Photos: Nintendo Wii swings into action

Most of the interest surrounding Nintendo's Wii system has been about its new wireless controllers. It's a two-handed motion-sensitive system that allows players to mimic actions on-screen with the movement of their hands. Gamers can throw balls or thrust their swords by using the motion of their arms instead of just pressing their thumbs.

The wireless Wii Remote can be waved, it rumbles and even contains a speaker.

The Nunchuck controller complements the Wii Remote and eliminates some of the odd movements needed in the current generation of joysticks. For example, if you are a quarterback in a football game, you can evade tacklers with the Nunchuck controller and throw a pass with the remote.
