There is just something awesome about the Nintendo consoles of today, and their rich and long history in the video gaming world. Indeed, Nintendo consoles have really changed the way that video games will be forever seen and played, and enjoyed for the entire world. Because the Nintendo consoles were some of the first really popular game consoles, and because Nintendo consoles really helped to pave the way to the next generation video game consoles of today, it is fair to assume that without Nintendo consoles, the video gaming world would be far dafter. It really makes me wonder what would have happened if Nintendo had never released the original NES (Nintendo Entertainment System)? Would video games be as advanced as they are today? Would there even be an Xbox 360 and a PS3, who knows? Thankfully, Nintendo consoles have been around since the early 80s, and have been paving the way to brighter things on the horizon as they relate to video games. And with the advent of the Wii, Nintendo consoles seem to be staying on par for the course.
