Scratch

Code
Scratch is a programming language developed by the Scratch Team. It consists of blocks, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and can be used to make code. There are many different blocks, which have been grouped into eight different categories to stop the pallete from being too big. The groups are Control, Motion, Looks, Sensing, Sounds, Operators, Pen, and Variables.

Releases
The Scratch Team occasionally releases new versions of Scratch. The updated versions include more blocks, which increase Scratch's programming abilities. Past improvements have included Lists, more Variable blocks, more Operators blocks, and the Ask function.
The current version is Scratch 1.4.

Wii

System
First released in 2006, the Wii is Nintendo's next gen system. One of it's most distinct features is motion control. That motion control basically defines the system. Once you turn it on, you are presented with a menu which you point at the sensor bar with the Wiimote (Controller) and point and click to navigate through channels like the Photo channel, the Wii Shop Channel, the Mii channel, the Internet channel. Because of Wi-Fi connectivity, you can buy games from the internet using Wii Points or even surf the web!

Games
Some people may complain of lack of games for older gamers on the Wii, but look at Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and Mad World, both games exclusively for the Wii that are rated M! The big hits for the Wii include Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, which I think will please anyone, Super Mario Galaxy, which has plently of hardness while maintaining those colorful worlds from Super Mario 64, And finally Super Smash Bros Brawl, which is basically a fighting game that anyone will enjoy. The Wii doesnt lack games. PERIOD.

Whats Coming Next?
Nintendo has created it's most revolutionary system yet, so what will come next? It hasnt been confirmed yet, but rumors say that Nintendo is working on a new version of the Wii that will support HD graphics and more that will come out in 2012. Keep your eyes peeled.

DS

System
The DS is Nintendo's latest handheld game system. Three versions of the handheld have been released. First, the original, which introduced the new system interface and touch control. Then the DS Lite came, which made all the functions of the original better, like a brighter screen and bigger buttons. The last installment of the handheld is the DSi, which redesigned the system start up menu, can surf the internet, download games, and, the biggest improvement, a built in camera with 11 lenses!

Wi-Fi
The Wi-Fi of the DS and the Lite was limited to a few games which allowed playing people around the world. That was fine at the time, but the DSi takes that to a whole new level. You can start by going on to the DSi Shop and downloading many goodies like an internet browser, interactive clocks, and system exclusive games called DSi Ware.

Other features
Some other features of the DS include Pictochat, which (sadly) cant work over the internet. Another feature is DS download play, which you can use to download demos of some games or play a multiplayer with only one game pack. The DSi exclusive features are the camera, a sound recorder, and the multitude of games you can buy off of the internet.

Pokemon

Pokemon is a media franchise published by the video game company Nintendo and created by Satoshi Tajiri around 1995. Originally released as a pair of interlinkable Game Boy role-playing video games, Pokémon has since become the second most successful and lucrative video game-based media franchise in the world, behind only Nintendo's own Mario series. Pokemon properties have since been merchandised into anime, manga, trading cards, toys, books, and other media. The franchise celebrated its tenth anniversary on February 27, 2005, and as of 23 April 2008 (2008 -04-23), cumulative sales of the video games (including home console versions, such as the "Pikachu" Nintendo 64) have reached more than 186 million copies.


Here is a picture of the official Pokemon logo.

Big-Bang, this wiki isn't only about Scratch. You can have an article on everything, as long as it's sensible. Read rules 4 and 6.

Welcome to the Scratch Wikipedia!
We currently have six articles and we're growing fast!

Comment block

The comment block was an experimental block in Scratch 1.2 Beta. It was removed by the development team after the official version and in Scratch 1.3 replaced by rectangle thing that you type into. You can now also adjust it's width.
