so are we just gonna forget that one time nintendo sold some cringe waggleshit and like a hundred million people fell for it? What about that time they made numales flail around in cardboard costumes? How about that time they took the surpluss supply of some nvidia knock off apple tv chip and crammed it into an iPad that looks like it's from the 80s? no?
get it? it has two screens!!!! double the gamer moments, hella epic sauce
Sorry mommy didn't get you a console kid
If they hadn't sabotaged the controller by forcing it to remain viable when held sideways it could have actually been ergonomic. The Gamecube already demonstrated the diminishing returns and limitations of a second analog stick and the Wii was slated to address those shortcomings.
Even wiith its limitations, the console pretty much showed off how First and Third person shooters could be done properly by contrasting the peak of GC era shooters against their equivalents using an input device with the snappiness and fine control of a mouse.
Instead of actually capitalizing on that Nintendo got the reputation of the baby toy company and everyone moved over to Sony and Microsoft to make shooters that literally play themselves.
The C-stick nub that people always complain about was never actually any worse than modern right analog sticks, there was simply less handholding involved to correct your inputs.
actually people play shooters on PC
Pointer controls are amazing and the only enjoyable way to play a fps. 480i is already too high a res but not as excessively wasteful as 720p and higher. I liked my wii. I hated my PS4pro.
It did give us this charming work of art.
>work of art
if you're 14 lol
Art is art, regardless if it's juvenile.
That controller looks like a deel doh
The Wii is when I completely abandonded Nintendo and refused to ever buy another Nintendo console. Stupid ass name, even cheaper looking design than the gamecube, horrible controllers, jut utter garbage. I still seethe over how popular it was, even my boomer parents bought one
Donkey Kong Country came back for a while thanks to the Wii. Returns and Tropical Freeze are so good.
Remember the woman who drank a ton of water in a contest to win a wii and died from water poisoning
i bought a stack of wiis at an estate sale for 20 USD
Are we just going to forget that both Microsoft and Sony tried to cling to the gimmick? Are we just going to forget the Move which was an even worse Wiimote?
Trying to push a gimmick vs forcing that gimmick on anyone who bought a wii are not the same
The Wii was a success and had plenty of good games in its library. It's been nearly 20 years, let it go.
Anyone who bought a Wii knew what they were getting. In fact people bought it because it had motion controls.
>Anyone who bought a Wii knew what they were getting. In fact people bought it because it had motion controls.
It's still garbage and no the library was not that good
This cringe waggleshit is more fun to play than whatever black hole entertainment you enjoy on your gaben peecee
I remember the wii vs ps3 commercial
I forgot how cool the wii looked
>cool
It looks like an off brand dvd player you'd find at a dollar store for like $14.99 made by a company named Shockee or PremierVision
Sure took up a lot less space than the ps3 did
Who cares unless you live in a literal cardboard box
Normal people who have guests over occasionally and don't want a giant grill looking thing sitting under their tv, probably.
the wii and ds were ludo actually and i don't care what you fags think. the ds especially was brilliant, i wish someone would made a PC that's exclusive to dual monitors. waggleshit was annoying but there were some games that made great use of the technology, like sports sims and flight sims
It played all my GameCube games, emulated retro games, and let me play the two Mario Galaxies, good enough for me.
A modded Wii is only beated out by a modded Wii U as Nintendo's best console.
It was the only console of that generation to actually have a few games worth playing and have hardware that didn't shit itself within the first year of ownership
I will say this shit about the 360, i was smart enough to pony up for the best buy warranty which got me a brand new console as soon as each of my 360s red ringed so i just kept upgrading and upgrading until i got an elite which has run smoothly for well over a decade now. also whenever i brought back the console to best buy i kept all of the accessories so now i have like 6 controllers lol.
7th gen was literal garbage. There is nothing worth playing that gen. The only people that care are zoomers and the only people that shit on the Wii are zoomers that still are trying to present themselves as mature gamers.
