Console Buying Guide - Buying a Nintendo Wii




Nintendo Wii Fun for everyone!
Whom it is great for
The Wii is best for the casual gamer. Children and ladies enjoy this console the most. It is also great for parties.
Game regions
Nintendo has decided that Singapore and South East Asia are under the US region when it comes to our gaming needs. All our Wiis will work with games purchased locally or from US.

Difference between Local and Export set
Local sets are sourced from authorized distributor and carry a 1 year warranty by them.

Export sets are parallel imports. Warranty coverage (if any) is offered by the store.

Hacking / Modifications
All Wiis are currently hackable, but we do not offer such services. Intellectual property rights are strongly enforced in Singapore.

If the law does not deter you, we want to highlight that Wii hacking is done at a software level and you may need to re-hack with every firmware update. If you are paying people for modification services, it will probably be cheaper to stick to original games in the long run.

If you must hack, scour the Internet for information. Hacking can be done free with just a SD card and ethical hacking does help to maximise your Wii's potential (ie turn it into a media player or protect against firmware corruption).

Key accessories
Wii Remote and NunChuk: Wii games are better enjoyed together with friends and family. A second pair of controller is highly recommended.

Component Cable: You will want to get this if you have a HDTV with Component input so that you can get resolution of up to 480p. A small cost for a good benefit.

Wii 21-in-1 accessories pack: This does enhance your wii sports gameplay experience.

Summary
Fun is measured differently to different people. You don't need cutting edge graphics to have a blast - The Wii has nailed fun down to a console! Perfect for families, popular at parties and at such great value. People who hardly game can still play and have fun.
