REGION-FREE CONSOLES

While many games consoles do not allow games from other countries to be played on them (mainly due to voltage, localization and licensing issues), some consoles (often handheld, due to the universal nature of batteries) are not necessarily restricted to a certain locale. Some of these include:

• 3DO Interactive Multiplayer
• Game Boy and variant Game Boy Pocket
• Game Boy Color
• Game Boy Advance and variants Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy Micro
• Game Gear
• Neo Geo
• Neo Geo Pocket
• Neo Geo Pocket Color
• Nintendo DS/Nintendo DS Lite
• PC Engine CD-ROM2/TurboGrafx CD
• PSP (*)
• PlayStation 3 (*)

(*) While the PlayStation Portable is hyped to be region-free, regional lockout do exists to some extent in the console, and it's up to the producer of the game to implement it. For example, some have reported that the PSP release of Battlezone in some countries are region-locked. Likewise, UMD movies are region-locked. The Playstation 3 also has an optional region-lock that the producer of the game can choose to or not to implement. It will also honor the region-coding of Blu-Ray movies, DVD movies, and PSOne and PS2 games.

While the 3DO does not feature regional lockout, a few Japanese 3DO games can only be played on a Japanese console due to special kanji data. (Likewise, games for the Chinese iQue DS do not run on non-Chinese Nintendo DS systems, whose firmware does not include the Chinese character font.) At the 3DO company's suggestion, the majority of game developers added these files to the game CDs so that they could be played on foreign consoles. Known titles that did not feature these data on the CDs include Sword & Sorcery and a demo version of Alone in the Dark.

The seventh generation consoles have complicated matters by largely leaving the region coding of games down to the individual developer. The Xbox 360 has many games that are not region coded (as did the original Xbox, albeit to a lesser extent) and both Sony and Nintendo have alluded to the fact that developers will have the option of making their games region-free.

HISTORY OF NINTENDO

Nintendo World Report began its life as a small webpage run by Billy Berghammer in his spare time in March 1999. Berghammer's site eventually merged with friend Justin Nation's Nintendo site OPN2000 to become PlanetN2000. The site operated under this moniker until the unveiling of the Nintendo GameCube, upon which the name was changed to Planet GameCube. The November 2006 launch of the Nintendo Wii console prompted yet another name change, this time to the platform-agnostic Nintendo World Report.
Shortly after the site's fourth birthday in March 2003, Billy Berghammer retired as Director to become an editor at Game Informer magazine's new online edition. Taking over as Director for Berghammer was Jonathan Metts, who had run his own Nintendo website years prior with The Nformant. On November 16th, 2006 the site announced that Metts was stepping down as Director, transitioning to a more scaled-back role as Reviews Editor. Long-time staff member Steven Rodriguez assumed the role of website Director

NINTENDO VERSUS THE WORLD

In the spirit of mass market analysis, today's rant is going to be about the semantics of persuasion... in this case, I'm going to consider spin-doctoring in the marketplace. The free-market competition is for dominance in video game console sales, and the competitors are the X-Box 360, the Playstation 3, and the Nintendo Wii.For the purposes of this discussion, I'm going to lump the X-Box and the PS3 into the same category. These are the old-guard game systems, competing on the basis of classic qualifications like franchise acquisition and processor speed. The Wii represents a different paradigm entirely, and at the moment, it seems to be shaping the debate over the next generation of consoles. Where the X-Box and the PS3 are in a race for power, the Wii is struggling to innovate... where the old-guards are selling their new processors, the Wii is selling its concept.The unconventional Wii controller is at the nexus of this debate, and its success depends on whether it's cast as an innovation or as a novelty. This is a marketing game, and it's become a critical issue on gaming message boards. The old-guards claim that the gaming experience hasn't changed, and that it's based on good games, not on a gimmicky control scheme. Nintendo wants to prove that even in a die-hard realm like the gaming experience, the hegemony can be overthrown.Thus, the primary semantic issue: novelty versus innovation. Novelties are attention-getting but transient, where innovations are ideas that produce lasting effects in their markets.Most old-guard loyalists (read: fanboys) claim that a system withough an armor-piercing processor simply isn't "new generation," and their reliance on this term is telling: these gamers' criteria for games is established by the history of gaming, from the 8-bit Ataris to the dual-core 3.2 GHz PS3 powerhouse. These gamers expect an upgrade in graphics, speed, and dynamic simulation with every new system, and this means Nintendo has failed, because it's not building on the tradition of its supposed predecessors.Nintendo isn't so concerned with the "generation" of this system, and in a sense, Nintendo has taken on the task of subverting this linear paradigm. Its new system was originally called the "Revolution," and this is another revealing semantic choice. "Next Generation" is progressive... "Revolution" is Marxist. Where Sony and Microsoft are competing to dominate an established field, Nintendo is attempting to redefine it entirely. Revolution is a risky business, but for the dedicated developers at Nintendo, it's the only way to overthrow the corporate video game hegemony.I seem to be creating a political metaphor here, and I'm going to recognize it and dispense with it before it gets out of hand. The twentieth-century political environment was split into Communism (defined by socialism, revolution, and the enforcement of "equality") versus free capitalist democracy (defined by traditional individualism, competition, and the securing of "freedom"), and these two seemed irresolvable at times. Even so, they were united by a grand design, the ultimate struggle for social harmony and human happiness. Sometimes the only way to get perspective is to look at the total field, the ultimate domain that ties you and your opponent to the same end-goal.What I'm trying to say is that all this stuff... innovation, progress, next-generation, and revolution... are taking place within a certain domain, and despite the fuzzy focus of the new marketing push, this is a total field that can't be bought, redefined, or subverted. This total environment is defined by the consumers themselves, the gamers, and its central term isn't "graphics," "development," "innovation," "market share," or "novelty"... its central term is gameplay, and it's something the three competitors have to keep sight of if they're going to win, or even survive, the next skirmish in video game politics.

A PC game console is a command line interface where the personal computer game's settings and variables can be edited while the game is running. Consoles also usually display a log of warnings, errors, and other messages produced during the program's execution. Typically it can be toggled on or off and appears over the normal game view.
The console is normally accessed by pressing the backtick key ` (frequently also called the ~ key; normally located below the ESC key) on keyboards or the ² on keyboards, and is usually hidden by default. In most cases it cannot be accessed unless enabled by either specifying a when launching the game or by changing one of the game's configuration files
