TVGB: "Nintendo has been very quiet on their plans for the rest of the year, and this press conference is something Wii owners have been looking forward to like a wide eyed child waiting for his next bed time story. Will Nintendo announce anything new, anything for the hardcore gamer, a new Zelda, WiiSport 2, or just get through it with a smile on their face? Time to find out!"
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.
Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, the Battle of Hoth, and one of the boldest Star Wars multimedia projects ever made. Here’s why Shadows of the Empire still matters.
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. 😆
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.
As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
Debuting in Season 9, all players can try a beta of The Crew Motorfest’s new ambitious track creator, TrackForge.
Started off sh*t but got better
EDIT - That doesn't mean it was good though
it was better than microsofts conference but it was still a borefest
It was mostly Reggie boasting to himself with charts, very boring
the conference was crap
I mean yeah we have some new stuff. But they didn't show anything really all that new. Even worse, their E3 was short. MS was over two hours, I expect the sony one coming up to be about the same length as MS. But nintendo's was a little over an hour.
Last year ALL 3 where decently long. I don't want to sound like a downer, but that inadvertently speaks that nintendo won't be giving us much in the immediate future. I'm fine with that honestly, I'm happy with the few wii games I have anyway
