Ah Nintendo, the little games company that took off over the fence and hasn't looked back since. To say that Nintendo's recent success is surprising would be a massive understatement. The have managed to tap into an audience that Microsoft and Sony can only dream of trying to reach – it really is quite amazing.
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.
They can't even keep Wii on store shelves. I doubt they will be releasing a new console anytime soon.
Ah headline make it appear as fact when it's purely speculation. Either way, even if a Wii follow up was ready in 2010 it will not release while the Wii is currently doubling the sales of the other consoles.
2010?
Wasnt it 2011 just like a month ago?
I guess the better then wii does the better chance of its successor to appear? Doesnt add up to me.
So, they may do anything they like, make it as casual as they like, have 3000 mario games, i will never touch a Nintendo system myself ever again
..old xbox..
I bet it still falls far short of the PS3 / Xbox 360.
Either that, or it's a new cheaper, slimmer (?), wii
