Since experiencing immense success with the DS, the rulers of Nintendo-land have become obsessed with providing innovation to the rest of the gaming world. The Wii, with its motion-sensing controller, lovingly dubbed the Wii-mote, has been touted for getting gamers physically involved in the action through titles such as Wii Sports.
That, however, wasn't enough for the man behind Mario; Shigeru Miyamoto decided to step things up a notch by envisioning one of the wackiest peripherals in video gaming history. The Wii Balance Board is a unique peripheral, shaped like your standard bathroom scales that can calculate weight, center of gravity and BMI (after inputting your height). Yes, this sounds like a piece of equipment tailor-made for a gym. But then again, Nintendo's first outing is aiming to provide a similar experience with Wii Fit, the first title to make use of the new peripheral.
This hardcore gamer grandma has put nearly 4,000 days into Wii Fit!
The NPD Group has revealed the top 10 best-selling exclusives in the U.S. since 1995, and Nintendo holds all 10 spots.
Nintendo has always had the most mass appeal, my Mother would play Mario.
There's landslides and then there's this. Wouldn't be surprised if the top 50 was mostly Nintendo games.
VGChartz's William D'Angelo: "Today we take a look at the top 10 best-selling games for yet another platform. Up to this point we have looked at the original PlayStation, the Nintendo 64, the PlayStation 2, the original Xbox, the GameCube, the Nintendo DS, and the PSP. This week it's the turn of Nintendo's most popular home console, the Wii.
The Wii is the fifth best-selling video game platform in history and the third best-selling home console in gaming history. It is also the best-selling home console not released by Sony. It sold 101.18 million units lifetime."
Just like the DS list, every game on the Wii's list has sold over 10 million. Not even PS1 and PS2 did that. That's very incredible
