As many of you will know, the Wii is a gaming console brought to market by Nintendo, a company with over twenty years of expertise in video games. But this is far more than your average console: it’s a virtual console, part of a new generation where you interact directly with the game. Gone are the days of just pressing buttons on a controller—now your full-body movements take the spotlight, dictating how your avatar acts and navigates different scenarios.
With various controllers and accessories to choose from, you can tailor your gaming experience. These innovations offer fresh gameplay and heightened precision, helping Nintendo achieve one of its greatest successes. Pick an avatar that resembles you and dive into the myriad adventures available in the Wii’s catalogue.
Among the games you’ll find—whether classics like Super Mario Bros. or new releases like Wii Fit Plus (the latest fitness game, launching across Europe on 30 October)—we recommend trying adventure sports, such as:
- Scuba Diving. Endless Ocean delivers breathtaking experiences as you explore an underwater world teeming with unique species, almost lifelike in their realism. Become a seasoned diver in tropical waters—who knows, it might even inspire you to try it in real life. Encounter walruses, dolphins, penguins, or angelfish... a whole universe awaits in this captivating adventure.
- 4x4 Off-Roading. With Monster 4x4 World Circuit, grip the Wii remote like a steering wheel and race off-road across global terrains. Pull off gravity-defying jumps and tackle snow, deserts, or even rollercoaster-like tracks—no terrain is off-limits for your 4x4.
- Snowboarding. Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip lets you shred like a pro. Use the balance board to nail tricks, join high-stakes competitions, or carve down epic slopes—all for an adrenaline-packed experience.
- Skiing. Sports Island 2 includes skiing among its roster of sports. Race friends for a hilariously fun time, hone your coordination, and customise your avatar to see yourself on-screen mastering winter’s most thrilling sport.
- Skiing and Snowboarding. SSX Blur combines both sports, teaching you to conquer the snow. Execute jaw-dropping jumps and tricks by motion-drawing your moves with the controller.
