Nintendo Wii Repairs
The Nintendo Wii console was released in Australia in 2007 and since has
become the greatest selling and fastest selling gaming console in Australia.
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) was the last successful
gaming console for Nintendo. After SNES Nintendo did release Nintendo64 and
GameCube however these were major flops and saw Nintendo losing its market
share in the video gaming industry. Wii saved Nintendo from extinction and
totally revolutionised our way of gaming by introducing a new concept of
playing and player interaction.
Though its previous consoles lost to Xbox, Playstation and Playstation 2,
Nintendo's Wii re-enters the market against Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 (PS3)
in a totally different light. Though its graphics capabilities do not
compare to its rivals, the Wii is a more affordable gaming solution,
attracts people of all different ages regardless of their gaming experience
and really appeals to parents as it gets children up and moving.
The Wii console comes with a wireless Wii remote (and Nunchucks) and a
Sensor Bar which is used to determine the remote's position in 3-D space via
accelerometers and infrared detection. Development of this technology has
also led to accessories such as the Wii Fit Balance Board. Bluetooth
technology is utilised for Wii remote connection and vibration and speakers
in the remote enhance play. The Wii contains 512mb of internal flash memory
and an upgradeable SD card can be inserted in the SD card slot. A drawback,
the Wii cannot be used as a home media centre like the Xbox 360 or PS3 and
does not play DVDs.
Users can connect wirelessly with the Nintendo DS, DS Lite, DSi, DSi XL and
3-DS, or connect to the internet via built-in 802.11b/g.
While the Wii has poorer graphics capabilities than its two rivals the Xbox
360 and PS3, as it has the least powerful processor, the positive side to
this is that it is not disposed to processor or overheating issues like its
rival consoles. Most Wii problems experienced by Wii owners are a result of
normal wear and tear, such as the laser needing to be replaced, or misuse,
such as foreign objects being inserted into the disc drive. Because of the
compact size and a disc drive with no disc tray, children love to use it as
a money box; hence foreign object retrieval is common.
