Introducing Wii

Wii is a games console that keeps you active while you’re having fun. Designed to be easy to use, it’s the perfect way to spend some quality time with your grandkids – and show them how it’s done!

It’s brilliant to use when the grandchildren aren’t there too, with a range of great games that’ll keep both your body and your mind in shape.

To play the games, all you have to do is point the your controller at the screen and move it in the direction you want your character to go. Using motion-sensing technology, the Wii console picks up on your movements and translates them onto the screen.
