No company frustrates the soothsayers quite as much as Nintendo. Across the land, divining rods are being snapped, crystal balls are being smashed and tea leaves are being stamped on in fury - as the firm whose death has been predicted countless times reveals itself once again to be in rude good health and ready to take on the world...
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.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
this is a must read. It's a good point on how many times people have said Nintendo is going to "pull a Sega" then eat those words later ^^
yea nintendo is gonna come out top in all departments sooner or later they are generating substantial profits from the Wii and Ds and both are proving to be massive hits with the next gen gaming styles touch screen and motion sensor i cannot believe the interest the Wii has generated myself the mote and nunchuck is for sure the way forward for console gaming it is what console gaming has been missing, the days when u used to realy gag for the new console release were realy not happening anymore when it comes to graphics, because people can see good graphics easy at home with the development of more powerfull pc hardware so this kinda subtracted from the buzz u got when buying a new console , but when it comes to the Wii this is what has been brought back in my view the buzz again of something new and different and wandering will it be any good , will it work the way u interpret it u cant wait to get ur hands onnit it because its totally different than what gaming has been like in the past and it has changed the way u play games for the better, so then we go back to the graphics part that can be easily resolved the main fundimental point is that gaming has changed for the better.
This article is highly recommended.
That was a good article, and I believe that Nintendo is here to stay. Nintendo has learned alot throughout the years.
are the future. If the next MS or Sony systems have them, I won't be buying any game console. The 360 controller is perfect for me.
