Great work is being done to narrow the gap between the technical haves and the have-nots across the planet. At MIT, Professor Nicholas Negroponte seeks to equip every child in the developing world with a laptop. In Kenya, the government is supporting assembly of inexpensive PCs as part of university curricula, ultimately designating those computers for distribution throughout the African continent.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
Different point of views than most on this site. Most are saying how Nintendo is killing the industry, but this points out (withouth saying it) 360 and PS3 are really making the gameing world into a smaller niche. Sure they have multi-features and intense graphics and whatever else you want to say about them. In the end they are making it imposible for new comers or even people from last gen in the dust. Not everyone can understand how some of those features work on the console. Not everyone can afford the console (yes even the 360). Not everyone wants/needs HD gaming yet. So really is it Nintendo that's ruining it or keeping it alive with new customers? Heh don't get me wrong now I like all 3 but you have to admit anyone can pick up the Wii Remote and play some games. Not everyone can pick up the 360/PS3 controler and play some of those games.
