We went to GeekGirlCon, met lots of folks at the Pixelkin table, and had tons of fun.

Handhelds, Consoles, Tablets, Mobile, What Have You

In preparation for the holiday gift season, we go into all the things about all the gaming equipment.

  • Handhelds: Just get a 3DS (or 2DS). (But not a Vita, unless you are Simone.)new nintendo 3ds XL
  • PlayStation 4: Simone covers controllers, storage, exclusive games, backwards compatibility (lack thereof), PlayStation Plus, and more.
  • Nintendo Wii U: Courtney loves it. She loves Nintendo games, which are on Nintendo consoles only. The Wii U is sort of like a bunch of Nintendo consoles rolled into one because of its backwards compatibility and Virtual Console.
  • Xbox One: Nicole likes a lot of things about the Xbox. (Disclosure: Nicole’s husband works at 343 Industries, which is part of Microsoft.) She especially likes the Kinect voice activation and motion games for kids. Also there’s lots of backwards compatibility (you can play lots of Xbox 360 games on your Xbox One).

Look for a post next week that goes into detail about which consoles you might want to consider buying this year.

Linda learned to play video games as a way to connect with her teenaged kids, and then she learned to love video games for their own sake. At Pixelkin she wrangles the business & management side of things, writes posts as often as she can, reaches out on the social media, and does the occasional panel or talk. She lives in Seattle, where she writes, studies, plays video games, spends time with her family, consumes vast quantities of science fiction, and looks after her small cockapoo. She loves to hear from people out there. You can read more about her at her website, Linda Breneman.com or her family foundation's website, ludusproject.org.
