The Game Wave Family Entertainment System is hybrid DVD player and video game console of the seventh generation of video game consoles. Unlike more traditional game consoles (such as the Wii, PS3 or Xbox 360) the Game Wave is aimed at a more family friendly market: a majority of its games are trivia based or video versions of more traditional games (such as variants of Scrabble and Blackjack). The Gamewave can connect up to 6 controllers (which look like TV remotes) but comes with 4. Each controller has a different colour (yellow, red, blue, green, purple, and orange) to help players tell them apart. It comes with a case that can hold all 6 remotes and a copy of 4 Degrees: The Arc of Trivia, Vol. 1. Image File history File linksMetadata No higher resolution available. ...

At a price tag of only $110 USD, the Game Wave is less expensive than its higher-profile competitors. The games and two extra remotes are both $26 USD. The open/close button is a bit irresponsive and may take a few tries to open the disc tray. Because of its low profile and lack of advertising, it is not regarded as a "true" console by some video gamers. It is mostly available only at Toys R' Us, and Zapit's own online store.
