Getting the Most Out of Nintendo Wii with a Broadband Connection

When the Nintendo Wii first appeared in the video game console world in 2006, no one knew exactly what to expect with the non-traditional console. Unlike its competitors, Wii shifted the focus from graphics and conventional gamepads and controllers, to an unconventional controller and the feature that really set it apart – innovative, interactive gameplay. Since then the Nintendo Wii has become the best-selling video game console of its generation.

Nintendo Wii – What’s in the Box?

When you purchase the Nintendo Wii you’ll find the compact console (can be used vertically or horizontally), Wii remote, Nunchuk, sensor bar, Wii console stand, AC adaptor, AV cable, and the popular “Wii Sports” disc.

Access Wii + Internet Exclusive Online Content with Your Broadband Connection

Wii also provides diverse online features that anyone can take advantage of with a reliable broadband Internet connection. The Wii + Internet online features include new and classic games, exclusive content, browsing, online gameplay with your friends , competition with other players all over the world, and lots of channels with entertainment, news, and weather.

Access Hundreds of Classic Video Games with Wii Virtual Console

With the Wii Virtual Console you’ll have access to an extensive video game archive that includes hundreds of your favorite TurboGrafx 16, NES, SNES, N64, Arcade, Commodore 64, NEOGEO, Sega Master System, and Sega Genesis titles – enhanced by connecting your Wii to a broadband connection.

Hooking up the Nintendo Wii to a Broadband Internet Connection

All you’ll need to take your Wii online is a broadband Internet connection, the Wii console, and either a wireless router (if you have a wireless connection) or a Wii LAN adaptor (if you have a wired access point like a wired router or broadband modem). It’s that simple. To view step-by-step instructions, check out the Wii website.

Broadband Internet Enhances Nintendo Wii’s Top Games

Once you’re online with a broadband connection, you can start playing some of Wii’s most popular games like “Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles,” “New Super Mario Bros. Wii,” “Wii Sports Resort,” “Dead Space Extraction,” “Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers,” and “Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.”
