I was at first very excited about the Wii, but after watching all of the videos, I really don't think I see myself playing any of these games or getting used to this controller. I have loved Nintendo in the past and their games, but even the new Mario game does'nt look thrilling. And yes, I loved Sunshine. I just don't see myself standing infront of my Tv waving my arms about for any long periods of time trying to play any of these games. Again, it's been said before and now I really am starting to agree that this will be the craze for about a year and then die off. You can only think of so many quarcky ways to use the controller before you run out of ideas and stamina. Just my humble opinion so I hope all of the Nintendo die hards don't get too upset with me. I like Nintendo too but I just don't see this working.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
