The Wii's disc slot reads both the new 12 cm Wii discs but is also backwards compatible with GameCube games. Older games are available through the shop channel with Wii points, each roughly equal to one penny, by direct download. NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, and TurboGrafx games can all be downloaded for a set amount of points each. The controller, officially named the Wii Remote but dubbed the "Wiimote" by fans, is shaped similarly to a TV remote control with built in accelerometers whose movements are received by a Sensor Bar placed on the TV. There is an expansion port for added controllers including the Nunchuk, the Classic Controller, and the Wii Zapper. The system was designed primarily to snag typical non-gamer demographics. Ease of control, affordable price, and more widely appealing games were priorities to expand the player base.
