O.k., I can KIND OF see the racing wheel being a good thing...even though it's nowhere NEAR as cool as the 360 wireless wheel. But, the golf club and racket are COMPLETELY pointless, and look cheap as hell. If you need a little hunk of plastic attached to the end of your Wiimote, before you can play a sports game...you have ZERO imagination. o_O

...will the Wii jokes NEVER END? :( :(

:p

I will probably get those gloves though, since each Wiimote will have a individual Mii on it.

wulfgar887136d ago

i have to admit im not likeing alot of those but i will have to buy 2 docking stations...thats friggin sweet

Anyone who feels the need to buy one of these is throwing their money away.

"Released to coincide with the launch of the Wii console, the JOYTECH line of Wii compatible accessories promises to further enhance the innovative range of software planned for the Wii console."

It's a piece of plastic with a rectangular hole in it, not some sort of gameplay enhancing, especially designed for the wii since day 1 thing.

Well, the power station looks kinda useful but that's about it.

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

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.

A lot of the points made here are true, yet let's give it a chance, because like the author said, the Wii was a motion control console and everyone did view it as such while the switch is not, so the way people view the game determines how much they invested in it, so again let's give it a chance and see

Ratty1570d ago

Wii sports was truly atrocious and you're saying Switch Sports will be even worse? It does not bode well for Switch Sports indeed.

Fntastic1570d ago

Wii Sports was ok for screwing around, but the games lacked depth. Also I'm not sure why it seems like they decided to stick with the automatic player movement so all you need to do is swing to hit something. Very noob friendly but not as much fun IMO.

CrimsonWing691570d ago (Edited 1570d ago )

Wii Sports was THE game for casuals. I don’t feel many casuals own the Switch. I can’t see this doing the numbers Wii Sports did.

Einhander19711570d ago

Course it won't, the Wii was a phenomenon. Something new with the motion tech. A curiosity to almost everyone. Obviously Switch sports won't create the same impact.
