What Nintendo Will Give You

By NintendoCom

Instead of putting together an expensive box with impressive hardware specifications like the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, Nintendo decided to set its Wii system apart by offering innovative gameplay with a new motion-sensitive controller. Nintendo will take users away from the gamepad interface and make game control more intuitive.

Nintendo will have a Wii Channel menu system that will offer a selection of information and communication applications designed to make the console a daily visit for everyone in the house. Nintendo demonstrated a forecast channel that will report local weather forecast information updated over the Internet and a news channel that will display the latest news information.

Not only those I mention above, as I said before, Nintendo will also feature parental controls, prohibiting young viewers from viewing inappropriate content. This allows parents to set the age level of the system, and when a disk is inserted, it will read the content rating encoded on the game disks; if this rating is greater than the system’s age level setting, the game will not load unless the user correctly enters a password to override the setting.

We shouldn’t be surprised by Nintendo’s move. This is the same company that rolled the dice on the Game Boy and the Nintendo DS. And don’t forget that Nintendo Wii will also be able to play GameCube games, and Nintendo will release a Wii edition of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess with special controller support.
