Nintendo Wii console - Image 1Nintendo is at it again, now that they received another Emmy award from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for its innovative Wii motion-sensing controls, and the dual-screen and tactile interface of the Nintendo DS.

The award was presented in Las Vegas on January 7 at the Technological and Engineering Emmy Awards. This would be the second award that Nintendo has received in a row, with the previous award recognizing Nintendo's invention of the plus-shaped D-pad that is widely used in many gaming peripherals.

The invention netted the gaming company the Emmy Award for Peripheral Development and Technological Impact of Video Game Controllers last year.

in other news...

I won an emmy for my ability to expose how fragile the Wii's temporary success is. All I had to do was pay off the judges like Nintendo did.

.

Here's a thought: Say something new. OK, I know you think what I say is lame and I'm a sad man, but don't you ever have anything intelligent and/or funny to add? I'm actually quite happy because I have the best consoles with the best games, not sub par homebrew quality games like Wii Chess that sell for $30. I remember playing a very similar game (chessmaster) on my 18 year old 286 computer.

the thing is

I%u2019m 17 and I know that I%u2019m far more intelligent you are in older more unwise age. just because ps3 has better graphics and what not does not mean it%u2019s the best system. I own all three of the systems and the ones that turn on the most is the Wii And 360.
