Four Different Wii Controllers
When you look at the nintendo Wii console you may be a little confused by the variety of the controllers available. The reason for this happening was thanks to the motion-sensing technology that the console is so good at in is not so well suited for some types of games.
So while the Wii's initial "Wii Remote"(or "WiiMote") may be excellent for first-person shooters and racing games it is not so good with other genres such as fighting, where the player is often forced to quickly pull off a series of complex actions in a short amount of time.
There are four controller setups: WiiMote, WiiMote & Nunchuk, GameCube Controller, and Classic Controller.
The WiiMote was from the original setup. Its a one-hand motion-sensing controller that is often used for puzzle and party games, as well as racing games and some sports and the controller is held in a different position for each type of game.
In the racing games you hold the controller sideways with both hands and twist back and forth to control the racing vehicle onscreen. In sports games the controller is held in various positions which mimic real life. For example, in bowling, the controller movement is very similar to the movement of your hand and arm while bowling at the lanes. The tennis game requires holding the controller upright to serve the ball, and flicking the wrist to return the ball.
The Nunchuk is an odd name for the control stick attachment that also features motion-sensing. An example of its features is in that of the common first-person shooter: you look, aim, and fire using the WiiMote in your right hand, while you steer with the Nunchuk in your left hand, and lift the Nunchuk slightly to reload your weapon. The Nunchuk is also used in boxing, manipulating the left hand punches while the WiiMote controller manipulates the right hand punches.
Some Wii games are compatible with the GameCube controller so, if you have Super Smash Brothers Brawl and Mario Kart you can use it. These are traditional type games that do not lend themselves so well to the new Wii controller. The GameCube controller is not wireless as are the WiiMote and Nunchuk.
Yet another option in a Wii controller is the "Classic Controller". The Classic does not feature motion-sensing, but does have dual control sticks (rather like that of the Playstation) as well as basically all the button configurations that the Gamecube controller features. As with the GameCube controller, the Classic is not wireless.
However, this could all change very soon because the Nyko company will be releasing their wireless version of the Classic Controller. Reviewers with preview models have generally praised this new addition to the Wii controller family and the Nintendo's large variety of controllers will ensure that there are many ways to play and enjoy new games on the Wii in the future.
Wii Sports Game For Wii Console
The Wii Sports game is often one of the games bumdled with the Nintendo Wii Console. It is a very popular game and that is due to the realistic gameplay not simply with the game graphics but due to the way the games are played. They are very like the real-world sports games.
Just one example is that when you hit the ball in the tennis game you swing the controller to the left or right as if it were a raquet. There is none of that fiddling with a small controller pad to play the game. When you hit a baseball you hold the controller in a similar way to how you would hold a baseball bat. This is what gives the nintendo wii the most realistic game play we have ever seen for sports video games.
Included in the package are tennis, baseball, boxing, bowling, and golf. The boxing game requires a separate "nunchuck" which plugs into the controller. All the games include a training guide, standard play, several multiplayer choices, and the ability to create your own characters.
The training allows you to practice your moves in on one of three different actions for each sport. Just as in real life, training or practice helps to improve your performance. In the tennis game, you can focus on returning the ball or placing the ball within a specific area and in baseball you can practice pitching or batting. Boxing training is useful for learning how to duck and weave and throw your punches at just the right moment.
The standard gameplay involves one player playing against the computer. In some of the modes by defeating a computer opponent you will gain an "experience" score. With enough experience, your rank increases. If you can get a good rank you gain bragging rights among your friends and fellow gamers.
The multiplayer optiona allows two, three, or four players to compete against one another. This is Wii Sports at its most immersive and rewarding making it far more than the average games console experience. Its one thing to pit your skill against a challenging computer player but it's so much better to play with living, breathing people whose real-life movements, as well as yours, directly correspond with the onscreen gameplay. For this, of course, each player must have his or her own controller.
With Wii Sports, you can create your own characters and save them for later use. To create your own character, you simply start with a character from the "Mii channel". The character can then be customized to your liking. Some of these characters can be used in games other than Wii Sports. A lot of gamers enjoy saving their Wii Sports characters to the Wii remote controller. This enables you to take them to a friend's house, and insert the character into the game played there. This adds much greater personality to the gaming experience.
Game reviewers have given Wii Sports positive reviews overall, and don't seem to find many flaws. The game has also won several awards.
The Nintendo Wii Sports game provides hours of fun for families and people of all ages.

Discover The Easy Way To Copy Wii Games Right On Your Computer
The Nintendo Wii has been all the rage recently and has caused quite the stir in the video game industry. With so many new people having the Nintendo Wii in their homes, we are frequently receiving emails from people asking how they can copy Wii games.
Since we keep getting this question, we decided to put together a quick guide on how to copy Wii games right on your own computer.
Nowadays, almost everyone has used the computer to burn a CD at some point. There are many different CD burning programs that let you do this; in fact most computers come pre-loaded with some type of burning software. However, this software will not make copies of your Wii games.
Why? Because video game discs have a form of protection that stops these programs from being able to make copies. When you insert the game discs in your computer your PC doesn't know how to "read" them.
Although most burning software won't work, there are specialty game-copying programs that have been specifically designed to be able to bypass the copyright guards that are on video game discs. This software will let you copy Wii games by allowing your computer to "understand" the game discs.
So how does it work?
There's nothing to it really. First, your computer will make am "image" of the game disc when you put it in your disc drive. You then insert a blank DVD-R or CD-R disc and the software will burn this image onto the disc. You now have a perfect copy of the game.
Not only will this software let you copy Wii games, but you can also make copies of XBOX 360, PS3 and all types of games. This way you don't have to buy a new program if you have more than just the one game system.
Once you get in the habit of copying Wii games it's a good idea to make a copy of any game you have. This way you don't have to worry about losing or damaging the original game disc. Your backup copies will work just like the originals and can be made directly from your own computer. All the best!
