The Reasonable Wii Console
Posted By admin on January 29, 2009
When designing the Wii console, Nintendo had many options to consider.Since this was to be the next revolution in video gaming, every consideration was made to ensure the Wii had its place in history. Should the Wii console be a monstrous thing with shiny silver parts, lights blinking, and all kinds of knobs and buttons? Should it be the biggest game system you ever saw or should it be something not so outstanding?The purpose of the Wii was considered into the design of the console. The Wii was created and designed to be something that would bring the alienated video game crowd back to the world of video game play. It was supposed to be something for everyone.By any standards, it is not supposed to be intimidating.An image that would be accepted by common people had to replace the image of the power user that had been previously used.The Wii console had to have a friendly, easy to use feel to ensure people would want to and be able to use it.It needed to have a powerful look, yet be unassuming at the same time.The needs of today blend with the look of tomorrow.
While the console resembles an upright DVD player, it’s sleek look also feels revolutionary. The continuing theme is white and all of the accessories being developed for the Wii console are being made in that white theme with sleek lines and an unassuming shape and look. There is a consistency about the Wii console that allows anyone to feel like they can not only set it up and use it but potentially master it as well.The design allows people to make it their own while it gives off its own energy.
It Is All Hands Off
The necessary wireless controllers feel and look similar to the television remote control.The Wii console combines everything familiar to consoles as well as everything new and exciting.The design combines what Nintendo wants the public to see in the future, as well as, what the public already knows.The four years of hard work it took to create the Wii console shows.
The Wii console does not require a college degree to use it, nor does it make you feel that way.This new game console fits perfectly within a market that had been isolated for years.
