The Nintendo Wii is Nintendo's revolutionary new home console. It brings new life to gaming, with motion controls for all your favorite franchises, like Mario, Metroid, Zelda, etc, while bringing many new titles to the playing field, such as the "Wii" string of games, which includes Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Fit, and now, Wii Music. You can create your own Mii (your personal ccharacter, who can be used in many different games for Wii), surf the web with the Internet Channel, buy classic titles, along with new WiiWare with the Wii Shop Channel, and even cast your vote in polls with the Everybody Votes Channel.

Wii also comes with WiiConnect24, which enables the Wii console to download updates and e-mail any time, even when it's in sleep mode. This is used by various games as well, such as the messages you get from the Mario Kart Wii Channel, informing you of new tournaments, and the upcoming title Animal Crossing: City Folk, which will send messages from inside the game to your Wii Message Board.

Of course, Wii features much more than just these things. There are many new WiiWare titles coming all the time, as well as common updates to the Virtual Console catalog. All in all, Wii is the system you'll want to have for sure, and if you manage to pick one up, you won't regret it!
