You know what I wish Nintendo did? Four months after the Wii game out, the GameCube was discontinued. HOWEVER Nintendo should've kept GameCube games, controllers and memory cards on store shelves and say that you could play them on Wii since the Wii was backwards compatibile. The Wii could've been the GameCube's second chance at redemption.

@StrawHatMidas 10 дней назад

I agree! The game you had so many classic titles that a lot of people did not get to experience because of the sales and the hardware

@supermariof0521 10 дней назад

@@StrawHatMidas Exactly. Like the GameCube console didn't sell well, but the games DID sell well.

@LazoLad 10 дней назад

It wouldn't have been a good decision for sales. They would make games and accessories for a console people thought was done. Only the fans that knew what was going on would have bought them. Which wasnt Nintendos game plan at the time. They were trying to find a new fanbase and this would contradict that goal. But it woulda been so cool!

Too bad Nintendo fears their past failures by abandoning it. Wasn’t the first time though, reminder of the Wii U

I loved the Wii and any chance I get, I'm doing baseball. I miss the days when it was the big 3 consoles during the console wars. Each one had their own gimmick and none were the same and the only thing they had in common was couch play

@StrawHatMidas 10 дней назад

Couch gaming with friends is MAGIC. I won’t get rid of my Wii(s) for that reason. I miss the days

@theboshow9697 10 дней назад

@@StrawHatMidas I think the biggest issue nowadays is that games are so graphics heavy and the newer gen consoles are installing basically a 1060 and can't run split screen. There are indie games that do it with the unity engine but they are few and far between. One of these days I'll have an entire couch party night on my 360

Absolutely agree Wii is still one of my favorite consoles. So well built too. Nice sleek console design, functional with no major issues like the red ring of death on Xbox, and those remotes were STURDY, they'd stay together and still be functional even when you chuck them into your TV.

@ActionGamerAaron 4 дня назад

Honest opinion, but the only two worse consoles by Nintendo were the Wii U and Virtual Boy. I'll take anything else, it had too many casual games and motion controls reinforced it. It's no match to good old buttons when it comes to latency and haptic feedback. A proven gimmick to this day with how few games on the Switch utilize it.

Wii and Wii U era was the best time to be a Nintendo fan. Having all these FREE services and channels will never happen again with Nintendo of today, you just had to be there. It was an experience Scary that there's actually kids now who don't know what a Wii is 😭 The Switch is still good but it is not a complete package like older Nintendo consoles, and charging for online is inexcusable. It doesn't come close to what the Wii and Wii U offered

The Wii was the first console that got girls in my friend circle playing video games. It got people together. But then Nintendo decided to go the opposite route with every release since and make consoles that promote playing alone

@StrawHatMidas 7 дней назад

Yeah the switch is a very personal console. I see a lot of families where each kid will have their own switch, similar to a ds.

cool vid. i think i was 4 or 5 when i first started playing the wii. was born in 2007, so too young to see its golden age, but i still got to see its 2012 state. Great console, those memories will forever be burned into my personality.

Even if you did not get to experience the golden age you still have good memories of the console so thats what matters!

@StrawHatMidas 6 дней назад

Yeah I wish it had a little bit better technology but for the time it was great. I compare it to the Kinect for the most part and I think it just worked so much better.

The Wii was a disgrace, Nintendo dumbed down all their games for casuals and ignored hardcore fans. Mario Galaxy was boring, and Skyward Turd was the worst Zelda game since phantom hourglass.
