The Console Wars

The Console Wars

0 INK

Sony, Nintendo, And Microsoft are at War. But to the big three, they must worry about a new enemy. The OnLive.

564 readers have visited The Console Wars since JayZeroSnake created it.

Introduction

History states there was once a supreme console that reigned dominance over all else. It had the best games, graphics, responsive controls, everything a gamer could ask for. However, it began with two people desiring to take this greatness for themselves, and distribute accordingly. Angered by this, the Supreme console took back all the copies of itself, and all its games, and cast itself off into the celestial world.

Then, born from the Odyssey, and its plastic sheets and game chips, was a fat stick of light, and a skinny stick of light. This later lead to the two similar sticks of Pong. Finally they evolved into the 'first.' Atari, and dozens of others. For a time, Atari ruled with many achievements and great things in its kingdom. But with that success came failure. As the 80's drew closer into the 90's, the young nintendo comes into the fray with their new, 'Nintendo Entertainment System' or simply the NES. In all its 8-bit glory, dozens of games, both good, and crappy flocked to the console. At the time, a hardworking plumber, Mario, was brought into the gaming industry, and became an overnight celebrity. At the same time, Sega, an equally young system was getting its plans together, along with its sega master system. It had recruited a young hedgehog named 'Sonic,' along with all the characters from his world pitching in to assist, all the same with Mario.

Slowly, people began to claim Mario was better than Sonic. Sonic Better than Mario. Atari was the third wheel, with strong followers, but in very little number. This gave birth to the first console wars. It was ended in the later 90's, with the end of Atari in Consoles, and the beginning of Sony's Playstation, as well as the Nintendo 64, both of which revolutionized the gaming industry into the 3D dimensions.

For a short time, the PS1 and PS2 clashed with the arrival of Microsoft's Xbox, a new faction based from the more neutral forces of the PC which flourished in the 1990's. This was the Early Aggression, a series of battles before what was to come next: The Second Console Wars.

Now, The Sony PS3 is out. the Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Wii, all locked in fierce competition, and constantly working on new systems. However, a mysterious new enemy will rise...

-

Basic stuff-

Ships are based on Systems like the NES, SNES, etc. (Ex. smaller ships like the gameboy are fighter plane material.), and transport troops, weapons, smaller ships, etc through out planets and engage in space warfare.

weapons mostly consist of light guns and weapons from game continuity (Ex. Simon Belmont's Whip)

Big names like Mario, Samus, Sonic, Solid Snake, Big Boss, Master Chief etc will take part. Planets will work in all sorts of ways. (Ex. Reach from Halo, an established planet, or a made up one based on a world or something.)
