Lots of people ignore Wii gaming because they love the traditional aspect of video game playing. With the Wii system from Nintendo, the player must get active and get involved in the game, more than any other system before it. Wii gaming puts the player right on the field, in the castle, or in any of the other creative environments covered by Wii gaming videos.

The "game" of Wii gaming is that the players use special remotes to activate their game objects. This means that if one is playing a baseball game and one wishes to swing the baseball bat, one actually has to use the remote to actively swing the bat. This type of activity may be a little too advanced for some players, but for many it is the gateway to true player-involved game play.

Unlike the Nintendo NES controller, the Wii remote contains sensors that allow the player to move and allow the game to sense those movements, replicating them within the game. The Nintendo NES controller, and all of the other game controllers allowed for passive game play, do not involve much physical activity or involvement. These are referred to as "static" controllers since you only use fingers and hands to push buttons or levers. The Wii remote and Wii gaming makes for a very active gaming experience.

The Wii was originally called the Nintendo Revolution before it changed its name to the Nintendo Wii. It is rumored that the name change was due the fact that Nintendo Revolution sounded too much like other gaming systems and sounded too impersonal. Wii gaming is all about involvement, so using the collective "we" in a new form (as in "Wii") was said to be more inviting to all sorts of players.

Wii gaming also offers a tremendous amount of game variety. In supporting connectivity with the Nintendo DS, the handheld system, the Nintendo Wii is able to work with the DS games as well as the original Nintendo Wii games and even the Nintendo GameCube games. With the DS games, GameCube games, and a whole array of Nintendo Wii games to choose from, the selection is great.

The Nintendo Wii offers players a gaming experience that is unrivaled in the field of video game consoles. It is inclusive and creates more variety in its game play than any other system on the market. The activity level for the gamer is the top reason many people go with the Wii, but Nintendo has also made a system that doesn't alienate other gamers. Wii gaming is taking off on many fronts.
