Maybe it is not technically Wii 1.5 but an upgrade is an upgrade and everyone likes to have the new and improved version over the old original. New features and new games available right now on a Wii near you.
FuRuy has opened a Twitter account called “Project Alice” teasing a new game announcement on April 25 at 20:30 JST.
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.

Upgrade the Wii?
Remember the N64? The memory expansion.
Haha
Forget it! I am not upgrading that toy.
actually tuning it on.
didnt nintendo have a fw update that adds dvd playback? I am sure it is capable but why don't they?
Or at least throw in a media channel for playing mov and avi and divx files. The gc could play divx used in games (rogue squadron series had some cool clips) so I don't understand nintendo being standoffish.
I actually have a cool idea. Similar to the theater in home but using the mii's stored on your system. A media channel where it looks like the mii's are sitting in a movie theater and when playing the movie you can either make it full screen or leave it looking like sitting in the theater (ala mystery science theater 3000).
Making the video full screen is what the "home" theater is lacking.
never have to buy a game again...
even if you want to support developers you could buy a copy of a new game, leave it sealed, wait untill the resell value is greater than the value you purchased the game for...
= profit?
yes.
I upgraded mine 4 days ago.
