Nintendo Wii | The New Value Of Nintendo Wii Is There Any?

September 2, 2010 – 3:03 pm

Yesterday, many blogs released their reviews upon the interweb regarding the new Sony Playstation Move.With mostly positive reviews, it looks like Sony may have a real winner on hand that could possibly extend the lifespan of the PS3 for another 2 or more years.But with the Nintendo Wii already a staple in millions of families homes, and Microsoft’s Kinect right around the corner, is there room for all 3 of these devices to co-exist? I really don’t think so, and I think Nintendo is going to be the one that falls to the wayside.

After reading countless initial reviews of the Move today, I started wondering to myself if I was going to pickup the new peripheral.I am usually the first to jump on any new technology, especially when they deal with video games.However after E3 earlier this year, I wasn’t convinced that I would be purchasing the new motion sensor controls come September.

But here we are with the launch only a couple weeks away and the reviews are in.With mostly positive opinions [of the hardware], I started to convince myself that the Move is going to be a worthy pickup.Not only that, but that it will blow the Wii out of the water.With more precision and better graphics, there is no way Nintendo can keep up without releasing a next generation system.I am not saying graphics make or break a system (it’s all about the games), but nice visuals always help turn consumers minds when making a purchase.

Don’t get me wrong, the Wii has plenty of great games that do not solely rely on motion controls such as Zelda and Mario.But for me, I just don’t find myself playing those games too often. I pick the games up on launch, play a little, and then get tired of flicking this, and doing that, however slight the motions may be.Motion control games are meant for parties and multiplayer games.With the PS3, you get the best of both worlds.An amazing game platform with classic controls and HD graphics, along with the added bonus of motion control that you can have a blast with friends playing.

In regards to the Kinect, I think that stands on it’s own pedestal and can coexist with the Sony Move.Having the Wii sensor bar in addition to these other peripherals will start to make my TV look like the robot from Short Circuit .Come launch day, my Wii and the plethora of games I have accumulated, will be having a burial service at Gamestop where I will upgrade to the future of gaming.It was a glorious ride Wii, but it is time we move on and go our separate ways.
