Sunday, November 19th will forever be remembered as the day that started a revolution. It is on that day when gamers will finally get to experience all that is the wonder of Nintendo Wii. 

Announced as “Project Revolution” more than 18 months ago, Nintendo Wii is more than an upgrade. Utilizing an entirely new control style – a wireless, motion-sensing remote – the Wii allows developers to create games unlike any other. 

For months there has been speculation as to whether or not this console could do for home entertainment what the Nintendo DS did for handhelds. As the console’s initial slogan stated, “Playing = Believing.” The first time you play Wii Sports, the first time you take a ride in Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam, and the first time you discover the secrets of the new Zelda will be some of the most memorable gaming experiences of your life. 

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess  

Those moments will be the point at which you stop speculating and start realizing that Wii isn’t just a name, a GameCube successor, or another kiddie machine. It is a revolution.
