>beat the shit out of PS3 and Xbox
Huhh?? What the actual fuck.
Beat the shit out of PS3 and Xbox
bump
it had a good gimmick for the general public. wii might be one of my least favorite consoles of all time though, just awful
>best console winning
rare, but it happens
Yeah in console sales. That’s it. 98% of people that owned a wii were old people that had wii fit. People bought the wii and never used it. It was a failed console.
It appealed the casuals AND most people owned it along with either a PS3 and 360.
Most people who bought it played it for a year and that was it, done.
>It was a failed console
I wouldn't go that far. Wii U was definitely a failure though.
>brought in millions of normies
>nornies start getting catered to instead of true gamers
Thanks for killing gaming
Well Zig Forums? For me it was Mario Galaxy and Mario Kart Wii
The normie thing is a myth, they have always been into gaming and have bought consoles by the millions, but as the hobby has advanced it's opened up more ways for companies to cater for them.
fragile dreams, last story and pandora's tower were a lot of fun
batallion wars 2 was solid, and dkc was great
dat feelin when you have nearly all the games on the list.
Also, the Wii was fucking great.
Which Top-10 would you pick?
>console that still had soul from the 6th gen won
If only that trend continued
it outlived the WiiU
Hacked a Wii the other day
Had to enter a long DNS number by motion control
Worst fucking interface I have ever encountered in vidya
Just noticed recently, people say the Wii was full of shovelware, they are wrong. It was actually mostly PORTs of shovelware games from the PS2.
So it wasn't even new and original shovelware, but rehashed shovelware, lol.
>$250 console competing with $500 consoles
>Launched with Twilight Princess
>Brawl was probably the most hyped game ever (it definitely was on Zig Forums)
>motion controls blew everyone's mind in 2006
?
meant to post that somewhere else, but i am a brainlet
Actual mental gymnastics
Endless Ocean, Red Steel 2, Punch Out, and both Conduit games.
?
>motion controls
The Wii still has the best way to play RE4. Why Capcom didn't implement an option to use Playstation Move controllers in all the HD releases and remakes for ps4, I'll never fucking know.
Also, didn't know Bully got a Wii release. Is it good? Is there wagglin?
its the ultimate normie console
In some ways it did, in other ways no. The issue with the Wii, was that many people bought the Wii Sports bundle and nothing else. Companies became scared to release software on the Wii because many games simply didn't sell.
Nintendo tried to copy their success with the GB and Tetris, to varying results.
>includes Opoona
love that game but no one ever talks about it.
Yes Bully for Wii is good. The graphics are a bit better than the PS2 original. Also yes there are additional class subjects that incorporate waggle.
Literally wii sports, the other 2 were being purchased by gamers, the wii was being purchased by by gamers and every soccer mom on the planet, my grandmother bought one, my mother, all my aunty's, I was working in an electronic store the holiday season it was released and all the women bought them.
It gets funnier, motion controls were so successful that both competitors copied them with the Kinect and PS Move. Both also copied Miis.
Surprisingly, yeah. I could recommend it over the PS1 and honestly the motion controls are well used.
360 Scholarship edition of Bully is the best.
It’s arcade air combat games for well for the platform
Anyone remember heatseeker?
PS2* i am retarded.
>kirby's return to dreamland
Absolutely fucking based. Wii had so much quality
Wii motion controls were an evolution of EyeToy, a PlayStation product.
Wii motion controls are a totally different technology, the closest analogue to the EyeToy would be the Kinect.
It's a similar principle, EyeToy was more primitive but it was definitely and inspiration for Nintendo.
Not really lol. Where's all the big third party games? It has a few gems but overall it's library is almost entirely shovelware
dilate
Controller looks like a deldo
Why the hell did they do this? No one plays their wii anymore, at least not normalfags.
Nintendo wasn't inspired by Eyetoy though. They didn't even develop the Wii technology themselves. The company that designed the Wiimote idea was turned down by both MS and Sony before turning to Nintendo. They worked it into a Metroid Prime 3 GC prototype, enjoyed what they saw, then decided to build the Wii around it
Wii games consistently topped the charts all the way from 2006 to 2012. People used it. Cope.
Doesn't that version suffer from a lot of bugs?
