Has Wii Started A Gaming Revolution

Remember the days when you used to sit in front of the computer and bash away at the keys playing the latest game. When game consoles first came along the excitement about he future of gaming was well lets say less than enthusiastic. At the time no one ever imagined how far gaming would go and how big it would become.

When the Nintendo first arrived in the shops the games were pretty basic and basically mimicked the games available to play in the arcades. As the game console evolved the gaming ideas became more unique and games were being developed for the abilities of the game consoles themselves rather than porting the latest arcade game into a console were it didn't always translate that well.

With the release of the Nintendo Wii a whole new family gaming experience was born. Rather than going for the latest wow graphics and sound they concentrated on fun and playability. If you were having fun playing a game that was fun then it wouldn't matter too much if the graphics were not life like. In fact the cartoon graphics of many of the Wii games makes it more endearing.

As the Wii developed a whole new generation got into gaming including the parents and even grandparents who would have never considered playing games. The Wii provided more challenging and competitive multi player games where the fun was that you were playing against each other. This whole interactive idea of families spending time together soon caught on.

Soon after Nintendo released the Wii Fit. The Wii Fit built on the already established family gaming aspect of the Wii but addressed the other major concern about games consoles. Thee was growing concern that out children were becoming more sedentary and not getting the exercise they would if they were playing outside.

The Wii Fit added a whole new sporting and fitness aspect to the games where you had to use your whole body to play the games. The idea was that you would be getting exercise without realising it. The Wii Fit has become a hit and has also attracted more girls onto the gaming market with more games that would be more appealing to women.

You can now get Wii Fit accessories for your Nintendo Wii that allows you to play many different games such as skiing, yoga, hula hoops and many other sporting and exercise based games. More games are being developed all the time including games that are less sports based but still require the same level of physical activity to play.

The future generation of video game consoles

In the world today we have so many consoles, like the PS3, Nintendo Wii and the XBox 360.

The technology is brilliant and many people are buying them worldwide and are enjoying them, furthermore the consoles these days do more than playing games, they can play videos, surf the net and play music.

But there are future consoles to come out like the PS4 but what might be in the console, will people enjoy it like the existing consoles. One of the features I would like on a console is that you can create and edit your work so you can play and work in one place, moreover it would be a great hit if it had a feature like that, because it spreads to a wider audience meaning more people would buy the actual console.

The future consoles, will most probably make the game look realistic but the PS3 and XBOX 360 have already done that, for example NFS Undercover, the graphics looks realistic and looks like the real world.

However, there is one problem with the PS3, it is that sometimes it overheats, so on the PS4 they should make it less likely to overheat in the future.

Technology is advancing everyday and the consoles are one way of showing it, like the graphics, hard disk and all the features, in the past it all used to be black and white and you could only play games, then it moved on and there was colours but it was all pixels. But today it is all smooth and everything looks real.

There is another problem, the price, when the PS3 came out it was nearly 300 but if there is a new console, how much will it cost. It might be a failure if no-one buys it, but the console might be good but people might not be able to afford it even middle classes people.

However, although the price was high on the PS3 more than 16 million got sold however more than 20 million Xbox 360's got sold round the world but the Nintendo Wii was the most popular and it is going to be more popular with the wii fit which was introduced this year (2008).

I think that gaming has become something in the everyday life and everyone enjoys, even young and old people enjoy it (because of the Nintendo Wii). Nearly everyone talks about it, in school, work or on the street.

The future of gaming will be extraordinary and it will make the real life come to the screen, people from young to old will be playing and talking. Sometimes it brings family and friends more closer together. Consoles arent just for gaming anymore, it is more.

Which video game console is better: PlayStation 3 or Wii? – Part 19

I think the Wii is better then the Playstation 3 because you have more exercise playing the Wii then the Playstation 3 and every other system. So for the people who don't like going outside and getting exercise and plying video games the whole day can play the Wii and get exercise. The Nintendo Wii only costs $249.99 and the Playstation 3 costs are $499.99 and $599.99. So you get more exercise and a lower price if you buy the Wii. At first my parents didn't want to get me the Wii but when they saw it they bought it and they started playing all the time. They liked it because it gave them exercise and kept them in good shape. For everyone who likes playing video games and doesn't want to go outside if you play the Wii you are playing video games but at the same time it feels like you are playing outside.

Benefits of playing video games – Part 4

I believe certain video games allow you to have a benefit because video games give you creativity. It takes you to a place you could never go in real life. Video games are like dreams that come to life on a T.V screen. These days there are video games that express somebody's dream in the world. There are games that you play on the new Wii made by Nintendo. Wii is probably the best Nintendo has every done because everybody can play Wii. An I mean exactly get to be part of the game like your exactly doing the driving, the flying, the sword fights with your control. I read in last months ESx I believe that is the name of the magazine. Anyways, it has a survey of senior citizens that played Wii an really enjoyed it. They said they would of whether be playing this video games instead of knitting. I believe they liked it so much because they could drive, fly, or get around as good as they use to. So they really enjoyed being able to do all those things they use to even if it was on a screen. It felt better than real life because it was fantasy I think dreams and fantasy are better than real life. All these games really take you to what you consider your dream come true. I mean you get the benefit of being entertained most likely never bored that is for sure. I mean I have played many video games in my life. I prefer the Super Nintendo which was the video game I ever played an got hooked on it. I stayed up all not playing Super Mario Bros. The best game I feel that has every came out. My benefit from that one though was just being a kid an having something to do on Friday nights and after homework time.
