The Wii is easily the most unique system to hit the market since, well, ever. Nintendo's gamble to produce a console follow-up of sorts to its successful DS portable proved a handsome payoff, leading Sony to play catch-up with its overblown and overpriced Playstation 3.
Featuring a novel way of playing - using hand motions with the unique remote-style controller to manipulate the on-screen action - the Wii has come screaming onto the gaming scene.
However, no amount of fancy technology can save a system if it lacks quality games. Luckily, Wii opened up with the surprisingly addictive "Wii Sports" included in the package (which provided sore wrists for many would-be bowlers, boxers and golfers) and quickly expanded with nothing less than the ridiculously anticipated "The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess" and "Trauma Center: Second Opinion."
Nintendo was often criticized in its GameCube days for making sloppy decisions and ignoring public demands, but it seems that with the Wii, the house that Mario built has received the remodeling it so desperately needed.
