Few video game consoles have generated as much buzz as the Nintendo Wii at the time of its release. Before motion-sensing and tracking technology became commonplace, Nintendo sought to revolutionize the gaming landscape with this system.
The Wiimote/Nunchuck control system offered gamers a whole new way to play. This opened the door to a new generation of interactive, motion-based games like Wii Sports and Just Dance. The Wii had a large catalog of games in order to address all gamers. Here's a roundup of the Wii games you can still play today.

The new chapter in the Paper Mario story takes place in different dimensions. What at first glance appears to be a 2D sidecroller from the Paper Mario universe quickly turns into a 3D action-adventure game that defies classic level design logic.

The action spans eight worlds filled with traps, puzzles, bizarre mysteries and objects that often appear out of nowhere.
Play with Motion Control! Race down a river, punch a statue to pieces, steer racing cars, and manipulate a balancing pole while walking a tightrope. Play with the pointer!
