These movements of the gamer are transferred to the character’s movement in the game. No competitor of Nintendo has introduced such a remote with any videogame as yet. The Wii remote is the feature which has made this video game console such a great success in the market.

Along with the remote, the nunchuks are also a very fascinating feature of this video game. This feature is also capable of detecting movement and translating it into the character’s movement.
