In case you have been on another planet lately and have not heard about all the new video game systems out there let me catch you up…. I guess you could say the most in demand newer system is the Wii, (which I own and love and for those of you who don’t believe the hype I have lost 7 pounds playing it) it has the competition beat on system price though the extra controllers and accessories are a bit pricey and it also one of the most innovative as far as player interaction. Then you have the XBOX360, not brand new but still on a lot of peoples wish lists. Again, I am very familiar with it having previously owned one. The system itself is a bit costly but the graphics are great and for the first time you can hook your home system up to the internet and play your favorite games with other players worldwide. And we cannot go without mentioning the Playstation 3 which in this bloggers opinion offers up the most variety of games. Now with all of that being said and as much as I love all the new systems I do have to say what about the old school?

The Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega, and the Gamecube have all had their time to shine and it seems they are now pushed aside by the bigger and better systems on the block. I know this is the way things work and no matter what happens you won’t hear of any games being released for them again but don’t let them live out their days in a box in the garage! I have to say that I love my super Nintendo still. To this day I have it, play it, love it, and am able to find games thanks to e-bay and the like. There is nothing wrong with the new systems, everything in the world is always getting improved on and made bigger,better, and shinier than ever…..but pull out that old Sega (or whatever your old school favorite is) and play it again. You would be surprised how easily you fall in love with them all over again. And with new systems always on the horizon…don’t forgot classics never go out of style!
