Shigeru Myamoto of Nintendo
Most people argue that Xbox or PSP is better than Nintendo, but I disagree. Nintendo as changed from the old Atari games to 3D, third person, adventure games. At first glance this may seem too geeky or nerdy, but I can assure you this is very interesting. In the beginning, Atari games were more popular. Games like Pac Man, Space Invaders, and Dig Dug were more liked than other games of the time period. But before this Myamoto was a child have adventures of his own and exploring the land of Japan. As a child, Myamoto did a lot of adventuring. He ran through forests, dug through dirt, explored the bowels of caverns, and sailed little boats. In that time he was coming up with ideas for what would soon be his future. On his free time, he would ask his parents if he could go outside. As soon as he stepped in the soil, he would immediately run as far as he could and explore the nearest odd looking thing. He was quiet the little adventurer, but soon his life would change. When Myamoto was looking for a job, Nintendo came immediately to his mind. When he was hired he started working on a new game that everyone would enjoy. The story line was a little

At first glance the game didn’t look as appealing to its audience, but over time people wanted more games. Arcades began to lose their fun with at-home-consoles taking their place. Myamoto went from making Pac Man looking games to 3D games. Two of his most famous franchises that were made in 3D are The Ledged of Zelda, and Super Mario. While most adored the Mario franchise, the legend of Zelda (A.K.A LOZ) was beginning to shine. LOZ’s franchise made 15+ games, while Mario beamed with over 50+ games. After a while of LOZ and Mario, Star Fox was introduced as well as many other types of games like Super Smash Bros., Donkey Kong, Kirby, Mario kart, and even Halo. Nintendo grew with Myamoto on board, but they had no idea what was in store for
Old games were fun because the way they made the old games like GameCube was a system that you could play two players and it comes with many games you could play. And the old system controllers were more nice and they feel better. The new games have many thing on the controllers. The old ones have a little of stuff on the controllers. I think the main thing that sucks about the new games is that you need to pay to play.

In the console-gaming world people know Sony and Nintendo. Microsoft may be the largest and richest software company in the world, but it’s unknown when it comes to console gaming. Microsoft is counting on the Xbox to change that perception. Gamers may not be willing to take a chance with the Microsoft Xbox, even if it is far superior to any console ever made. Nintendo Gamecube is nothing if charismatic. Nintendo’s new machine is half the size of any other console and looks like a toy with its brightly colored plastic shell and handle. It’s destined to be home of such popular games as Mario, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, and Kirby. Nintendo Gamecube seems mismatched as it goes up against the Microsoft Xbox and the Sony Playstation 2 (a multimedia mayhem that Sony says it’s supposed to be “The Future Of Entertainment”). All this makes you think; what makes Nintendo believe it can possibly go up against the ultra-sophisticated Xbox.
As a result of the increasing demand on Wii, Nintendo’s management decided to make W...
“The journey of the hero is about the courage to seek the depths; the image of creative rebirth; the eternal cycle of change within us; the uncanny discovery that the seeker is the mystery which the seeker seeks to know. The hero journey is a symbol that binds, in the original sense of the word, two distant ideas, and the spiritual quest of the ancients with the modern search for identity always the one, shape-shifting yet marvelously constant story that we find.” (Phil Cousineau) The Hero's Journey has been engaged in stories for an immemorial amount of time. These stories target typical connections that help us relate to ourselves as well as the “real world”.

Video games, specifically home consoles, came to the US on October 18th 1985. The NES. Most games around that time were all bright and cheerful looking games such as Mario, Kirby, Legend Of Zelda, and Pokemon a few years later on the Gameboy. But as other game developers appeared, new types of games were made. The shooter genre and fighting genre of games came mostly on the Xbox and PS systems with a couple exceptions being on a Nintendo console(Doom, Goldeneye, Smash bros). Now shooter games
Video games have come a long way. They have evolved from the simple game of Pong into a complex, multi-platform, multi-genre, multi-billion dollar industry.
PlayStation’s main competitors over the past 20 years have been Microsoft and Nintendo, however, initially there were others too. PlayStation’s first release in 1994 was a part of the fifth-generation era, where home consoles began to display 3D graphics. The three main consoles on the market in this era were the Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64 and the first PlayStation console. Before the first PlayStation was released, Nintendo and Sega (as well as Atari) were the primary competitors in the video game console market at the end of the eighties to the beginning of the nineties. The Sega Megadrive (1988) and Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1991) were wildly popular - the Megadrive sold 20 million units and the SNES sold 49 million units worldwide. The next generation of consoles released by both Sega and Nintendo were far less successful than their predecessors. Both Sega and Sony used optical disc technology - however the Saturn was criticised for being harder to develop for, and third-party developers chose to produce for th...
