly low number is not quite so weak as it appears. The Broadway CPU, as it’s known, is based on the IBM PowerPC design that powers some [...]
