Wii Remote
The Wii Remote (Japanese: Wiiリモコン Hepburn: Wī Rimokon), also known colloquially as the Wiimote, is the primary controller for Nintendo's Wii console. A main feature of the Wii Remote is its motion sensing capability, which allows the user to interact with and manipulate items on screen via gesture recognition and pointing through the use of accelerometer and optical sensor technology. Another feature is its expandability through the use of attachments. The attachment bundled with the Wii console is the Nunchuk, which complements the Wii Remote by providing functions similar to those in gamepad controllers. Some other attachments include the Classic Controller, Wii Zapper, and the Wii Wheel, originally used for Mario Kart.
The controller was revealed at the Tokyo Game Show on September 14, 2005, with the name "Wii Remote" announced April 27, 2006. It has since received much attention due to its unique features and the contrast between it and typical gaming controllers.
The Wii's successor console, the Wii U, supports the Wii Remote and its peripherals in games where use of the features of the Wii U GamePad is not imperative.

In Shock
by: Kristin HershPinned by a dream state
You are fearless
And your empty arms
Waiting for no one
You wanted to be wanted
When you're head over heels
In shock
And the little green apples falling around you
Party to this party
You are blameless
Ask a question
You get an earful
You are wanted you are wanted
When you're head over heels
In shock
And the little green apples falling around you
When you're head over heels
In shock
And the little green apples falling around you
In the darkest room
Where the music's loud
The mouth you're seeking finds your mouth
We are wanted we are wanted
When you're head over heels
In shock
And the little green apples falling around you
When you're head over heels
In shock
