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.

dericb114871d 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.

SasanovaS19874871d 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

zootang4871d ago

But the most harmful to the environment

ChickeyCantor4871d ago

"are hardly decent at best"

In your opinion.

Arup024871d ago

Wii fanboys? This exist?

KruLLit4871d 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.

kramun4871d 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!

tigertron4871d ago

@ KruLLit

You were joking...right?

trippyaaron4871d ago

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

KruLLit4871d ago

@ tigertron

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

badz1494870d ago

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

tigertron4870d 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.

TheNocturnus4871d ago

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

Double_O_Revan4871d ago

so true. lol. dont even touch it anymore.

TheNocturnus4871d 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

frjoethesecond4871d ago

The wii has a terrible energy to fun ratio.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing12d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
