Nintendo Wii

To start of here are the basics, the main point of the Wii and the reason it is 'Uneek' is because it has accelerometers in the controller which gives it the ability to since movement, i.e. it knows when you, say, swing your arm, which opens a world of possibilities. The racing games for the Wii don't use arrows or a joystick, they use the accelerometer so to steer you tilt the controller. But if you don't want to have to move around just to play a video game, the Wii has ports for gamecube controllers and memory cards, so all you have to do is pop in a gamecube disk and start playing, that's it.
Well that's pretty much the basics, I'll post later about the more complicated stuff, like specific games, and if you don't own a Wii and are thinking about getting one I would recommend it.

DSi

I purchased The DSi, the new and improved DS lite, last Friday and decided I let you readers know about the new features.



First let me start with the bad things (don't worry there's not many). The first thing I heard many people are mad about is the removal of the GBA (game boy advance) game slot, I personally didn't use it much but it did eliminate the ability to play the game Guitar Hero: On Tour which had a detachable fret-button controller which obviously doesn't work if you can't hook up the controller. That is the only bad thing I can think of, so now onto the good stuff.




The first thing I'll talk about, which is pretty minor, is the brightness level, which is just the ability to make the screen brighter than the DS lite could be. The second thing is just some self-explanatory things, like the bigger screens, updated speakers, and updated mic. The third thing is what I consider the best update is the two cameras, one in between the top and bottom screens, and the other one is on the outside, the cool feature with camera is that you can edit your photos, i.e. draw on them, distort them, etc. That pretty much wraps up this post, and just so you know there's more new features but those are pretty minor if you ask me.




Thanks for Reading!!!
