The Nintendo DSi


It is the third form of the DS to come out on the game market. Nintendo of course made another amazing hand held device that people are just going nuts over. I myself have got one and just love its sweet ability to take pictures and get apps for it through wi-fi. It is probably one of the coolest portable gaming devices that has ever been created. It is the awesome Nintendo DSi. They really upgrade this device by increasing the screen size to 3.25 in. from its original 3 in. I know this is not an amazing change to the screen but for gamers this means a lot. They also added two cameras on the machine for picture taking, an SD card slot to store pics and other stuff, the ability to get applications off the web. It has brought some new playable enjoyment to many. Some of the original ideas for the machine was to have to slots for the DS games. This was something that when came out in testing just seemed to be worthless which led to the decision to change it back to a single slot. This allowed the device to cut down on its size. Other amazing things they have for fun is the ability to change, add and morphing your pictures. They also have a recorder to play with sounds.
This is one of the best devices in my mind that Nintendo has ever brought out. It is just a fun device which can be played by all ages. And a lot of the reviews for it have come back as being a great device. So if you don't have one and would like to get in on some of the funs things in life this is the best gaming machince for anyone.

Changing up the Story

A good storyline can never be beat in a great video games. One of the coolest things seen in games are multi-story campaigns. One of the best examples are the famous computer games from Blizzard Entertainment, Warcraft 3 and Starcraft. These two games have made the frontier of having separate campaigns in one game possible. They came out and the crashed the market with the weight of their giant fan base.
I myself have played these games and saw just amazing things. One of the coolest things about these games is actually how deep you can get into the story of some of their hero class characters. They can lead off into the past events of the characters and show their history. A good example is the character Grom Hellsrceam from the orc race that wars in Warcraft. He is a general that lead his people on a dark path and looks for redemption. Another interesting thing is the intertwining storires in these types of games.
Another game that has this type of situation would be the Pokemon games. They All are different in many ways but what ties them togther is the fact that you are always a trainer out to be the pokemon master. In these different storylines you can be whatever you want with many different types of pokemon teams. You are for sure going to face gym leaders, the elite four at the end and a stupid rival friend that thinks they are better than you. So for all of you out there that like to spice it up just try a new game and see whats different.

Portable Gaming Devices of Nintendo


The Nintendo Game Boy now that was a machine that had all the bests games when you where on the go. Its funny that when you think about games now people seem to only see the big gamin consoles and maybe the ones played on computer. But some of the best gaming devices are the little pocket games. This is the one thing that has a major impact on the kids of today.
I can remember back as a child playing Mario on my cousin's Game Boy. It was such a blast and especially when i got my own Game Boy color and played Pokemon for the first time. I thought it was just amazing how I could play a video game while on the road to my grandma's house. Indeed this was a big step for Nintendo when they brought this device out on the gaming market. It brought more fans of the Super Nintendo out of their basement and into the public's view. The Game Boy originally came out in August of 1989. It was developed with a simple button layout and also came with special features like a rechargeable battery pack. To many peoples surprise the game of the time wasn't Mario, but Tetris which sold over 33 million copies. A few years down the road and some modifications to this cool little machine Nintendo brought out the Game Boy color. At this time a major game that really started to have a big sales for Game Boys was Pokemon. A very popular ga,e for little kids which had cute little monsters that would battle.
Now all of this has lead to the development of the best gaming system by Nintendo which is the DS and the newly release DSi. These portable gaming devices have been the new sweetest devices to hit the market for the fact that they are able to use a touch screen for more interactive gameplay and with the new DSi a person is able to to take pictures. With new applications for this machine the possiblilities are unlimited.
