Motion sensing, essentially means you are required to mime the actions while playing any game. For instance, if you are playing a golf game you will be required to hold the controller like it was a golf club. There is a second controller, which is in style of a joystick, called the Nunchuk. This can be bolted on and used to expand gaming options.

Some of the games available on this system are; Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy and Wario Ware. In adittion, it is compatible with Nintendo GameCube titles also. Furthermore, the system has built-in Wi-Fi, thus making free online services and games easily accessible.

Like the GameCube memory card. If you do not have this then the progress made through many games will be lost when the system is shut down.  Other useful accessories with this gaming system are; prepaid Wii Points card, 1 gigabyte SD memory card, Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connector etc.

There are a few drawbacks of this system too. The controller often eats batteries. It might also take some time before the user gets used to the controller.
