The interaction between player and the game console is what makes the Nintendo Wii superior than other consoles. Many Nintendo Wii previews think highly of this game unit; the design, the innovative controllers which is called "the Wiimote" and most of all, the games.

The Bad:

With every good side comes the bad side. Here are some of the bad side of Nintendo Wii Previews: The Wiimote eats up battery life so fast that you have to change batteries often. It takes time to get used to the style of gameplay especially of you are a newbie to the gaming world. The package only comes with one Wiimote; you have to buy a separate one to play cooperative games.

It lacks HD graphics and surround sound unlike Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PS3. It requires a wired Bluetooth receiver to be placed somewhere in front of the TV screen to interface with the remote controller, and most of all, it won't play CD's and DVD's.

On some Nintendo Wii previews, Nintendo stated that they did not allow the Wii to have DVD playback. This was to lower the cost of the game console. There are some reports however that they are planning to release a version that plays DVD in Japan sometime soon. So you guys would have to wait and see.
