The Gaming World's Evolution

...ty then. It was expensive and internet was meant to be accessed only at browsing centers. The 8 bit TV video game came to the cancellation for those gaming freaks. The joy of playing video games on Sundays became multifold when I was with my friends at the apartment. All of us owned a 8 bit TV video game. And everybody mastered SUPER MARIO. At one moment I thought we knew all one-ups in SUPER MARIO. Then the craze heaped upon and more catridges were bought. 76 in one was the most sought after. Everybody switched over to SUPER CONTRA.

But the problem was it never appeased gaming freaks playing cricket or some other sport on the 8 bit mode. For instance in ALLAN BORDER CRICKET (ABC) the bowlers action used to be like he is chucking the ball. (still it looked better than srilankan sppedstar MALLINGAs action). A 16 bit TV video game (SEGA) hit the market and it wasnt a big difference altogether. Bob and bill wanted more action, better graphics.

Some skeptics say the Wii remote is just another novelty device doomed to fail and become replaced with a standard controller. Although the Wii controller can be tilted sideways to play in classic mode this isnt the intended interface for the majority of games. The fate of the Wii controller will fall into the hands of the software developers.

The Wii controller is unique and requires special attention to detail and design to be implemented in a game correctly, especially a game ported from another system without such a control design. The game is only as fun as its design and implementation. A game which utilizes the controller in a poor fashion will push customers away. Too many games utilizing the controller badly can look bad on the system overall.

The system offers gamers an experience unlike a standard console, primarily because of its unique control scheme. The gamer is controlling the game in true 3D by moving the Wii controller and its secondary Wii nunchuck in 3d-space. The learning curve should be high, the complexity great, but oddly enough, a well d...more
