The Wii is almost 20 years ago Anonymous 04/25/2025 (Fri) 17:40:57 No. 22192
Do you think Nintendo is going to do anything special for the anniversary? I'd really want a Wii Classic Edition, but best case scenario they probably just announce Wii on the Switch Expansion Pack. Having a way to get new official Wiimotes would be nice though. Choosing between Joycon gyro or mouse mode seems like a good idea too. Also, what Wii games have you been playing lately?
Honest question, what good games does the Wii have that aren't just stupid flailing gimmicks or ports from the gamecube? When I think about this console my mind just draws a blank other than it having a shittier version of twilight princess and wiisports.
>>22192 Very few good games and a lot of them were strange. Honestly I don't miss this console much its kinda like the thing that killed nintendo.
>>22192 >I'd really want a Wii Classic Edition, but best case scenario they probably just announce Wii on the Switch Expansion Pack They haven't even done an N64 mini. They wouldn't do it for the Wii. Also if they do announce Wii for NSO, it'll be Switch 2 exclusive and I'm not buying a Switch 2. That said, the Wii is easily one of my favorite of the Nintendo consoles. I remember constantly being called a casual when it was new and I still go back and play the thing every now and then. Then again I loved motion controls and still do today. Not every game I played on it had them, especially since you have Virtual Console and full GCN backward compatibility, but usually the games that had options to use the Classic Controller or Gamecube controller I just used Wii Remote and Nunchuck. Yes even with Brawl.
>>22227 Metroid prime 3 sin and punishment 2 dead space, resident evil, and house of the dead all had rail shooters on the wii mario galaxy 1 & 2 brawl is good with mods red steel 2 opoona zach and wiki overlord dark legend muramasa no more heroes tatsunoko vs capcom megaman 9 castlevania the adventure rebirth warioland shake it rodea the sky soldier new super mario bros wii xenoblade mario sports mix the conduit games were ok shooters for the time the force unleashed games had pretty fun multiplayer most the mario sports and mario kart games are ok
>>24951 S&P: Star Successor is one of my favorite games of all time. That and Galaxy 2. The thing about the Wii was that it was new to literally everyone at the time so you got a lot of experimental games out of it. A lot of shovelware because it took off like wildfire, but a lot of good and/or interesting games too. The only thing I think that was bringing it down a bit was it basically being a sort of Gamecube Pro in terms of power. People were moving on to what the 360 and PS3 were doing power wise and after a few years developers weren't going to be using too many resources just to focus on making a game for the console that's basically a gen 6.5 console. Which is even more sad because the Wii U came out so late that by the time it DID come out, we were about a year from PS4 and Xbox One. I also feel like Wii U is just a big plastic box of wasted potential that developers of previous generations would have fawned over to develop their ideas for, but that's a whole other thing.
>>24980 They should have launched an hd wii 3 years in 4 at the latest. Even a lot of analysts were suspecting one. Also the wii u was guaranteed to flop even if consumers got the message because at the end of the day no one wants a tablet you can't take independent of your console, and you could only connect one per console. The whole idea was just rushed and poorly thought out and they basically dropped motion control despite having backwards compatibility with the wii. Definitely seems like they should have just had the early wii hd since casuals would just buy the sd one (or already had one) with wii fit while hardcore gamers had already stopped buying software at that point.

>>22252 AHEM The better Wii game. >>24951 >Wario Land They still shoved in retarded gimmicks, remember the submarine section? Remember the pot with rockets levels where you had to tilt the dildo you got for a controller? They couldn't keep that shit to WarioWare and had to metastasize with the already unpopular Wario Land franchise. Only the mainline Mario games managed to pull it out.
motion control was best way to play (gyro is terribad in comparison) >best way to play splatoon >best way to play resident evil 4 >best way to play on rails shooters >best way to play no more heroes >best way to play sports games >best way to play online fps games (ps move on ps3 killzone 3) or single player fps (metroid prime 3 on wii) >probably best way to shoot with archer in 3d zelda games , twilight princess etc Guys you don't understand how much we've lost, until we truly lost it. There's no way to headshot zombies on RE4 anymore, and the splatoon is fucking joke with sticks or gyro. It's really sad we can't get another motion control option for Switch 2 with some IR accessory or whatever that thing was called, because it would be so cool to play splatoon with controls that are not utter garbage, and no mouse aiming is also quite shit in comparison. Motion aiming was that fucking good for shooters.
>>25465 Based and true. I can't imagine being a normalfag consolegroid in 2007 and thinking the PS3 or Xbox 360 were better consoles when they were inferior for first person or third person shooters, the genre post popular back then. Wii and PC mogged them
>>25153 nsmbw had shake to spin which was also necessary for grab and some item functions mario galaxy had infamous levels like the slip and slide well I don't know if they were infamous but I hated them so much I just assume everyone else did
>>25465 Ruined resident evil 4 because they took out the diagetic laser sight for some hud reticle
