The Wii (pronounced we), known during development as Revolution, released in 2006, is the fifth video game console released by Nintendo, and the eleventh game system. The Wii is the successor to the GameCube. Nintendo states that its console targets a broader demographic than that of Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3, but it competes with both as the best selling part of the seventh generation of gaming systems.
A distinguishing feature of the console is its wireless controller, the Wii Remote, which can be used as a hand-held pointing device and can detect motion and rotation in three dimensions. As of October 2009, no Final Fantasy games in the main series have been released on, or announced for the Wii.
WiiWare are downloadable games and applications specifically designed and developed for the Wii. The games and applications can only be purchased and downloaded from the Wii Shop Channel under the WiiWare and Channels sections. WiiWare is being touted as an avenue for developers with small budgets to release innovative, original, and smaller-scale games without the investment and risk of creating a title to be sold at retail.
The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console operated primarily with an infra-red remote-control-like wand, known as the Wiimote. There are no Grand Theft Auto games released for the Wii, just as there were none for the GameCube, and it is unlikely for Grand Theft Auto IV to be ported to this console. However, this is not impossible - there may be later GTA games developed for the Wii since it is less powerful than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Manhunt 2 was released on the Wii as well as Bully: Scholarship Edition and Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis, which was considered to be the company's "testing ground" for the RAGE engine.
The Wii is the fifth home video game console released by Nintendo.
In May 2006, when the Wii (formerly codenamed the Revolution) was officially unveiled at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, LucasArts made no comment on possible games for the console. A few months later at the annual Comic-Con convention however, Steve Sansweet, Lucasfilm's director of content management answered a question at the Star Wars panel confirming that LucasArts planned to develop video games for all of the next-gen consoles.
The system is unique for its controller, the Wii Remote, which is motion sensitive and interactive. Fans have speculated that upcoming Star Wars games may take advantage of the console's unique motion sensing technology in its "Wii-mote" to simulate lightsaber duels. Jim Ward of LucasArts has said that internal prototype games using the Wii-mote to control lightsabers exist.[1]
