How to Play With Eight Players on a Wii

The Wii is Nintendo's 5th generation gaming console and it offers unique gameplay mechanics. The Wii is controlled not by a standard game controller, but by Wii remotes, that resemble remote controls. The Wii also offers motion control game play. Instead of pushing buttons, users must swing the Wii remote in order to make characters in a game move. The Wii can connect to up to 4 Wii remotes and 4 GameCube controllers and there are games that allow you to play with 8 players on the Wii.
