The Wii was magical. The last few years of its life could have been better, but those first 3-4 years were phenomenal. Did you have one of these? Did you like it?
user, if you had a switch at the same age as when you had a wii, you'd feel the same about the switch.

Retrospect has indeed treated the console nicely. It was a pretty good console even with it focusing so much on the casual audience. That said, it still did have its apparent flaws and left some repercussions that would linger into the following generation and, in some cases, even the present.
Cooper Wood
Ye I had one. You're spot on OP, this thing was really good. Maybe the best console ever.
Noah Moore
>Motion controls were fun as fuck Maybe for a handful of games. For most others, they felt needlessly tacked on. Navigating the ui by having to waggle sucked. Best part about it was how hackable it was. Favorite wii game?
not OP but no. Switch is soulless, literally has nothing, online is paid, controllers are drifting like shit. Garbage console. And yes, I have one.
Daniel Taylor
I've been buying Wii games lately that I didn't bother with about a decade ago. I've had a lot of fun with Sin and Punishment 2 and am waiting for my copy of The Last Story to come in. Gonna replay No More Heroes 2 soon as well, amazing game.

What's it about?

>best console for homebrew Don't forget that one Pure, fucking, cozy. Played so many games for the first time thanks to that, including the mother series

I think it's set in the past. You're this dude that is looking for his brother but you happen to enter some Himalayan village at the wrong time. It's a nice simple survival horror adventure.

The Switch can't do half of what the Wii was known for, and none of its UI measures up.
Also modding scene is still on going with dedicated autists will updating homebrew. Wii u is an upgrade overall desu. Most due to better hardware and you can do everything a Wii can with it nodded but at better performance.
Gabriel Sanchez
The Wii wasn't like PS3 or 360. Games didn't come out buggy as fuck requiring day 1 patches. Just plug and play.
Dylan Martinez
I had one back then but I never used it beyond finishing Mario Galaxy. I want to set it up for emulators now but I lent my friend my only remote so fuck it I guess.
Kevin Sanders
The motion controls were overrated, only the IR aiming at the screen worked well. The motion controls were gimmicky wagglan until Nintendo introduced Motion Plus.
Logan Fisher
The A/V output is worse. Say what you want about resolution, but the Wii U does not have the ports the Wii has.
Modding and hacking a console to play the game's of yesteryear? You'll want the right t.v. for that, too.
I'm gonna agree with these guys. I have a switch but it's soulless as fuck. The Wii had personality.
Josiah Evans
Uhh
Zachary Cruz
> Navigating the ui by having to waggle ???? You're not one of those "all motion is waggle" retards are you? Waggle means "shake where a button would've worked".
Michael Cox
I remember using the internet browser on the thing just to hear the jingle. Every time I would let the whole animation play out before hitting start.
I never got around to buying a Wii U, and now I have no way to play Xenoblade Chronicles X and HD ports of the Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. Feels bad man.
Jack Murphy
Honestly I found the a/v better on the WiiU over the Wii mostly because I could never get the full resolution out of Muramasa until I played it on the WiiU while nothing I could do would give me a proper frame with the Wii. I do love the fact I can actually get a good resolution out of GC games without coughing up over $100 for something on my GC.
