Kotomi, the French mod master has finally turned his sights onto the Wii, and the result is beautiful to behold. Forget the Virtual Console -- you can just snap your old SNES carts right in there and throw down. All you need is a classic controller and a lot of extra time. Kotomi has been working on this mod since February, and it was originally planned as an NES mod, but along the way, he gave in to the pervasive allure of the Super NES.
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.
Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, the Battle of Hoth, and one of the boldest Star Wars multimedia projects ever made. Here’s why Shadows of the Empire still matters.
This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆
But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.
Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.
Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.
As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
Debuting in Season 9, all players can try a beta of The Crew Motorfest’s new ambitious track creator, TrackForge.
Who understand these people... I get this article reported because it was not linking to the original source... and then when I do, people complain it's not in english? Forget posting news. Is there a way to take this post down?
Good post
just beat me by 2 min and for doing that i will approve it.
to modify my wii or use any mod chip. So it works fore many people with wiiconnect24 Nintendo can just update witha software patch to destory the systmen totally is anyone use a mod chip or and device like that. Besides, even if they don't I still wouldn't take the chance to put any mods in my consoles. I don't have $250 to just risk and throw away like that. Besides, this is a silly mod anyway because its not like everyone or even mostly everyone that ever owned a SNES or any of those 1st and 2nd gen systems would still have everygame they ever wanted. Sure you can put you games in the darn thing but what if you want a game you don't have you still have to buy if and finding it can be a hassle as well as the fact it may cost most physically than the VC game. The purpose of VC is to enable anyone that bought a Wii to have every game the every wanted buy simple download from 1st-3rd( maybe 4th not sure)gen games for an very affordable price. Any mario kart or donkey kong game on snes will run you at least $20 and I personally paid $30 for Super Metroid. I'll just stick with VC, thanks.
