Video game consoles have mainly been reserved for hardcore gamers, but now thats completely changing with the Nintendo Wii. The Nintendo Wii has been used by the elderly at retirement homes, young kids, and even doctors. Doctors are currently using the Nintendo Wii for physical therapy.

They say that the Nintendo Wii does an excellent job of helping people get back their coordination and also get much needed exercise and movement. The key is to try to take the mind off the pain the patient is experiencing. Nintendo's intuitive effect does exactly this.

 
 

This may be a bit of a shocking headline but analysts believe that Nintendo is losing out on $1.3 billion in extra revenue by not making enough Nintendo Wiis. This is quite a staggering number, and they say Nintendo could be producing twice as many Wiis per month and sell them all.

That's quiet an achievement by Nintendo, but also a little troublesome. 1.3 billion dollars is nothing to laugh at and is probably making Nintendo executives concerned about whether they should try to increase production. However, this isn't easy because the demand won't stay this high forever.

 
 

Have you ever gotten tangled with the cord that connects the nunchuk with the Wii remote? Well there's a solution for you! It turns out that Nyko, a prolific maker of video games accessories, has made a wireless solution for the nunchuk. A wireless adapter is attached to the bottom of the Wii remote and this communicate with the nunchuk.

This is a great solution to many people's frustration with the flying wire. For those competitive gamers, it's quite annoying to have a wire smack your face every time you lay down the ultimate upper cut on your friend. You can't get one just yet, but it should be coming out very soon. Stay tuned to this great accessory!

 
 

You may not know that there is a copycat in China that made a system that looks and feels like the Vii. Well almost... the Vii was created in China because Nintendo did not feel like it should be selling the Wii in China just yet.

The Vii seems like a decent copycat at first with its motion sensitive controls and white box that resembles the Wii. The worst is the fact that its called Vii which is basically exploiting the Nintendo Wii's marketing efforts. It also sounds quite dumb.

The Vii is pretty hollow. A couple of Chinese gamers videotaped themselves opening up the Vii to see just a small PCB board with a simple design. The processor lends the Vii to only play simple 2d games with the motion sensitive control. Simply, its a poor copycat.

 
 

The Nintendo Wii can not be found in any retail store and it is causing my shoppers to go online. Many of them are resorting to services like this Wii Finder. While many people have already purchased their Nintendo Wii from websites like this one, there are many who are deciding to wait to maybe get lucky and snatch one for retail price. It turns out these people are losing lots of money as the Nintendo Wii is becoming more and more expensive on places like eBay.

Over the past couple of weeks, Wii Finder has seen prices rise from $300 to $500 on eBay. This is an unbelievable jump in market value for the Nintendo Wii for something that is supposed to be the console for the masses. It's crazy that you'd pay less if you'd buy a PS3.

The problem is getting even worse as people realized on Black Friday that there are no Nintendo Wiis to be found. More and more people are jumping to sites like Wii Finder to get their Nintendo Wii. This is causing a huge spike in traffic, which means prices should be rising even higher.

All we really know is that we won't see stable stock until well into next year. If you want one know, buy it now from a recommended place on Wii Finder or find yourself bored and empty handed on Christmas.

 
 

You might be a little confused, but hear me out. Someone has actually made a lightsaber for the Nintendo Wii. Now before you start freaking out and asking me where to buy it, I have to tell you that it is just a glow stick with a hangle where you can put the Wii remote in. This is a similar setup to all the other plastic add ons that will turn your Wii remote into a tennis raquet, gun, or whatever.

The light saber is only $31 and has this eery blue glow. The saber uses  3 AA batteries which are not included which then powers 22 LEDs. This isn't quite like the real light sabers in Star Wars, but it'll have to do.

If you do pick it up, be sure to video tape yourself doing the Star Wars Kid. I'm sure the internet will love you for it.

 
 

Nintendo has been recently on fire for not being able to meet the demand for the Nintendo Wii. The video game console has been practically sold out of the entire year and no end in site. Nintendo originally intended for a production of 1.2 million units a month which is a very large number. However, they quickly realized this aggressive plan wasn't even enough.

Now they are scrambling with everything they can get their hands trying to produce more Nintendo Wiis. The production has now risen to 1.8 million consoles per month which is a nice 600,000 increase. The real question is whether these new consoles will reach consumers by Christmas. The answer is probably not. It seems that many people will be buying their Wiis after Christmas if they haven't already purchased another console like the Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3.

 
 

That's right, it's been exactly one year since the launch of the Nintendo Wii and it's been a beautiful year indeed for Nintendo. This may not be so true for everyone who is currently looking for one, but at least we know the Nintendo Wii is one popular console. The demand for the Nintendo Wii has been out of this world and continues to grow. There is no way in knowing when the supply will meet the demand right now.

It all started with the Nintendo Revolution announcement over a year ago. It was a decent looking console that wasn't that powerful, but Nintendo hinted at some special thing. Then they changed the name of the console to Nintendo Wii. Many people hated and many people didn't care, but either way, it created a tremendous amount of media.

The final answer is that Nintendo has done everything almost perfectly this time around. The Gamecube didn't so well, but the Wii has completely made up for it. Congratulations Nintendo!
