The
Wii boasts 512 MB of internal flash memory, two USB 2.0 ports, and a
slot for SD memory expansion. The system’s technological heart -- a
processing chip developed with IBM and code-named "Broadway"
and a graphics chipset from ATI code-named "Hollywood" --
deliver stunning performance. And instead of a tray, Wii uses a single,
self-loading media bay that plays both 12-centimeter optical discs used
for the new system, as well as Nintendo GameCube discs.
No
bigger than a small traditional remote control, the wireless Wii Remote
is a truly multi functional device. The magic of the Wii Remote's design
lies within; acellerometers inside the controller measure movement in
all directions and at all speeds. In a tennis game, it serves as your
racket as you swing away. In driving games it serves as a steering
wheel, allowing you to swerve to avoid obstacles or pickup power-ups. In
first-person shooters, it acts as a firearm that you can point directly
at an on-screen enemy.
