How to Configure a Wii Controller

The Wii is a game console developed by Nintendo and first made available to the public in 2006.

The Wii has been a trendsetter, as other gaming consoles like PlayStation and Xbox both have entered the world of gaming that allows body movement to control the movements of characters on the screen.
