The name for Nintendo's new videogame console. It's got a motion sensing remote control. Any movement you make, the same happens on screen. Play Tennis with Wii Sports, shoot-'em-ups with Metroid Prime 3, escape from disaster with Day of Disaster, smash things to pieces with H.A.M.M.E.R. (which has a guest appearence from M.C. Hammer), jump around with Mario Galaxy and play many more fresh, interesting, inviting games with the Nintendo Wii.

Pronounced: “Wee”

The name of Nintendo’s next Generation console that was originally code-named: Revolution.

Countless long time Nintendo fans are debating over the originality of the name and if Revolution should have been the real name.

Wii is supposed to mean “We” as in “We play together”. Reason why it’s written this way is because in Japanese, the letter “i” is pronounced like an “e” (while an “e” is pronounced like the sound “hey”).

The two “i” in Wii also represent the controllers that will be used for the game console.

This console will be the first console to go down in history by not having a name with real words:
"Wii" is not a word or an acronym like the names of these systems:
