Forget contemporary computer games such as Air Guitar and Rock Band -- it's time to dig out Nintendo Game Boys and Sega Mega Drives from the attic thanks to a music innovation which is transforming old school consoles into musical instruments.
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - When Seattle's Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center signed on to be the sole beneficiary of the "Child's Play" charity last year, it set its expectations relatively low.
Japanese gaming giant Nintendo has gone retro with a classic version of its 15-year-old Game Boy machine and a collection of original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) titles from the mid-'80s.
On a recent trip to my parents' house, I unearthed a long-forgotten treasure: My beloved old Nintendo NES game console, circa 1986. Right next to it was a shoebox filled with my old games.
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Nintendo's president doesn't mince words: The gaming industry, he believes, is in the midst of a crisis of innovation, which could lead to its demise.
