SNES Games Controllers

...ontroller had twice as many buttons on the face as the original NES controller and twin shoulder buttons as well. The Super Nintendo controller set the stage for the future controllers as we can see now a days video game consoles. The style of the Super Nintendo controller brought options to the SNES games that would otherwise not be possible. One of the most popular SNES games made was Street Fighter II and was probably one of the most popular console games ever invented. Each and every button on the controller was not only used but necessary. It was so nicely arranged for the game that it was truly a new experience. Super Nintendo controller was vital to the game play. Street Fighter II wouldnt have been the same exciting game w...more

Video Games

... video game industry. Granted they were not the first in the business, they are trend setters in their niche, and a force to be reckoned with.

Nintendo's latest console is called the Wii. The Nintendo Wii, or just plain Wii, is different from other game consoles in that the remote controller responds to physical movement and gestures made by the person using the controller. This is a great concept as many kids are not getting enough exercise due to wanting to sit in front of the televis...more

Christmas Wii Availability - How To Find a Wii This Christmas

... to around $400. Another strategy is to purchase a used Wii in good condition, as you can get a pretty good price on this.

If you compare the higher prices to the other video game systems on the market such as the Xbox 360 or the PS3 which are over $400 each, paying that much for a Wii is not a bad deal. Check out Ebay for a great listing of auctions, but as always be careful not to get scammed. When demand is short scammers tend to really be on the prowl. Here is a list of 3 things to be aware of when shopping on Ebay for a Wii.

1. Buy only from sellers with some buyer feedback. You can easily check on a buyer's feedback by the star next to the sellers name. If they have no feed...more

Playstation 3 Review

... come out are graphically parallel to the Xbox 360, despite being only first generation. However the games that are of any interest tend to be ports from the Xbox which is pretty bad. Things are slowly smoothing out though, sales are getting closer to that annoying white block Nintendo calls a console.

What amazes me is that Sony are rumored to have terrible software development kits and this makes it harder for the 3rd party developers to make games for them. THQ recently announced that some games for the PlayStation 3 will have better graphics than the Xbox 360, this carries about as much weight as saying the Xbox is made by Microsoft. It's obvious and inevitable as 3rd parties continue to improve their knowledge of the super console. Games which will cause sales surges are coming out in the near future including MGS4, GT5, Little Big Planet, Home (despite not being a game) and GTA4 (although this is not exclusive). I am expecting some killer new games to be out to take the wind out of even the mighty Wii. So the square wheel is starting to smooth out, with the year of the PlayStation 3 upon us then we may be seeing a new king to the console war, knocking the Wii off its long held platform with its rather annoying exercise games.

Conclusion: This large, stylish powerhouse is gaining momentum, despite having square wheels. In theory this is going to be a big year for the PlayStation 3, a spokesperson has officially announced there will be no price cuts in the near future, more downloadable content and a rather bold content from Sony saying that the year 2008 is the "key year" for the PlayStation 3 and that in this year we will see "everything that we've got" looks like Sony has some big things planned. With MGS4, GT5 making a possible appearance, Little Big Planet, Home and many other exciting exclusives the PlayStation 3 may just have one hell of a year and may have the legendary "Out of Stock" status which has been here with Sony's other two consolesmore
