Nintendo Wii

Advantages: Great Fun, Good Exersize
Disadvantages: Graphics Maybe

...I think that the Nintendo Wii is one of the better consoles on the market for the family as they are lots of competitive games available on it to interest all the family, including Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wario Wares and Mario Party just to name a few. The Wii Fit is an interactive console that stimulates gameplay by using movement instead of just button bashing, the graphics arent always as good on the Wii as they are on the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 but I as a bit of an old school gamer think that this is one of the charms that the Wii holds in its simplicity. You play Wii games with your Wii remote that is senitive to movement as long as you have the receiver near by to receive the signal from the remote, this normally sits discretley on top of the TV that you are playing Wii on. You can customize your Wii remote by buying...

  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

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...

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 is a truly unique gaming experience

Advantages: Intuative gaming experience, accessible to a variety of gamers, plenty of extra features.
Disadvantages: Will have to look slightly harder to compensate for the hardcore nintendo fans

...It is no surprise that Nintendo currently have one of the most successful computer game products out there right now. It appeals to a vast audience including children, teenagers and adults alike - something which has never quite been acheived in the computer gaming world before. Not only this, but it is arguably the most revolutionary and unique entertainment system, a view bolstered by the overwhelming presence the Wii has in the computer game market. But what is so unique about the Wii? The Wii is not like any consoles before it. The most striking feature is the lack of a standard handeheld controller. The use of a " wiimote ", or a wireless handheld remote that is used as a pointer to play games with is extremely intuative and easy to use, whilst allowing a more immersive gaming experience. Wether you will be swinging a simulated...

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

The nintendo wii - a good buy?

Advantages: great fun, good family games, addictive, updates avaliable, classic n64, nes games
Disadvantages: bad support, requires patience

...We are currently living in a world that is changing ever so fast. Technology is improving every so often and the consumer has to make careful desicions about what to buy where to buy it and and what price. When the nintendo wii was launched i researched prices for the console. I foudn that many different companies offer different prices and luckily i found a shop that was trustworty and reliable - the price was great to. I reccomend shopping around, searching on the internet or even going into your local games stores to see which business offers the best price. This can take time, but it can save you alot of money. In my opinion the nintendo wiis target market would be families or those who like new technology. The games are great for laughter and enjoyment but if you prefer real "gaming", then i passionatly reccomend that you buy...

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...

Nintendo DS Lite : 'Flipping Brilliant'

Advantages: Wide range of games, cheaper than consoles, portable and light weight.
Disadvantages: Cannot play films, store or play music on the DS unlike the Sony PSP console

...The Nintendo DS Lite is a portable gaming system with two screens that have been vertically alligned, one at the top and one at the bottom. On the bottom is a touch screen that allows you to use a stylus pen for selecting options to playing games. There's also the standard direction buttons, located to the left of the bottom screen, and standard X, Y, A, B buttons along with Start and Select Buttons- all of which are located to the right of the bottom screen,. The Nintendo DS games come on a cartridge format and cost anything between £10-£25. The main advantage of the Nintendo DS Games over the Sony PSP games is the loading times are much quicker this is mainly because the cartridges are smaller in capacity to the UMD Discs. The Nintendo DS has been made much smaller than the original DS, the dimensions of the new console are 0...
