The Wii^[1], also known as Codename Revolution is Nintendo's fifth home gaming console, and was competing with the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 in the seventh generation of video games. The console was first released in late 2006. The main input for the console is the controller, called the Wii Remote which has motion and tilt sensitivity, and a plug for control extensions on the bottom. The console has an installment in the Animal Crossing series series, titled City Folk released on November 16^th, 2008 (December 5^th for PAL regions). While City Folk was released specifically for the Wii, players can also play the original Animal Crossing on the Wii due to its backwards compatibility. Japanese players can also play Animal Forest+ and Animal Forest e+ on their Wii consoles.
