Nintendo Wii - Redefining an Industry
... a use for their Nintendo gamecube after purchasing mario Kart, Zelda, Super Smash brothers and mario sunshine. All hit titles were in-house first party development efforts.
Nintendo must be able to draw a large quantity of third party development support to their system. Publishers like Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, Take-Two, THQ, Konami, and Square Enix are a few hot publishers that produce many first-class games each year. These publishers, along with others, will be needed to furnish the console with power-packed titles to keep the system valuable in the years to come.
Keep It Fun
If Nintendo can continually keep gamers having fun with the console it will be a solid success story. Games need to take complete advantage of the controller and not develop it as an after-thought. Ported games will take longer to produce to satisfy the controller design or the game will be more frustrating than fun.
Nintendo should use their successful game titles as proving grounds for full bodied release titles. Wii Sports was a great tech-demo but each game within the bundle could be fleshed out into a stand along product. Wii Tennis and Wii Bowling are two great examples of a franchise that could draw in casual gamers.
Keep It Fresh
Nintendo has relied greatly on their franchises: mario, Zelda, Metroid and Donkey Kong. They cannot rely on these franchises to keep the system alive in an expanding market. These titles can be used to drive initial sales with a new release each year, but new innovative titles and creative new franchises must be developed to continue the sales trends.
Consumers have three strong consoles to consider purchasing with Microsoft Xbox 360 holding the lead for the titles. Sony will no doubt triple their game line by Christmas of 2007; Nintendo will have to fight to keep an edge. They may put themselves in their on niche industry of interactive entertainment but, unlike the portable Nintendo DS, they have strong competition for the home entertainment dollar.more

psp Versus The Nintendo DS
...most played game on the DS in my household is mario Cart. This game never loses its playability, no matter what system it is on.
The Sony psp is a really cool hand held game, which is suited much more for the older gamers. The psp has comparable graphics and game play, except for sports games. PSP has really excelled when it come to the sports genre. The graphics are much better and it seems like a more advanced version than what is available for DS. Game play seems to be much better on the PSP, when playing a sports game. I personally enjoy spo...more
Are Video Games Becoming Too Violent?
...ublic to produce video games which contribute to overall good of our society. I believe they have a responsibility to put out games which help our society not contribute in a negative way by making kids into degenerate thugs.
