It's Affordable, Amazing, and Hard to Find! What You Need to Know About the Nintendo Wii

Walk into any game store in your city and you'll see a small crowd gathered around a TV screen engaging in some active video gaming fun.  The Nintendo Wii has gotten former couch potatoes off their seats and into the game by having them take a more active role in it.

Pronounced "We," the Wii is the 5th console that Nintendo released to the public, but this time, it's easy to afford - if you can find one!  Priced at $250 and up, with amazing graphics and high-tech gadgetry, the Nintendo Wii is sure to be a best-seller this holiday season.

One thing that sets the Nintendo Wii apart is the wireless controller.  You're no longer chained to the console, but instead get to jump out of your seat, smack a baseball and hit a home run, fight dragons with swords, bowl a perfect game, and more.

The remote is wireless, as well, and when you have the strap wrapped around your hand to play, it detects motion and comes as close to virtual reality gaming as a home system can provide.
