GAM Gaming
Game je op de PC of Console of toch liever mobiel of in je browser? Kom je maar niet door een level heen, of is er juist een nieuwe game aangekondigd die je vet lijkt? Hier kun je het hebben over games in de breedste zin van het woord.
Nintendo's nieuwe thuisconsole - Wii - introduceert een nieuw tijdperk voor videogames, waarin iedereen kan meespelen. Wii's draadloze afstandsbediening is bewegingsgevoelig en geeft je meer dan ooit het gevoel zelf onderdeel uit te maken van de games die je erop speelt. Een games revolutie.
De Wii heeft een compact ontwerp dat bij elke televisieset past. Je kunt de Wii rechtop zetten of plat leggen. En dankzij het elegante ontwerp, ongeveer zo groot is als drie dvd-doosjes op elkaar, kun je de Wii eenvoudig aan je entertainment-opstelling toevoegen, zonder dat het systeem meteen alle ruimte in beslag neemt. Met de Wii-afstandsbediening kun je het systeem tevens op veel meer plekken kwijt, zodat het beter past bij je inrichting.
De automatisch ladende diskdrive kan optische disks (12 centimeter, eenzijdig 4.7gb of dubbelzijdig 8.51 GB) voor de Wii evenals Nintendo GameCube-disks (8 centimeter) afspelen. Hiermee is het de eerste Nintendo console die backwards compatible is.

Hiermee is het de eerste Nintendo console die backwards compatible is.Je kan altijd via het internet communiceren, zelfs als het systeem niet gebruikt wordt. Deze WiiConnect24-dienst zorgt voor nieuwe verrassingen of spelupdates, zelfs als de gebruikers niet op de Wii aan het spelen zijn.
Gebruikers kunnen draadloos verbinding maken via IEEE 802.11b/g of een USB 2.0 LAN-adapter. Tevens kan je met een Wii draadloos communiceren met de Nintendo DS.
Het systeem biedt downloadtoegang tot 20 jaar aan populaire titels die oorspronkelijk zijn uitgebracht voor de Nintendo 64, het Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) en zelfs het Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). De Virtual Console biedt tevens een selectie van de beste titels voor de Sega Mega Drive en de TurboGrafx-console (een systeem dat is ontwikkeld door NEC en Hudson). De Virtual Console biedt ten slotte toegang tot games van onafhankelijke spelontwikkelaars die over meer creativiteit dan geld beschikken.

De Virtual Console biedt ten slotte toegang tot games van onafhankelijke spelontwikkelaars die over meer creativiteit dan geld beschikken. Ten slotte beschikt de Wii over maar liefst 512 megabyte intern flash-geheugen, twee USB 2.0-poorten en ingebouwde Wi-Fi-mogelijkheden. Via de opening aan het voorkant kunnen spelers het interne flash-geheugen uitbreiden met SD-geheugenkaarten. De specificaties van de rest van het systeem luiden als volgt: Broadway CPU 729MHZ, 64MB GDDR3 (MEM2) geheugen, Hollywood GPU 243MHZ, 24MB geheugen, 88MB totaal geheugen.
Het systeem is circa 1.5x krachtiger dan de Gamecube.
De Wii is op 8 December in Europa uitgekomen, voor een adviesprijs van ¤249,99, inclusief Wii Sports.
Een intuïtieve besturing voor iedereen door middel van fysieke bewegingen met de Wii-afstandsbediening, die nog het meest lijkt op de afstandsbediening van een tv.
Een intuïtieve besturing voor iedereen door middel van fysieke bewegingen met de Wii-afstandsbediening, die nog het meest lijkt op de afstandsbediening van een tv. Via draadloze Bluetooth-technologie kun je maximaal vier Wii-afstandsbedieningen aansluiten. Het draadloze signaal kan binnen een straal van 10 meter rond het systeem worden waargenomen. Zowel de Wii-afstandsbediening als de Nunchuk-controller bevatten een drieassige bewegingssensor.
De Wii-afstandsbediening bevat tevens een luidspreker, trilfunctie en uitbreidingspoort. Daarnaast kun je het binnen 5 meter van het scherm als aanwijzer gebruiken.
De Wii-afstandsbediening is voorzien van een aan/uit-schakelaar, richtingsknop, A-, B-, Min-, HOME-, Plus-, 1- en 2-knoppen. De Nunchuk-controller is voorzien van een analoge Control Stick en C- en Z-knoppen.
De bekende Nintendo-franchises komen allemaal terug naar de Wii, maar zullen uiteraard een nieuwe ervaring bieden dankzij Wii's mogelijkheden. De third party support is ook goed vertegenwoordigd, met name bij de Japanese ontwikkelaars, dus er zullen genoeg nieuwe games verschijnen. Met "Virtual Console", zoals eerder genoemd, is het mogelijk om NES, SNES en N64 games te downloaden en te spelen. Ook enkele games van Sega's Megadrive en de TurboGrafx console zullen beschikbaar zijn. Verwacht ook nieuwe eenvoudige arcade achtige games.
Hieronder staat de lijst van launch titels voor Europa, met als eerste, de toppers en potentiële toppers:
De resterende launch titels:
Tony's Hawk's Downhill Jam, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Happy Feet, Rampage: Total Destruction, Gottlieb Pinball Classics, Super Fruit Fall, Cars, Barnyard, Spongebob Squarepants: Creature from the Krusty Krab, Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII, GT Pro Series, Monster 4x4: World Circuit, Open Season, en ten slotte, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent.

Nintendo Wii steals the Christmas show
The No3 player in the games world has beaten its rivals with its must-have console, says Paul Durman
THE Nintendo Wii is this year’s must-have games console, and should delight the lucky few who receive one tomorrow morning. But the huge public acclaim for the Wii and its unusual motion-sensing remote control has already ruined Sir Howard Stringer’s Christmas.
Stringer, the Cardiff-born chairman and chief executive of Sony Corporation, is relying on PlayStation 3 to help revive the misfiring Japanese electronics giant that he has run for the past 18 months. This Christmas, however, the Wii is estimated to be outselling the PS3 by more than two to one.
The faltering progress of Sony’s new games machine has been the subject of constant debate, a testament to its commercial importance. Yet the PS3 appears to have been blown away by the early success of a rival that went almost unnoticed before its launch last month.
All the focus has been on Sony’s battle with Microsoft, the software giant that launched its Xbox 360 console a year ago. Nintendo was regarded as a distant No 3 — no longer able to match its rivals’ firepower.
The Wii’s graphics engine is technically less sophisticated. But Nintendo has compensated with the novelty and appeal of its remote control, which allows players to swing at, say, an electronic tennis or golf ball as if playing the game for real. Apart from anything else, the “Wiimote” has generated lots of media coverage.
One report declared the Wii is “the best excuse to get off the couch. Anyone who plays the included Wii Sports will almost certainly come to the same conclusion: this thing is really fun! Seriously, button tapping can’t compete with this system’s intuitive, tactile remote controls that must be swung around”.
Van Baker at Gartner, the research-and-analysis firm, said: “It’s created some excitement around gaming that has not been there in a long time. Nintendo’s titles are more family-friendly and more fun.”
The Wii is also much cheaper, costing $250 (£127) in America, or £179 in Britain. The Sony PS3, which is not yet available in Europe, costs either $500 or $600, depending on the machine’s memory-storage capabilities.
In America, analysts believe Sony is struggling to hit the 1m sales target it has set for the end of the year. In contrast, Nintendo’s Christmas sales look likely to exceed 2m.
Baker said: “My best guess is that Sony has sold 300,000 to 400,000 units. They’ll get about 750,000 units, or a little more. That leaves them with a lot of ground to make up.”
Both firms are struggling with supply shortages, although Sony’s problems are more severe — it was forced to postpone the European launch of PS3 until next year.
“The big challenge for Sony is that PS3s are so hard to get,” said Baker. “To a large degree, many people are buying something else. Sony is going to have to battle to retain the market share that they’ve had historically. They’ve given a two Christmas advantage to Microsoft, and a one Christmas advantage to Nintendo.”
The number of consoles in the market is important because it provides the platform for lucrative game sales, the more profitable end of the $27 billion- a-year industry. Sony and Microsoft both lose money on console sales, but experts believe Nintendo makes a decent profit on the Wii.
The early sales figures tell only part of the story. There is ample evidence that there is more buzz and excitement surrounding the Wii. For example, dedicated gamers have been camping out to queue up for the limited stocks available, and forming online discussion groups to help track them down. In the UK, Hitwise, the internet-data firm, has reported that Nintendo Wii has suddenly become the most searched-for gadget, quickly overtaking Apple’s Ipod.
“Nintendo seems to have stolen the high ground in terms of playability and entertainment value,” said Paul Jackson at Forrester Research. “Nintendo seems to be surfing this wave of public interest and this idea of accessibility that they started with Nintendogs and these brain games.”
Nintendogs, Brain Age and other similar “brain-training” titles are games designed for the Nintendo DS, the hand-held console aimed at a broader audience than just hard-core gamers. They are very different from traditional shooting and racing games.
Dawn Paine, Nintendo UK marketing director, said the Wii followed the DS in trying to offer new types of games and a new interface. Brain- training games brought in older players while Nintendogs attracts young girls. She said Nintendo was trying to do something more than the same old stuff with this year’s technology. “For us the technology is not the main element,” she said. “We felt it was crucial to stir up the market and offer this paradigm shift.”
Jackson agreed: “Sony and Microsoft are talking to the converted. Nintendo is trying to attract people who used to play games or who have never played games — people who don’t consider themselves gamers.”
In doing so, Nintendo has opted out of the technological “arms race” which previously characterised much of the competition in the games industry.
Microsoft and Sony have broader strategic goals for their consoles, hoping their machines can be the entertainment hub of the digital home — a device that can also store music, photos and videos.
One of the reasons the PS3 is so expensive, and so late to market, is because Sony is using it to deploy Blu-Ray, the technology it favours for high-definition DVDs. As a company focused on electronic gaming, Nintendo has no such ambitions.
It is not without its own problems. Some early buyers of the Wii have found that the wrist strap supplied with the remote control broke too easily, in some cases causing the device to fly out of their hands. Nintendo has offered customers stronger replacement straps, but an American law firm has already filed a class-action suit.
Neither the lawsuit nor the problem with the wrist straps looks likely to stop the Wii from outselling its predecessor, the Gamecube, but it is far too early to count Sony out. The estimated 90m players of PlayStation 2 provide a huge pool who could play their existing games on the new, more advanced machine. And Sony’s strong recovery in the flat-screen TV market shows the brand’s enduring power.
However, Microsoft is hoping to end the year with 10m Xbox 360 consoles in the marketplace, and is working on the launch next year of a follow-up to the successful Halo 2 game. The enthusiastic reception given to the Wii is a reminder that it is not always the best technology that wins battles in consumer electronics. Stringer has his work cut out.
