The Wii console is everywhere now, many people have purchased the Nintendo Wii for their families or to play with their friends. The Wii Fit helped bring the console to many more users than if it were only a gaming console. So what's next for the Nintendo Wii game system?
Nintendo has just released some new features, accessories and game titles. For example, the biggest release in May 2009 has been the Wii Motion Plus. This is an accessory that is added onto the motion-sensitive controller, but increases the sensitivity of motion that can be achieved with the controller. By fine tuning the motion, players can excel at new sports and challenges. A new version of Wii Sports is being released as well, that uses the new MotionPlus accessory, called Wii Sports Resort.
There is also a new sports bundle available using the new Sports Resort game and including the MotionPlus. Many of the new games are bundled with a console, since new users may not have purchased the console yet, but are motivated to do so with the new game releases.
Another feature that Nintendo has in development is called the "vitality sensor", a small fingertip sensor that clips on and uses a light sensor to read bio rhythms. This neat little item has the potential to measure brain waves, and give users a biofeedback experience. (Can you imagine a "meditation" game that teaches users to meditate?) This can help with teaching users how to focus, improve attention and other benefits. This is a feature which may be released in 2010.
Nintendo keeps working to bring more non-gamers into the fold, by creating games and features that appeal to non-gamers. The Wii Fit is a classic example of that, allowing anyone who wants to start and maintain a fitness routine to use the balance board to exercise, track fitness, and set up workout routines.
More sports games are being released as well, and finding Wii Sports bundles includes the games and accessories needed to work with the Wii console right out of the box. Virtua Tennis from Sega and Grand Slam Tennis from EA Sports are both new, and Grand Slam Tennis uses the new MotionPlus.
Also just look at the new release, EA Sports Active, which gives users a sensor pad to help track body movements while running in place or doing other exercises. These are the kinds of new games and accessories that are going to keep the Wii console in the top of all game systems.
