Wii Remote
To make gaming as accessible to people of all ages and all abilities,
Nintendo wanted to create a controller that was as inviting as it was
sophisticated. The outcome is the Wii Remote controller. Nintendo fused the
familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing
technology to come up with an input device for the ages!
Sporting the size of a traditional remote control, the wireless Wii Remote
controller is a multifunctional device that is limited only by the game
designers imagination. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket you swing
with your arm. In a driving game, it serves as your steering wheel. For
first-person shooters, the remote acts as your weapon that you point at an
enemy. The list of potential uses goes on and on.
Using Bluetooth technology, the wireless Wii Remote controller sends your
actions to the Wii console from as far as 30 feet away. As a pointing device,
the controller can send a signal from as far as 15 feet away. Up to four Wii
Remote Controllers can be connected at once, making for some great multiplayer
fun!
In addition to its pointing and motion-sensing abilities, the Wii Remote
controller also includes a speaker, rumble feature and expansion port for
additional input devices, such as the Nunchuk controller.
