"As the Wii Fit balance board becomes set to take over living rooms everywhere, we take a look back at Nintendo's quirky peripheral past."
This hardcore gamer grandma has put nearly 4,000 days into Wii Fit!
The NPD Group has revealed the top 10 best-selling exclusives in the U.S. since 1995, and Nintendo holds all 10 spots.
And the #1 game on this list is also the #1 game (and accessory) to be found at the local goodwill.
Take a look at the 50 best selling games of all time https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
Nintendo has always had the most mass appeal, my Mother would play Mario.
There's landslides and then there's this. Wouldn't be surprised if the top 50 was mostly Nintendo games.
VGChartz's William D'Angelo: "Today we take a look at the top 10 best-selling games for yet another platform. Up to this point we have looked at the original PlayStation, the Nintendo 64, the PlayStation 2, the original Xbox, the GameCube, the Nintendo DS, and the PSP. This week it's the turn of Nintendo's most popular home console, the Wii.
The Wii is the fifth best-selling video game platform in history and the third best-selling home console in gaming history. It is also the best-selling home console not released by Sony. It sold 101.18 million units lifetime."
Just like the DS list, every game on the Wii's list has sold over 10 million. Not even PS1 and PS2 did that. That's very incredible
Nintendo certainly has created a bewildering area of peripherals for its various consoles. I just saw the AVGN's video about some of them and though the list was extensive, and surprising, I'm now startled to find there are more.
It makes you wonder if Nintendo keeps a bunch of mad scientists in the basement for construction and development of it's peripherals.
I dont care, i still love nintendo!
Oh Nintendo, so good and making random crap that doesn't really enhance the experience whatsoever...
It seems as though Nintendo focuses first and foremost on making something look like it will do everything you dream it would. They worry about adding actual functionality later. I'll admit, Wii bowling is pretty dead on, but on the same disk, Wiiboxing seems completely random.
right?
