Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which company makes the Wii?

Answer: Nintendo

The Wii is a revolutionary system that has sold out in nearly all stores after its release. The Wii is so popular, because anyone can play it, not just hardcore gamers. Its easy control makes the game easy, basic, and fun for anyone who has never played a video game before.

2. When was the Wii released in North America?

Answer: November 19, 2006

When the Wii hit stores, it was an instant hit. People stood in line for hours to receive a Wii. In fact, by April 2007, only 6 months after the Wii was relesed, it had sold nearly 6 million units.

3. How much did the Wii cost in the United States of America when it first came out?

Answer: 250 dollars

Another reason that the Wii sold so many copies, is because of its affordable price. It cost much less than Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3.

4. How many Wii-motes and Nunchuks does each Wii come with if you buy a default package?

Answer: 1 Wii-mote, 1 Nunchuk

The Wii has a possible 4 controller slots. All Wii games require a Wii-mote and most require a Nunchuk.

5. There are wireless Wii-motes.

Answer: True

In fact, all Wii-motes are wireless! If they did have wires, it would be difficult to use them, since the Wii requires moving around.

6. What special feature does the Wii have that Sony tried to duplicate with its PlayStation 3, but wasn't as successful?

Answer: Motion sensing

The motion sensing system on the Wii allows the Wii to recognize your movements, and have the characters in the game duplicate them. The PlayStation 3 has some simplistic motion sensing functions used in the Sixaxis controllers.

7. Which of the following games was not a launch title for the Wii?

Answer: "Wario Ware: Smooth Moves"

"Wario Ware: Smooth Moves" was released on January 15, 2007. The rest of the games were launched the day that the Wii was, November 19, 2006.

8. Which of the following does NOT come with the Wii in a standard package?

Answer: Wii-mote skin covers

The Wii-mote skin covers currently can be bought in seperate packages. They decorate your Wii-mote, and make it less slippery, to prevent accidents.

9. Which of the following does not belong on the Wii?

Answer: "Halo 2"

Halo 2 is on the Xbox. All of the other games are Wii titles.

10. There have been cases of Wii-motes slipping out of hands and breaking television sets.

Answer: True

Nintendo had to recall over 3 million Wiis, because the wrist strap was breaking, allowing the Wii-mote to slip out of people's hands and crash into the television. Nintendo made the plastic protecting the strap from breaking stronger, and put warnings in the instruction booklet about proper usage of the Wii-mote.
