The Wii is a home video game console developed by Nintendo Co., Ltd. that epitomizes the 2000s.

Released in 2006, the Wii was developed by Nintendo as a solution to the issue of 'gaming fatigue.' It aims to provide users with a different experience than previous gaming consoles.

For instance, it features a 'remote-control type' of controller, which is a bit different from controllers of previous gaming consoles.
As a result, while moving characters on the screen with a D-pad used to be the standard, the remote control-style controller allows for the detection of the player’s movements, leading to the release of many games where gameplay progresses through the player's physical actions.

In terms of performance, it may be slightly inferior to other high-performance hardware, but it excels in uniqueness, giving rise to a lot of masterpiece software unique to the Wii.

You fool! Even the Wii startup screen tells you to put the strap on your wrist. Did you not get hurt?

I didn't, thank you. Since then, I've been more careful and use the strap when I play. I never dreamed it would be so exciting and fun.

Not great, but that's also a memory of playing on the Wii. There was a good variety of ways to play, and there were plenty of games that could be played with a regular controller as well.
