Video games have certainly come a long way from the days of Pong and Donkey Kong. These days, powered by advances in computer technology, gaming consoles have undergone phenomenal development to become more realistic, more entertaining, and more time consuming than ever before. Currently, there are at least 3 corporate giants competing for domination of the gaming market: relative newcomers Sony and Microsoft, and the veteran Nintendo. From early on, Nintendo has built a reputation as an innovator in the gaming field, and their latest innovation does not disappoint. Introducing the Wii. 摆弄《乒乓》和《大金刚》这些电子游戏的时代已经一去不复返了。今天,随着电脑技术的发展,电子游戏发生了翻天覆地的变化,变的更真实、更具娱乐性、更经得起时间的考验。目前,至少有3家游戏巨擎在争夺游戏市场,例如刚入游戏行业的索尼和微软,还有任天堂。早前,任天堂曾在游戏领域树立了革新者的声威,而他们最新的革新作品也不让大众失望,那就是Wii。 Developed under the code name Revolution, the Wii is the fifth home video game console released by Nintendo. The most striking feature of the Wii is the method of control: the console utilizes a wireless controller, the Wii remote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and can detect motion and acceleration in three dimensions. In other words, Wii gaming is done through actual hand movements and motions. A tennis ball comes flying at you at high velocity. Grip the controller like a tennis racquet, cock your hand back and swing forward, causing the ball to fly back towards your opponent. A sword slices through the air, aiming to decapitate you. Wield your controller like a weapon and swing, striking back at your adversary. The Wii allows gamers to utilize a previously untapped medium of digital control: the natural motions of the human body. Wii是任天堂发行的第五代家庭游戏产品,代码是“革命”。最引人注目的特点在于它的操控设备:控制台使用了无线控制器,而遥控器可以手动操作又可以动作感应还有3维加速度。换言之,Wii既可直接操作又有动作感应功能。当你玩网球游戏时,有一只网球快速地向你飞来,你只要将遥控器当作网球拍奋力出击,网球就能飞向你的对手了。而当一把剑向你迎头砍来时,你只要将遥控器当作武器挥动就能抵挡你的对手。Wii让游戏玩家使用了之前从未发行的数字控制媒介:人体的自然动作感应。 The Wii was first conceived in 2001. Nintendo's game designer Shigeru Miyamoto wanted to focus on a new form of player interaction. Engineers and designers worked together in the next two years to develop the concept further. By 2005, the controller interface had taken form and the product was unveiled and demonstrated by Nintendo President Satoru Iwata at the September 2005 Tokyo Game Show. Wii的构思源自2001年。当时,任天堂的游戏设计师宫本茂想要开发一种新的玩家传感形式。随后的两年,工程师和设计师们致力于开发这个新的项目。2005年,控制器的界面形成,新产品也于2005年9月在东京游戏展会上由任天堂的总裁岩田聪揭开了面纱。 Nintendo has stated that it hopes to target a wider demographic with its console than that of its seventh generation competitors including the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360. At a press conference for the upcoming Nintendo DS game Dragon Quest IX, Iwata stated "We're not thinking about fighting Sony, but about how many people we can get to play games. The thing we're thinking about most is not portable systems, consoles, and so forth, but that we want to get new people playing games." 任天堂声称希望通过该产品收获比其第七代竞争对手(包括Playstation 3和Xbox 360)更多的消费者。在任天堂《勇者斗恶龙9》的游戏发布会上,岩田聪说:“我们想的不是和索尼竞争,而是我们会有多少购买者。我们想得最多的不是便捷的系统和控制台之类的,而是我们想让更多的人来玩游戏。” Games on the Wii include new games representing Nintendo's flagship franchises such as The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Mario, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Super Smash Bros., and Mario Kart. The Wii has internet capabilities, and is backwards compatible with all official Nintendo GameCube software, as well as the Nintendo DS. At the E3 video conference in 2006, the Wii won first place in several categories of awards. The console has been well-received by the public, prompting the Financial Times to declare during the week of September 12, 2007 that the Wii is the current sales leader of its generation. 可在Wii上玩的游戏还包括了代表任天堂旗舰系列产品的新游戏,比如:《塞尔达传说》、《银河战士》、《马里奥》、《动物之森》、《口袋怪物》、《明星大乱都》和《马里奥赛车》。Wii还有上网功能,可与任一官方的任天堂游戏和任天堂DS兼容。在2006年的E3电子发布会上,Wii获奖无数。而其控制台也广受大众好评,《金融时报》也声称在2007年9月12日所处的那一周,Wii绝对是游戏界的销售冠军。
