Why Are There No Nintendo Wii Bundles
Planning to buy a Nintendo Wii? Planning to save some cash and purchase a Nintendo Wii bundle which would include the unit and a packaged software title? The bundles for the Xbox 360 (with no less than Halo 3 and Fable 2 as bonus games) and the many bundles for the Sony Playstation 3 are surely very attractive, but you want a Nintendo Wii and you want a Nintendo Wii bundle.

20 Years After – Is A Nintendo Game Boy Still Worth The Purchase In 2010
Anyone above the age of 25 will have fond memories of the Nintendo Game Boy. It is, after all, the very first portable video game console that allowed users to change games on the fly. Before the Nintendo Game Boy arrived, gamers were stuck with “fixed” portable gaming systems, i.e. handhelds which only played one game.
The Nintendo Game Boy was a technological marvel during its time. Released in 1989, 4 years after its bigger cousin, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) took over the Western World and changed the way we lived, the Nintendo Game Boy possessed the same processing power as the NES, albeit, displayed grayscale tones because of the limits of its LCD screen during those times. Cartridges were sold separately, with most games during the first few months of the system being downgraded ports of NES titles.
To say that the Nintendo Game Boy was a success would be an understatement. The first iteration of the handheld, along with its second, improved version: the Game Boy Color, sold almost 120 million units all over the world.
How Much Money Is The Nintendo Wii Requiring From Video Gamers
Why is it important to know how much money is the Nintendo Wii requiring from video gamers?
It’s because the cost of the hardware is one of the primary factors that ultimately determines the success of a gaming console.
Take, for example, the case of the Sony Playstation 3. The 60GB version demanded a $599price at launch. I slightly inferior version with a 20GB hard drive was also sold for $499. These costs are very prohibitive for most video gamers, many of which belong to the adolescent and young adult demographics who either are not yet earning their own money or are not yet earning enough money to support their hobbies.
Is PS2 Backward Compatibility Coming Back To PS3 Consoles
For many gamers, Sony “fanboys” included, the company’s biggest sin is removing PS2 backward compatibility from PS3 consoles.
When the Sony Playstation 3 was first released, one of its features was the ability to play Playstation 2 games flawlessly. This wasn’t like the Xbox 360’s backward compatibility with Xbox games which was emulation-powered, hence, subject to compatibility issues. Backward compatibility with PS2 games for PS3 consoles was perfect. PS3 consoles were able to play any PS2 games without fault.
This feature was removed gradually. Newer models introduced limited backward compatibility which was software-powered. The models after that removed backward compatibility altogether.
The Gameboy DS Lite Legacy Titles That Transcend Generations
The Nintendo Game Boy and the Nintendo DS Lite are two different units. Some would even say that they are two different generations, as each has arguably defined the years that they have conquered.
