Introduction
The Wii is a home video game console released by Nintendo. A distinguishing feature of the console is its wireless controller, the Wii Remeote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and detect movement in three dimensions
Wii Remote & Nunchuk
The Wii Remote, sometimes nicknamed "Wiimote", is the primary controller for Nintendo's Wii console. A main feature of the Wii Remote is its motion sensing capability, which allows the user to interact with and manipulate items on screen via movement and pointing through the use of accelermeter and optical sensor technology. Another feature is its expandability through the use of attachments.
The Nunchuk (model number RVL-004) is the first controller attachment Nintendo revealed for the Wii Remote. It connects to the Wii Remote via a cord that is about 1 to 1.2m long. Its appearance when attached resembles the nunchaku, hence the name. It features an analog stick and two trigger buttons. It works in tandem with the main controller in many games. Like the Wii Remote, the Nunchuk also provides a three-axis accelerometer for motion-sensing and tilting, but without a speaker, a rumble function, or a pointer function.
Wii Zapper
The Wii Zapper is a gun shell peripheral for the Wii Remote. The name is a reference to the NES Zapper light gun for the Nintendo Entertainment System. According to an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, the idea of a Zapper-type expansion formed when the Wii Remote was first created. He expressed that "What we found is that the reason we wanted to have a Zapper is when you hold a Wii Remote, it can be difficult for some people to keep a steady hand. And holding your arm out like that can get your arm somewhat tired.

Wii Balance Board with silicon jacket
The Wii Balance Board is a balance board accessory for Wii. It is shaped like a household body scale, with a plain white top and light grey bottom. The board is wireless and contains multiple pressure sensors that are used to measure the user's center of balance—the location of the intersection between an imaginary line drawn vertically through the center of mass and the surface of the Balance Board—and body mass index. In an interview conducted by gaming web site IGN, Shigeru Miyamoto stated that the Balance Board's ability to measure weight is probably more accurate than that of a typical bathroom scale.
