After setting up the console to my HDTV I started looking at the design of the whole setup. The console is small, it does not take up much space and is a little larger than a standard DVD case. Thats a huge plus because the other consoles (Play Station 3 and Xbox 360) are fairly large and bigger than a standard DVD player. It has a SD slot, and 4 slots on the top (for the classic controller sold separately to play older games that are down-loadable for a fee). So far so good, the console is white, looks sharp, seems solid, and small. After a brief read of the will manual, the sensor bar can be placed on top or bottom of the TV to pick up the signal of the wireless controller, or Wii remote. The sensor bar has two sticker pads that can be placed on the top of the tv so it doesn't fall off, to me that is a well thought out design, and if you want to put the sensor bar on the sensor bar stand, it also includes two sticky pads as well.
Next, the wii remote and nun-chuck. The wii remote fits well and the buttons are easily accessed by the layout of our hand. The remote has a long rectangular shape with a trigger on the bottom for your index finger, and a main round button for your thump. At the base of the remote it has round buttons labeled '1' and '2' in a vertical order. Above those buttons are three buttons in a horizontal format labeled '-', then a button with a picture of a home or house, followed by a '+' button. The remote comes with a clear silicone jacket with a denser top end, and the remote has a strap on the bottom so you don't accidentally throw the remote. There is a slot on the bottom of the remote where the nun-chuck connects, at the connection point on the nun-chuck it has a clear locking mechanism in which you take the rope from the strap and lock it into the nun-chuck. This insures that the two remotes stay together and connected. The nun-chuck is made to fit into your hand almost in the same style a gun would, however there in a joy-stick on the top, and one button for your trigger finger. Because of the layout of both controllers, it does not matter if you are right of left handed.

Next week I will discuss actually turning on the console and discussing its features without play a game!
