What Comes With the Wii?

Features

• When you unpack the Wii you will find several components. The main component is the Wii gaming system. With this you will find a stand so you can place your Wii in a vertical position. There are also power cables and RCA cables so you can attach it to the TV.
  To play games, you will need the Wii Remote and its add-on the Nunchuk, both are included in the box. One of the key elements in getting your Nintendo Wii to work properly is the Sensor Bar that is also included.

Types

• Depending on when or where you purchase your Wii, there may be slight differences in the final product. Newer Wii systems come equipped with one Wii Remote Jacket. This is a soft gel jacket that gives you a better grip on your Wii remote and helps give it extra protection if it is dropped. Owners of older systems can order free Wii Remote jackets from Nintendo's official website.

Significance

• The Nintendo Wii also comes with a full game titled "Wii Sports." This game features tennis, baseball, bowling, boxing, and golf. Most gaming systems do not come with a full game, sometimes not even a demo disc, so it is significant that the Nintendo Wii comes with Wii Sports. The game is part of the reason why the Nintendo Wii is so popular.

Geography

• The location where the Nintendo Wii is bought can also affect what comes inside of the box. With the release in Japan, Wii Sports was not packaged with the system, so buyers had to purchase this game separately, and it achieved record sales when it was released.

Identification

• The Wii packaging is set-up as a large white rectangle shaped box. When you open up the side flap, there are two pull-out sections featuring different components. The bottom section contains the nunchuck, power cables, RCA cables, and the Wii system. The top section contains the manuals, Wii Remote, Wii Remote Skin, and Wii Sports.
