Its controller is the first in a Nintendo video-game system to use a motion sensor to control games. It is capable of playing [[GameCube]] games and so can play both ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. The respective ''[[New Play Control!]]'' versions of each of these are specifically for the Wii, and use its motion controls. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' is also played on this console, which has Olimar and Pikmin as a playable character. | ||

The Wii's main controller is the Wii Remote (also known as Wiimote), which has the shape of a regular television remote. This controller has several extra peripherals, most importantly, the Nunchuk. The Wii Remote has six buttons (plus the Home ({{button|wii|home}}) button, which allows reconnection of controllers, resetting the game and other options regardless of which game is being played) and a D-Pad ({{button|wii|pad}}), as well as a pointer on the front which can tell its own position in relation to a motion sensor (placed in front of the television set) and motion detection technology. The Nunchuk can be connected and disconnected from the Wii Remote and has two triggers, the Z ({{button|wii|z}}) and C ({{button|wii|c}}) buttons, as well as an analog stick ({{button|wii|stick}}), but limited motion detection. | The Wii's main controller is the Wii Remote (also known as Wiimote), which has the shape of a regular television remote.
