Nintendo for the Wiin?

Advantages: Priced, Innovative, Masterpieces Guaranteed
Disadvantages: No Movie Playback, Narrower Game Library, Weaker Graphics

...Despite lackluster showings in the past two gaming generations, Nintendo seems to be getting their momentum back, as the Nintendo DS dominates the portable community and their newest console, the Wii, is off to a flying start. Slim, slick, innovative and readily fun, is this wee little machine really bringing us the gaming revolution? ~~The Package~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The standard Wii Package has a suggested retail price of £179, significantly less than the year-old Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. Exact figures vary as both competitors market 2 separate versions of their products, with the price difference ranging from £20 more for the Core 360, to £245 extra for the Premium PS3. It includes: - Handful of glossy booklets - Wii Remote and its 2 AA batteries - Nunchuck controller - Game, in the form of Wii Sports - The Wii...

Review of Nintendo Wii

Second times a charm nintendo!

Advantages: great new design
Disadvantages: possibly limited features?

...The Nintendo DS lite looks great plays better! the DS will be hitting UK streets on the 23rd of June in either black or white finish. When the original DS was launched people expected great things me being one of them I had worked pretty much all year for this thing but when I had it, I couldn?t help but thing there was something wrong with it. However a true blue Nintendo fan such as myself was still not put of, almost! Then it hit me this is not practical and very bulky to hold Nintendo kind of messed up here. After the popularity of the DS dropped Nintendo had to do something to save the console from extinction. The DS lite is born; now the DS really looks like it should have done first time around. Nintendo faced this problem before with the arrival of the game boy advance over the game boy. The advance another great leap...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

Nintendo Wii - The Next Generation.

Advantages: The console is Cheap, Fun to play and is fun for the whole family.
Disadvantages: The graphics let the cosole down and the controller is har dto get used to.

...INTRO Nintendo have always tried to change the gaming world, but have always been beat with microsoft and sony. Nintendo have come up with the ideas and put them in the console, but have always missed out th key features of a game console such as graphics and sound. Also Games on the Wii ahve not all been satisfactory. Because The Wii has such inovative features that the games have had to be changed so muchthat the gameplay was not always up to the top level. However the Wii has entertained many people and with the new release off wii fit and the balance board has really got people into the nintendo mood. Wii fit has made the wii capable of taking over about 50% of the fitness world. THE GOOD PARTS The Nintendo wii's revolutionary controller that offers motion - senitive gameplay options and the strap for safetey, not forgetting...

Review of Nintendo Wii

Nintendo Wii review

Advantages: Looks good, innovative, good range of games
Disadvantages: None

...The Nintendo Wii is a home video console released by Nintendo. It is Nintendo's fifth home console and a direct successor to the Gamecube. It was released in November in the US and over here the following month. Ever since word leaked out about Nintendo's new console, it had the codename of 'Revolution'. That changed after 27th April 2006, when the name was changed to 'Wii'. This change wasn't well received by some people who thought it was too childish and that Revolution was a much better name. But I have to say, after two years, it's really grown on me, and now I can't imagine the console being called Revolution! The Wii is backwards compatible with the Gamecube, meaning that you can play all your favourite Gamecube games on it. You just slide it into the slot loading optical drive and away you go. The console has 4 Gamecube...

Review of Nintendo Wii

Nintendo Wii

Advantages: Great Addictive Fun
Disadvantages: Still trying to Find any?.

...This is possibly the best console I've ever bought. With the Wii Nintendo has revolutionised Game play. The innovative use of the motion sensor controllers has changed the way we play games and opened up gaming to a whole different generation (I can't get my parents off the thing whenever we have them over to visit!!!) Yes the graphics don't compare to the PS3 or the Xbox 360 but they're not the reason you'd buy a Wii anyway. The gaming experience is second to none and one that the whole family can enjoy, Nintendo has released a great variety of games that ensure the Wii will appeal to all walks of life. We have a huge console culture in our house and I think that the Wii is turned on more than my Xbox 360 and PS3 put together speaks volumes for just how addictive the thing is! One word of warning though beware low hanging Lamp...

Review of Nintendo Wii

Nintendo DS

Advantages: Touch Screen, Affordable
Disadvantages: Bad graphics with most games

...After already owning a PSP I felt I had all the handheld gaming I needed however many of my peers owned Nintendo DS' so I thought I would buy one in conjuction with the release of Pokemon Diamond after being a big fan of the series and I liked the potential of the DS. The main reason for the DS' success has been marketing as well as affordability and game selection. The marketing campaign which is very popular with nintendo is connectivity which is extremely true with 98% of all DS games using connectivity around the world, with friends and even with a Nintendo Wii. The selection of games for the DS are great for both old and young with many ideas from looking after a pet dog to testing your brain and now you can play a guitar on it. However is you are critical on graphics then the DS is not a great console for that as only one...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

Nintendo Ds Lite

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...The Nintendo DS 'Lite' is a great portable console that comes in a range of colours for anyone who likes games made by Nintendo and other game makers who are associate with them. It has two screen's one touch and the other veiw only, this allows games to be more interactive and fun! The amazing thing about the Nintendo DS 'Lite' is that its lighter that the orginal (funny enough lol) this makes it more compact and easier to carry about. Games for the DS and also Gameboy advance games can be played on this console. Gameboy advanced games are inserted through the bottom slot on the Nintendo DS. However they do not have touch screen interactivity. Nintendo DS allows users to use a touch screen which is different to any other console on the market, this makes games more fun and interactive in some cases and is a very appealing...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

NINTENDO DS LITE

Advantages: I can communicate with friends when im on holiday
Disadvantages: nothing

...At first when I purchased the Nintendo ds lite I must admit I think I'd made a big mistake, there wasn't a lot of games available and I knew I'd get bored of it, Recently there's being a few games out and there's an internet browser which I love as you can email friends when your on holiday if the room has a wifi connection, I also love the fact the there's lots of flash cartridges available which are rewritable and I can upload msn onto the flash card and use it like I would use it on the computer. The Nintendo DS Lite, is a sleeker, Nintendo DS. The device employs innovative dual-screen and microphone-enabled gameplay as well as Wi-Fi multiplayer capabilities, allowing for a growing list of original and fun games that you can't play on any other system. It is thinner and more attractive than the earlier DS, but it still delivers...

Review of Nintendo Wii

Nintendo DS Lite

Advantages: Great gaming, light and easy to use
Disadvantages: Battery life isnt great

...Product - Nintendo DS Lite Price - Got mine for £99 4/5 Battery quality - I find I can play for half a day without any problems 3/5 Design - Small and light 4/5 Durability - I haven't broke it yet 4/5 The Nintendo DS is the updated version of the classic GameBoy by Nintendo. While the GameBoy was huge, the DS does not seem to have the same fame due to the huge popularity of the Wii. However, for a pocket games console, I would say this is the best one on the market at the moment. The shape of the console is small enough to put in a handbag, pouch or a large pocket but big enough you wont lose it. The top screen (within the lid) is a simple viewing screen, while the bottom screen is a touch sensitive pad allowing you to interact with the attached wand (which easily stores within the side of the console). This screen gives...
