The Nintendo Wii, 14 years later – Review

From Wii Sports to Mario Galaxy to Super Smash Bros Brawl there were so many games that made the Wii something truly special.
What was your favorite Wii game?

very solid points. Mentioning that the Wii outlived the Wii U with its game library

this console is timeless.

I got an old wii last year from my sister (I was the one asking, in fact). It's an original one I jailbreaked for her 11 years ago. I'd like to play old classic I missed. I played zelda TP, mario galaxy 1, rhythm heaven fever, Metroid Prime series, and I'm trying to get into Okami now, but what I really do regularly are fitness games like wii fit plus and gold gym cardio workout (clever boxing game with 2 wiimotes). Even today, I find it great, especially the fitness games. The controllers are not very precise and only a few games like mario galaxy, metroid prime, wii sport resort and zelda can really make the best out of it. Heck, even Rhythm Fever gave up about motion controllers and focused only on the buttons A and B. The Battalion War 2 game tried to use the wiimote but the game becomes quickly very hard only because of the controllers.
I don't mind old graphics. I'm kind of the retro gamer who would always go back to pixelated games like doom 1 and sonic 3&k. What matters for me are good gameplay, good level design, great soundtracks and nice well aging cartoon graphics (like zelda windwaker. Even in 50 years, it will look great and clean).
I don't have a VR set at home (still too expensive) and I'm rather trying to do some programming on PC to use the wiimote instead (with not so much luck, alas). But good to know that VR controllers are a better and more modern version of wii motion controllers.

I have four of these things, all cracked for homebrew. I was building arcade cabinets with wii's and crt's and they were great for lightgun ports

7:25 Emulating how the NES controller is held.

4:50 don`t forget the Wii U!

The Wii is underrated

I still play wii sports to this day, never gets old. This console is legendary

Can't believe how old the Wii is now. I sold my car and bought a wii and a push bike. I got the last Wii in Aberdeen City. Not sure what happened to my wii , I must have sold it. I sold my switch a couple of years ago for more than I paid for it , and bought some golf clubs. Lol.

Indoor, anytime entertainment is much more important in Trump-won counties, because there is very little to do outside the home in those counties.

I LOVE THAT INTRO SONG!!!!!

Mario kart and the tank game!!! ?☠️

I purchased my Wii 2 months ago. I have over 40 games so far. I absolutely love this console. Faves are both "House of the Dead" titles, "Dead Space," ""Mario Kart Wii," "Pinball Hall of Fame Williams Collection," Sonic Sega racing, to name a few

I love the Wii and actually had it professionally cleaned and it works like new…I love Animal Crossing , and Tree of Tranquility along with the game Order Up…good video thanks

I still think the Wii u is better the then the wii but thats my opinion

I always use Joycons in the dual-Wiimote style when playing Switch in home console mode, I don’t know, maybe most play with just one joycon sideways… I have huge hands (in fact, too big to comfortably play with certain controllers, notably Dreamcast and GameCube which always cramp my hands up). Wii and PSX are the two old consoles I still pick up and play. The Wii’s Virtual Console made my SNES obsolete… mainly because my SNES library on Wii is actually superior to my actual SNES.

“Tried too hard with motion controls”
You forgot to (cough)Skyward Sword(/cough) 🙂

I still have mine, featuring a HDD and many great games from Wii, Gamecube and all sort of emulators.

Well the good thing with the dolphin emulator there is an option where you can install the wii menu to the emulator and it still works. Not to mention whatever game that you set as your default iso you can boot it up from the disc channel.

the Wii was the first console I ever owned and I had soooooooo much fun on it.
