For example if your video game system or computer is accessing internet wirelessly you would need to have a strong enough signal to always be having a good connection because you’ll most likely be logged of the servers and your game play will be interrupted. It would be most ideally to always have your video game system or computer directly connected to the modem/router to have a better connection that won’t be interrupted unless by having power issues or issues on the provider’s side. Talking about servers that’s where all the connectivity and the exchanging of data happen and it’s a beautiful experience.
Wii Encore Case Analysis Since 1983Nintendo has continued to introduce game consoles to the gaming market starting with Famicon in 1983 and more recently the Nintendo Wii in 2006. They have focused on keeping the platform prices low but also offering the consumer high game quality as well as image quality. Nintendo has been associated with popular games such as Super Mario Brothers (1985), The Legend of Zelda (1987), and Metroid (1987).

The new handheld device DS and the video game console Wii were products of Nintendo’s strategy to expand the video game consumer market.

Module 08 – Cultural Competence in Video Games Author Note Cultural Competence in Video Games Cultural competence can be a wonderful inclusion when developing video games. It can help bring out the design of the game and make it stronger. The concept of cultural competence within a video game is to make something within the game behave such as something in real life would, and define to the player the cultural differences between different groups of society throughout the world.
