Nintendo Wii

The Nintendo Wii is Nintendo's fifth home console, released in late 2006. Its controller is the first in a Nintendo video-game system to use a motion sensor to control games. It is capable of playing Nintendo GameCube games and so can play both Pikmin and Pikmin 2. The respective New Play Control! versions of each of these and Pikmin 3, a future Pikmin release, are specifically for the Wii, and use its motion controls. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is also played on this console, which has Olimar and Pikmin as a playable character.
