When we talk about Nintendo video games, the most populars are Nintendo games Wii consoles and Nintendo DS Video games. Nintendo games Wii  is home consoles video games.  The main competitors of Nintendo games Wii are Microsoft XBOX 360 game consoles and Sony PS3 (Play Station 3). Otherwise Nintendo DS is portable consoles and the main competitor is Sony PSP (Play Station Portable).

Wii is Nintendo’s seventh-generation video game console. The system’s code name was “Revolution”, and as with Nintendo GameCube, this reference appears on the console and its accessories.

History of video games consoles:

1. First Generation: In 1972,  Magnavox released the first home video game console, the Magnavox Odyssey. It was initially only moderately successful, and it was not until Atari’s arcade game Pong popularized video games.

2. Second Generation: In 1976,  Fairchild released Fairchild Video Entertainment System (VES). It contained a programmable microprocessor so its cartridges only needed a single ROM chip to store microprocessor instructions.

3. Third Generation: In 1983, Nintendo released the Famicom in Japan. In 1985 Nintendo brought Famicom over to the US in the form of Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Nintendo found its breakout hit game in Super Mario Bros. Nintendo’s success revived the video game industry and new consoles were soon introduced in the following years to compete with the NES.

4. Fourth Generation: Sega regained market share by releasing its next-generation console, the Sega Mega Drive, two years before Nintendo could release the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).  Other consoles included in the fourth generation are  NUC’s TurboGrafx-16 and SNK Playmore’s Neo Geo.

5. Fifth Generation: The first fifth generation consoles were the Atari Jaguar  and the 3DO, which were more powerful than SNES. Then Nintendo released games like Donkey Kong Country that could display a wide range of tones  by limiting the number of hues onscreen. Nintendo 64 was Nintendo’s answer to the growing dominance of the PlayStation. It was a 64-bit console, the only one generally recognized in that class despite the 64-bit Atari Jaguar, which had actually been released earlier.

6. Sixth Generation: This generation saw a move towards PC-like architectures in gaming consoles, as well as a shift towards using DVDs for game media. The Nintendo GameCube was Nintendo’s fourth home video game console and the first console by the company to use optical media instead of cartridges.

7. Seventh Generation: The features introduced in this generation include the support of new disc formats Blu-ray Disc, utilized by the PlayStation 3, and HD DVD supported by the Xbox 360 via an optional accessory.  Another new technology is to use of motion as input ( Wii and  PS3), and IR tracking ( Wii). Also, all seventh generation consoles support standard wireless controllers.

This is a list of Nintendo Video Game consoles:
