Nintendo Wii Ranked Most Energy Efficient Game System

A new study from the Electric Power Research Institute shows that there is a difference -- and sometimes a huge difference -- in the amount of energy game systems use.

dericb114877d ago

Of course it is lol. Collecting dust is a huge energy saver. Has to be plugged in and used first :)

Don't attack me guys I just had to make that joke.

SasanovaS19874877d ago

sadly, your right. majority of the gamers are focused on the next gen. sorry wii fanboys, but your the minority, so deal with it. (ofcourse, im excluding the broad audionce of gamers that are soccer moms and kids) i bought the wii, played mario, zelda, and brawl, thats it. dont even argue anything else, cus everything other then those are hardly decent at best

zootang4877d ago

But the most harmful to the environment

ChickeyCantor4876d ago

"are hardly decent at best"

In your opinion.

Arup024876d ago

Wii fanboys? This exist?

KruLLit4876d ago

Maybe you should buy some more games for the wii and then maybe you will see the wii is superior to the competition. The only _good_ game on the PS3 for example is MGS4, the rest just plain sucks.

kramun4876d ago

So when I was playing the highest rated game of the year on my wii, and other people were playing games of lesser quality on other consoles, I was saving the planet more!

That's awesome!

tigertron4876d ago

@ KruLLit

You were joking...right?

trippyaaron4876d ago

@kramun
lol your still using energy, just less of it ;)

KruLLit4876d ago

@ tigertron

no I was dead serious, maybe you should consider what I said. Some people just like good game mechanics instead of graphics.

badz1494876d ago

are you saying all games with great graphic don't have great gameplay mechanic as well? that's like the dumbest comment ever!

tigertron4876d ago

@ KruLLit

So what you're saying is that the PS3 only has games which focus on graphics and have crap gameplay? bar MGS4?

Maybe you should do some research. Have you heard of games like:

Uncharted
Uncharted 2
Killzone 2
LBP
Resistance
Resistance 2
Motorstorm
Motorstorm Pacific Rift
Infamous
Heavy Rain
GT5
Warhawk
Siren Blood Curse
Ratchet and Clank: TOD
Ratchet and Clank: QFB
Ratchet and Clank: ACIT

Clearly not, because if you had you wouldn't have said that. The list above is only a small example of what the PS3 has to offer. I haven't even touched on what else is coming out on the PS3, or its multiplat games.

TheNocturnus4876d ago

Bahh! You beat me to the joke! Props to you though.

Double_O_Revan4876d ago

so true. lol. dont even touch it anymore.

TheNocturnus4876d ago

I sold mine to my mom. I originally bought it for my wife and she never used it. I have a 360 so you know I never used the wii. My mom wanted it for wii fit to help lose some weight. She used it once... the day I set it up for her. LOL

jjmustoe4877d ago

Apotheosize4876d ago

Makes sense the other platforms are running on more demanding hardware

frjoethesecond4876d ago

The wii has a terrible energy to fun ratio.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis1h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg20h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7220h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast22h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood21h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK18h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast38m ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake17h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast23m ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon12h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast23m ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
