...Nintendos latest home console system was released in North America on November 19th 2006. Nintendos goal seems to focus on casual games which entertain a broad demographic of gamers and non-gamers. Nintendos product is the cheapest new generation home console system on the market, retailing for USD $249.99, and challenges to change the way people think about gaming.

A Kids Console?

Historically, Nintendo has produced kid safe console designs where most games were innocent and cute. Nintendo has changed their target audience to a broader audience with different styles of gaming. You can purchase a first-person shooter, such as, Call of Duty 3 or you can purchase child centric games, such as Barnyard, Cars or Cooking Mama. There are also many middle-of-the road games that all ages can enjoy, such as Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, Elebits and wii Play.

This kids console has morphed into the casual gaming console. This is a device where a gamer can invest fifteen minutes to fifteen hours of playtime. A father of two can find time to play Tennis in wii Sports or get in a game of nine-ball in wii Play. A teenager can snowboard down a hill in SSX Blur and a younger child may yearn for Avatar: The Last Airbender.

The Nintendo wii is well suited for kids but it goes beyond children. Grandparents are picking up the product after watching their children and grandchildren play. It might be for a golf game or a racing game, but it shows the attractive nature of the wii. Just as many houses are equipped with a version of Monopoly and Scrabble the Wii becomes something to bring out when friends are over.
