Get into the action

Get into the action

With Nintendo's Wii console, motion-sensitive controllers put players in the game.

How the controllers work

1.) Remote: Contains tilt sensor to detect movement angle and accelerometer to detect speed

2.) Sensor bar: Commumicates with remote to detect where it is pointed

3.) "Nunchuk": Used with remote for more control; for example, in a shooting game, "nunchuk" moves person, remote fires gun

For a start, what does "Get into the action" refer to in the above?

Second, does "Remote" in the above amount to "Remote control/controller?" Thanks.
