EqualOpportunityFanboy.com attempts to figure out why Nintendo hasn't released a hard-drive add-on for their best-selling Wii console, and gets a little worked up while doing so.
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.
The wii cant handle a HDD due to its inferior hardware.
I think the Gamecube era hardware selling for $250 would be sign enough that Nintendo doesn't give a damn about giving consumers value or modern features.
...if I used to play it.
(the wii is more of a party activity at my house)
The average Wii owner won't even use up half of the Wii's internal memory..cuz they don't buy alot of games other than..the crappy 1st party games...and GH3...
the only reason i am not selling it yet is because of the Wii Mario Kart..
