GamesIndustry.biz talked to Nintendo's Laurent Fischer about Wii sales, the current stock shortages, how it sees the threat from Sony's new console and why it isn't afraid to delay its key titles if the development team says so.
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.
There's gotta be some Wii fans on this site surely. The vast majority of popular articles on here seem to be about the PS3 or the Xbox 360.
Why not just rename the site: PS3 vs 360 and be done with it!
I've got to admit I've just been waiting for some new decent games to arrive, I've played Wii Sports, Wii Play and Zelda. When's the next round of quality games gonna come?
Super Paper Mario will be the next big hit. It comes out in mid-April.
True about most people on here being a 360 or PS3 fan though. I think all the Wii fans are just sitting back laughing at them though... While they argue, the Wii is quietly kicking both their asses.
