Benefits of playing video games – Part 1

There are a great many benefits of playing video games especially on the Nintendo Wii which makes you get up and move in order to play the games. That does not mean that other consoles do not have benefits but as i know more about the Nintendo Wii than any of the other consoles that is the console i will be centering on in this article.

The main benefit for the Nintendo Wii (benefits that no other console can effectively compete against) is the exorcise you will get by simply standing up and swinging you controller as if it were a tennis racket. Exorcise is going to be made even easier on Nintendo Wii with the release of a new Game called WiiFIT, I have yet to play this game and am looking forward to purchasing it.

Many other benefits for the Nintendo Wii include your Hand Eye Co-ordination which you need to improve in order to play almost all the games released on Nintendo Wii. However, even with truly terrible hand eye co-ordination you could play most games on this console at some level to play the games well you need good hand eye co-ordination.

One of my personal favorite benefits for the Nintendo Wii is how it brings all the members of your family together. The most of the games are not Gender based so members of either Gender can play and enjoy most games, which is great as most of my family are female i don't really fancy sitting down and playing Harvest Moon for hours on end. The Games like Wii Sports which i can enjoy playing with my sisters and they also enjoy so these games can bring the whole family together having fun for hours on end.

There are also games such as Big Brain Academy that get you thinking and stimulate your brain so Video Games are getting slightly educational (although not much) it would be great to see a game designed for youngsters to learn from in a fun way. Games that stimulate the mind may be few and far between but, when one comes along i always try to play it Big Brain Academy may be better on the Nintendo DS but the version released on Nintendo Wii is highly addictive in the same way as that of the DS version.

The photo software on the Nintendo Wii is also a large benefit as i have no way to get pictures from my Mobile to my computer. I can now simply take my memory card out of my Mobile insert it into the Nintendo Wii and send the picture in an email to my normal email address and download it to my computer from there. This may not be the easiest way (i could just get a memory card reader and plug it into a USB port) of getting a picture on to my computer but it works well for me and i do not intend to do it differently until i purchase a new computer (with a card reader built in).

In conclusion with more and more benefits of Video Gaming being included into new games i think that gaming is being taken to a whole new level. I do not think that Gaming can ever take over a long walk in terms of healthy exorcise but the enjoyment of Video Games is becoming more movement based which can only be a good thing.
