Young Adults are prefering Nintendo Wii, But 45+ Prefer PS3

Today I have found one good information about the preference of game in each group of age. Despite Nintendo Wii's appeal to a atypical gamer demographics, a new study shows that the console is still most popular with 18-24-year-olds when compared to rival consoles. Nintendo Wii marketing often shows wrinkled folks playing Wii Bowling in a nursing home, but the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 actually have more appeal among older age groups, Experian Consumer Research has found. 18- to 24-year-olds played or owned game consoles at the highest rate when compared to older age brackets. PlayStation 3 was found to be the most popular console for people over 44, besting Xbox 360 and Wii. Xbox 360 was most popular with 35-44-year-olds.

You can see from the figure as following.

NHL 2K9 will come to Nintendo Wii this year

Ice hockey fans will be elated to find out that Take Two has announced NHL 2K9 will become the first NHL game to grace the Nintendo Wii later this year. The game will also see release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2. Come on, admit it -- you're shocked.

As you would expect with a Wii sports game, the Wiimote will allow for some rather nifty new moves, with Wii Remote motions controlling a player's stick, similar to the way the right analogue stick was used in NHL 2K8, but much more refined. At least, we would imagine that's the case. Visual Concepts are once again the driving force behind the project. Last month it was announced that Columbus Blue Jackets winger and 2002 first overall draft pick Rick Nash will be the cover athlete. That's him up in the corner of this icon, in case you're wondering.

NHL 2K9 is due out on all platforms in September.

He added: “But she now finds herself laughing about it and enjoying her 15 minutes of fame as the Wii Fit girl. It’s just crazy how it’s blown up.” (ANI)

Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party Bundle


I would like to review some new hot dance game which now sale rank in Amazon is #10, that is incredible game , Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party which created by Konami, the top game company.

Let's see some customer feedback from Amazon customers.


"As a dance challenged, lazy, out of shape gamer-girl whose nights often include pizza and movies (yeah I know there's more of you out there!) I bought this DDR wii game to help me get active. I highly recommend it to inexperienced dancers because each song has various difficulty levels (four actually, but I've yet to get passed 1- beginner and 2- basic.) It will keep you challenged and give you room to improve, making this game a good investment for the game play time. There is a good single player work out mode where you can select how many calories you'd like to burn during your session. This is basically setting a duration goal, I usually hit "100 calories" and it makes game play a bit over 30 minutes (depending on the intensity level of songs you play) before it tells you you've reached your goal. You can keep playing of course, but this is a good way to set a nightly workout goal without having to look at a clock. While I see a lot of these reviews are from dancers or kids that move like lightning, for the rest of us more "average" people this game is going to be a challenge... BUT DON'T GIVE UP!!! You are likely to hate this game for the first hour, but once you get the hang of it you'll be hooked. "

Some People said

"I will leave the critical work of reviewing the minutia of the gameplay of "DDR Hottest Party" to more capable reviewers. Suffice to say, the gameplay itself carries on both the Wii's tradition of simple, casual gaming with the now familiar interface that has become the hallmark of the DDR franchise. "

Product Features
  • Brand new DDR game designed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii, bundle includes a dance pad!
  • 4 players simultaneous play turns any house into the hottest party
  • All-new soundtrack includes licensed smash-hits from the last 4 decades
  • Use the Nintendo Wii Remote and Nunchuck while dancing for greater total body interaction
  • Swing the Nintendo Wii controller to send obstructions to your opponents

Short Supply for Wii Console

The Wii console is still lack of supply. The actual Wii console is still in short supply, a year and a half after its release. If you're like us, you figured that after the holiday season the overwhelming demand for the Nintendo Wii would finally let up and you'd finally be able to buy the console easily online and in stores. However, the Wii is still essentially sold out online; we couldn't find the console available to buy from major retailers like Amazon.com, Best Buy, and Circuit City.

We contacted Nintendo for a comment on the persistent Wii shortages. Here's what the company said:

"No home console has ever sold so fast for so long. We planned for big numbers--but not necessarily historic ones. We're doing everything we can. In fact, Nintendo recently forecast that for the fiscal year that began April 1, 2008, worldwide shipments for Wii will increase to 25 million from 18.61 million this past fiscal year. This summer, Nintendo will raise production to 2.4 million systems per month."

Review of Wii Balance Board


The Wii Balance Board is a balance board accessory for Nintendo's Wii video game console. It was first revealed on July 11, 2007, at E3 2007, in combination with its software counterpart Wii Fit.

The Wii Balance Board is shaped like a household body scale, with a plain white top and light grey bottom. It uses four AA batteries as a power source, which can power the board for about 60 hours. The board is wireless and contains multiple pressure sensors that are used to measure the user's center of balance—the location of the intersection between an imaginary line drawn vertically through the center of mass and the surface of the Balance Board—and body mass index. In an interview conducted by gaming web site IGN, Shigeru Miyamoto stated that the Balance Board's ability to measure weight is probably more accurate than that of a typical bathroom scale.

Review Wii Fitt


Wii Fit, you will get a great workout right in your home without going to the gym. Nintendo Wii Fit with Wii Balance Board is turning your living room into a fitness center for the whole family. Family members will have fun getting a "core" workout, and talking about and comparing their results and progress on a new channel on the Wii Menu. Aerobic Exercise - 10-minute exercises that are designed to get your heart pumping Muscle Conditioning - Controlled motions using arms, legs and other body parts Yoga Poses - Classic poses that focus on balance and stretching Balance Games - Fun activities, such as ski jumping and heading soccer balls, that challenge the player's overall body balance

I would like to show you some review who bought Wii Fit from Amazon.

"I own the Wii Fit since last week. I'm 32, 1.76m, ~82-84kg (fluctuates) and with my wedding coming up in a few months I wanted to lose some weight. I work all day and have little time in the evenings so the preparation and driving to and from the gym was too much. I wanted to use that 30-40 min to exercise, not prepare for exercise. I own a Wii since Xmas and decided to try this out after reading various reviews on the internet. Is this as good as going to the gym? No it does not replicate a gym. Will it get the job done? Will it keep you fit and help you lose weight? YES YES YES! I love it and highly recommend it. I get a great work out in 45 min. I feel great about myself, and have already lost a kilo. (note I have not changed my diet). Notice I get my work out in as much time as it takes to commute and prepare for gym. I also have more fun than going to the gym on my own. Perhaps going to a gym with a friend would be more fun. Depends. Anyway I love the Wii Fit! Note it takes a few times to get used to it and figure out how best to use it. Why? Well there is no prepared program for you. You have to decide on your own what you want to do and in what sequence. I start off by doing the aerobics (jogging, holla hoop) and then vary. Basically, the Wii Fit breaks its exercises into Muscle, Balance, Aerobics, and Yoga. I mainly doing the Aerobics and mix in some muscle and yoga. The muscle and yoga can be really tough. You wouldn't believe how much. You can really feel the muscles working. I do the balance exercises when I'm tired and want to relax a bit in between exercises. They may help with balance but are more of a game than anything else. The more you exercise, new exercises open up. In other words, you start of with a limited about of stuff to do and slowly you get more and more. Don't listen to the few negative reviews you may read on the internet. They were probably biased against the product before even trying it. This product costs a little more than going to the gym for a month (at least in my country). By the time I unlock all the exercises, I will have exercised more than a 1-month gym subscription, burnt more calories, and will have a fun game left too! Compared to nothing after a month at a gym. I highly recommend this. As I explained, you are getting more than your money's worth, having fun, and getting fit."
