This article will describe Nintendo Wii specs. For those of you who do not know, the Wii is the newest gaming console from Nintendo. Nintendo Wii specs are comparable to other gaming systems, but for the most part the Nintendo Wii separates itself from its competition with superior game play and multi age group acceptability. The Nintendo Wii specs are not mind blowing by any means, but do compare well with other systems.

Overview of Nintendo Wii Specs

The Nintendo Wii is 1.75 inches high and weighs 3.84 pounds. The game system supports Nintendo Wii discs as well as Game Cube discs. The central processor is an IBM PowerPC processor that runs on the RISC instruction set. Installed on the main board it has 512 megabytes of RAM and a flash memory card capable of storing 512 megabytes of data. The video card is manufactured by ATI of Hollywood. Internal on the system is a wireless G card capable of connecting to most modern wireless routers. The standard inputs on the system are the Wii Remote, each of which has a joystick on it as well as the standard buttons. You can connect up to four controllers to the Wii for game play and in addition there is a four pin USB type A input jack for additional controls or a keyboard. You can connect up a display monitor or television through the composite video output or the S-Video output. There is space for 2 Nintendo Game Cube Memory Cards or one SD Memory Card. These Nintendo Wii specs are standard for all of the units that are produced.

In addition to these specs for the main unit, all Nintendo Wii’s have a virtual console that allows you to download older games to run on the system. Each system comes with at least one Wii remote, which have a whole set of specifications on to themselves. The Nintendo Wii specs give it the power it needs to play all of the newest games and keep up with the bigger and clunky systems from Sony and Microsoft. Neither of those systems far outdistances the Wii in horsepower, but rather lack significantly in game play and fun factor. While the Nintendo Wii specs do not immediately make it stand out in crowd, the specs do not tell the whole story. The unit is so much fun to play that it is hard to describe and in order to truly experience it you need to go out and play one on your own.
