...The Super mario bros are a part of videogame royalty since their creation by Nintendo. When the first Nintendo came out in the mid 1980s it was incredibly successful, but it actually took a while to catch on. The very first Nintendo games didnt really offer anything different than what was already on the market from gaming companies like Atari. It wasnt until they released the game Super mario Bros that the Nintendo really exploded on the scene with their first council system, and only then did they achieve icon status concerning 1980s entertainment.

Christmas Gift Ideas - Video Games

...Every Christmas we get a new batch of video games as Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony try to sell us their gaming systems. Every year kids want the latest and greatest, along with that killer game which will make their Christmas complete, so this year I thought I'd do a quick rundown of the top 10 video games for Christmas.

Every family has different needs and different tastes, so I'm going to split this up into "family games" and "adult/older teen games". For the most part, Nintendo seems to have a lock on the good honest fun of family games this year, but there some good family games which are common to all three systems.

Next-Gen Console Focus: Nintendo wii - And then there were Three - I mean wii

...ire new console. A completely cordless, motion-controlled remote that knows how you are moving it and can translate that movement on-screen to the game so you can use it as a baton for concerts, a sword or staff for battle, a gun for shooting, a laser-pointer for targeting, whatever you can think of as a controller, the wii remote can be it. The wii remote runs off standard AA batteries and according to the specifications, a pair of batteries can run the controller for 30 hours under full use, or 60 hours on standby. Not too bad for cordless with force-feedback capability and long-term memory storage on the controller. Each remote can store a Mii avatar, which is designed on the wii and can be transported to different wii consoles for gameplay among friends. Some games will use the Mii avatar as the player's onscreen character. The remote also has a built-in speaker that will be integrated into some games to provide more realistic sound for gameplay, such as stringing and shooting an arrow from a bow.

The games coming for the wii look to be quite good - especially having access to the classic Nintendo games through the downloadable Virtual Console channel on the console. At release, Nintendo expects to have legend of Zelda, Super...more
