Just how did Nintendo see off SNK, Sega, Atari, Sony, Nokia and the Wonderswan? And will it see off Apple as well?
Who doesn't love a good challenge? If everything was easy, there would be no joy in getting it done. In the realm of video games, the late 1980s and 1990s were the perfect era of "get good" gaming with multiple big-named titles that put a player's skills to the test. The Super Nintendo, one of
Sure did I can only assume the article is talking about old-school games in general

Celebrate 16 years of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed! Dive into the thrilling story of Starkiller, wield epic Force powers, and explore this iconic LucasArts game.
force unleashed is a great game. Thankfully the 360 version is bc on the XBO/Series. It looks and plays even better than on original hardware.
A true classic. Recently I was experimenting with injecting ray tracing into this game using nvidia’s SSRTGI. The results were pretty slick!
In a major crackdown, Italy's financial police have dismantled a ring trafficking counterfeit vintage video game consoles, highlighting a severe issue within the gaming industry. The operation underscores the industry's failure to preserve classic games, driving gamers toward illegal alternatives as legitimate options remain scarce and prohibitively expensive.
Even if they do crack down all a person needs is an Everdrive and a regular old school machine. Or modify a disc based console that has a dead laser to boot off an SD card. Some of those illegal devices look neat and some of them are just plain crap.
What a stupid thing to be wasting time, money and effort. Aren't these guys literally drowning right now? Maybe y'all should focus more on that instead trying to stop people from playing old games no longer being sold.
Pretty sure I've read and seen parts of Italy experiences/ing pretty bad floodings. Id argue that's more important than trying to prevent the sale of emulation devices.
they won cause they put out atleast 20 of them
about how well the PSP is fairing against the Nintendo handheld stranglehold.
The DS and PSP have quite different markets. They both have a market that overlaps both the systems but the rest of their market is quite different.
On one side you have the DS which atracts mostly (but not only) children of ages 6-12, adults who like to play quick easy games, older people who don't play games often.
On the other side you have the PSP, they atract the teen demograpic and young adults (ages 13-35). Also people who are more into extensive gaming. It's more of a multimedia device than only a gaming device, so you'll also see people that are not into games use the PSP for listening to music, watching movies or using it as a GPS.
Those are different markets, they need different strategies. But what you see is that both Sony and Nintendo trying to go in the middle with their strategies. Nintendo releasing DSi (more multimedia capabilties) and Sony going for more unique easygoing titles.
Whereas the other handhelds competed with Nintendo directly and lost, you can't really say the DS won from the PSP.
Anyway, I don't give a rats ass to who wins if people actually care for that. I'm in it for the entertainment, I like to have some interactive fun in my free time.
By having something that's actually unique. (like the wii) Touchscreen is a cool feature, as is dual-screening. Will it see off Apple? They're probably laughing at Apples attempts...
and it has the best games of any system, home consoles included. I can't wait for chrono trigger!
