== Unit aspects\Technical issues ==
*Resembles a Curvy Wii.
*Attaches to a TV set via mono A\V cables,like many other dedicated game consoles.
*Controller resembles a curvy Wii remote and is powered by two AA batteries.
*Rather than using a motion sensor,it uses an infrared sensor built in to the console. Infrared lights are built into the controllers on each side for calibration.
*Controller has a wrist strap,similar to the regular Wii remote.
*Many used consoles will display garbled video,most likely due to low production values.
*Some customers have reported brand new units refusing to turn on,probably due to faulty central processing units.
*Unlike the wii remote,the wii remote clone found with zone consoles lack sound output. Also, they do not actually implement real motion control. Instead,any motion has the same result as pressing the a button in a sports game. Because of this,many sports games have power bars to determine the power of a hit\throw.
