Which video game console is better: PlayStation 3 or Wii? – Part 2

The Nintendo Wii, a gaming system for all ages. Now I have nothing against the Playstation 3 but the Wii is for hardcore gamers and beginners all alike while a it's kind of hard for a small child to play a PS3. Beginning the proud owner of a Wii. I know it's not only fun but you also get a good work out if playing games like Wii sports or Wii fit. The PS3 just involves sitting on your butt and where is the fun in that.

PS3 may have a blu-ray but what is the point if you have an HD T.V. On the other the Nintendo Wii has the ability to play games from all your favorite classic consoles like the Nintendo Entertainment system to the Nintendo 64. The Wii also has great feature which is to make your own virtual self called a Mii.

The Mii is also used also in a great variety of games like Wii Fit, Guitar Hero World Tour, Mario Kart Wii, Wii play, Wii Music and, many more! The Playstation 3 is a good system but it is the priciest one out there. PS3 prices range from 399.99 to 499.99 where as the Wii is only 249.99. Wii has many fun features such as Wii channels. The Wii channels are available for purchase from the Wii shop store.

There are channels such as the Internet channel(500 Wii points; $5.00), the Check Mii Out channel which allows to enter your Miis in to contest and download other people's Miis, the Photo Channel allows you to edit your very own photos you took which your digital camera and many more. All the Playstation 3 has is PS home which is just an avatar in a very small virtual world. The PS3 also has no backward compatibility with the PS2 (that feature was removed) to save money.

Just because the PS3 has the PS network does not mean anything just rent a movie from netflix. I personally feel that the Playstation 3 was also poorly made but that's besides the point. I'm just here to say that if you want fun and great times for the entire family get the Nintendo Wii. The Playstation 3 on the other hand is a good game system but not a great due to it's price limited family fun. Thank you for reading my article and hope you make the right choice and choose a great system not only for but the whole family.

Super Mario – a Short History

Andy L asked:


Super Mario is a classic game series created by Nintendo Entertainment System. It stars an Italian plumber called Mario and his brother Luigi. In most of the games, players are required to finish each level to be able to proceed to the other. In one of the games, the objective of it is to save Princess Peach from the hands of Bowser which is the ruler of the Koopas. The game could be played by two players as well as one.

Super Mario Bros could be considered one of the most successful games ever created as it has more than 40 million copies of it sold. This game may be the backbone of Nintendo’s success in the gaming world as it survived during the video game crash during the 1980s. Due to the overwhelming success of Super Mario, the Mario Brothers are officially Nintendo’s highest known mascot. Even its theme music is well known by a lot of people. It has been well used by a lot of video games as well.

There are additional items that would aid them with their quests. By collecting 100 coins, the life of the character would be increased by one. By collecting a certain mushroom, the characters will turn larger and these characters would be called Super Mario or Luigi. These characters are able to take two hits before losing one of their lives. There are numerous other "upgrades" available and should only require you to check them out by playing the games. Players would also be playing in different worlds where each world has its own sub-level as well. At the last world and at the last level, they would then fight the last boss and victory would mean the end of the game.

Super Mario also has a lot of versions released by Nintendo. Though the graphic gets slightly better by each of the new version coming out, the game play stays the same. The game might be the one that you play just to kill time. Other than that, it may not be so interesting.

However, there are also car racing games that are starred by characters available in the Mario games. You can find these racing games in arcades. The graphics of it are also much better. You can choose your driver and get upgrades and keep track of them in a card which is available for you to buy on the machine itself. It is very enjoyable to play it with your friends and family members or even just by yourself.

Super Mario games are available in a lot of platform such as the GameBoy Advance, Famicom Disk System, NES and many others. There are also flash game versions of Super Mario available for download. Checkout Mario Games Online for free online games to play.
