How Nintendo Revolutionized Gaming

Consoles and games have been around for almost two decades now; they are probably one of the fastest growing industries in the world. But saying this, who has really given us the innovative ideas to the gaming world? I can honestly say that it has to be Nintendo.

Nintendo have been on a downfall for years now, with outdated consoles, that just could not meet there superior competition. This being said, when Nintendo unveiled the Wii, it was not only loved by the critics but also adored by the audience who could not get enough of it.

Nintendo's slump began after the major success of there Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Just as the next generation of consoles began releasing CDs instead of cartridges, Nintendo decided to stick to the cartridges, ignoring warnings of a major market loss. As Sony's success grew, Nintendo's faded and it looked as though it was the last nail in the coffin, when they released the Nintendo GameCube, this console just could not compete with the Playstation 2 and the Xbox.

Nintendo have somehow found a way to bring them selves back to life and begin conquering again. One of the most unique aspects of there new generation console, the Nintendo Wii is the way in which games are actually played. Instead of the usual boomerang shaped controllers, the Nintendo Wii uses a motion sensor controller, which can manipulate movements in games. As well as a games console, the Wii can also be used as a fitness base. Games such as Wii Tennis will give you a great workout, as you will be running around the room trying to hit the ball.

As Nintendo's presence is now at an all time high, it looks as if its major competitors are falling behind such as the PS3 and the Xbox 360. But they are slowly recognizing this new gaming revolution and introducing wireless controllers to there players. PS3 who also discontinued the rumble control have re released this, as they now genuinely believe that users want to be part of the experience.

So what does this hold for the future of gaming? Well as the user generated bubble grows online, so does ability to create user specific game consoles. People want to be in the action, they don't just want to stare into a screen for hours on end. The gaming world is changing at a tremendous speed and Nintendo are there right from the beginning.
