The Nintendo Wii is Nintendo's fifth home console, released in late 2006.

The Wii features a remote control that allows players to control actions in-game by moving the control in front of the motion-sensor.


It is capable of playing Nintendo GameCube games and so can play both Pikmin and Pikmin 2.  The respective New Play Control! versions of each of these and Pikmin 3, a future Pikmin release, 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.
