"A Dutch video game and hardware distributor has let us know that Wii and NDS shipments have not been delivered for the past 2/3 months in the Netherlands. They speculate that Nintendo has a production problem and is withdrawing distribution to the respective regions in order to cope with the demand in bigger markets."
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
i just want a Wii so that my daughter doesn't take over my ps3 all the time. still looking for one...
Maybe they underestimated the demand, or maybe they intentionally wanna keep the big hype alive by making sure the Wii's are always sold out, but when the PS3 drops to 300 euro and the 360 follows, I wonder how many people are still willing to hunt after a rare Wii...
Also, I'd like to see Nintendo come out with a Mario Galaxy bundle, for all of us people who dont have friends or family to play with...
I just can't believe after a year they haven't been able to ramp up demand enough.
I think they're working to artificially constrain supply.
....yet, its still out selling the competition
poor fanboys.. silly with their comments like its going to help their systems sell any better....nintendo and wii is on top for a reason cause nintendo knows entertainment means games that appeals to everyone and to cater to different people.. not just toy soldiers that likes to play shooters all day long.. once shipment is fixed the wii will be back to doubling the other systems
