The Wm.

"We are excited to be one of the first to extend this new technology to our consumers by offering a free collection of our award-winning Candystand.com gaming content that is compatible with the Wii."

The infrared technology in the Wii Remote[TM] O or "Wiimote" O makes playing games like Juicy Fruit([R]) Out of Bounds Tennis a truly interactive experience. Equipped with the intuitive control system, the user merely points the Wiimote at the TV and guides the racquet across the screen with a simple swing of the arm.
