Nintendo’s Wii video game system (pronounced “we”) brings people of all ages and video game experience together to play. This simple yet ground breaking idea is expressed not only though the system’s evocative name, which is easily pronounced in a variety of languages, and suggests two players side by side, but also through its innovative list of features and extensive list of playable titles.

A Little Box With Plenty of Power As with every console, much of the buzz surrounds the specs. 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.
Amazon aims to offer the most competitive prices available. "MAP" refers to the manufacturer's "Minimum Advertised Price." Some manufacturers use MAP policies to prohibit online retailers from indicating to customers that a lower price is available. Retailers still have the legal right to set their own retail price independently. Our latest price on all products will be visible to you prior to final checkout, before you are asked to complete your purchase.
