only a fanboy or hater would think that way......the wii is staying on top and casual games will help it do that cause wii will get all type of games just like the ds, while the casual games will keep nongamers happy.

Nothing lasts forever

I'm not sure what statistics this person is drawing on to come up with the Wii Bubble theory. Market Saturation? Lack of novel things to do with the product?
From what I've heard, the Wii is still selling like hotcakes. The only thing that needs to really happen is for Nintendo to start promoting a decent 3rd party library. The Wii isn't bad. I had one for a couple of months, but the lack of titles that truly captured and integrated the innovative control scheme made me drop it soon after.

sure maybe the won't stay on top forever, but love or hate em its nintendo!, they'll always have there die hard fans, i love Nintendo 1st party games, thats the reason i bought a Wii, but i agree, 3rd part devs. need to get off there asses and take it more seriously.

done some revolutionary things in gaming. This console generation is just one of many examples of that. The problem is, and has been, the fact that outside of first party games there really haven't been many good games for previous Nintendo console generations. The N64 and Gamecube just didn't have the support that the NES and SNES had. That is something that Nintendo has (for whatever reason) failed to correct. Now, there are more third party games then ever, but how many of them are good? There seems to be an inordinate amount of pure shovelware being pushed on Wii gamers these days. That is probably the key factor in the Wii bubble theory. The games being released these days cannot support the numbers of consoles sold. Eventually, sales will slow. The die-hard Wii fan will stick with it, but gamers looking for the bigger better deal will look to the 360 and PS3. It's not a question of if, but when.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

Great console, still use it

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.

This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆

Because it is.

Please re-release this.

But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.

Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.

Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.
