DF Retro on Nintendo’s motion-controlled Sports series – from 2007 to today
Nintendo upended the video game industry in 2006 with the release of the Wii, a console that didn’t even try to compete with the high-end power of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, instead concentrating on an immediately compelling concept: motion control.
