The Nintendo Wii is a unique video game console that was built for family-friendly group fun. The sleek, iPod-like console hardware comes with equally sleek wireless Wii Remote controllers, which have motion sensors that can detect when you shake, wiggle, or swing the controllers. This makes the Wii ideal for simple, fun party games that the whole family can enjoy while pantomiming common sports and games, like golf and bowling. However, the Wii also has a solid library of games that aren't just for family parties, including Nintendo's heaviest hitters, such as Mario, Zelda, and Smash Bros. to name just a few. What's more, the Wii also comes equipped with online functionality that lets you browse the Internet and download games, both in the form of classic 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System and 16-bit SNES games from the Virtual Console, as well as a variety of independently developed games on WiiWare. The Wii gained the ability to stream movies and TV shows via a separate Netflix subscription, as well.
