The Wii may have momentum Nintendo hasn't seen for a decade, but one fan has always felt like a winner.
Before the emergence of the "new" Nintendo, things were quite different in the world of gaming. Sure, the Game Boy had a stranglehold on the handheld market, fighting off all manner of competition, even many technically superior rivals. In the console market, Nintendo had been struggling.
The Nintendo 64 and Gamecube were both profitable for the company, but they lacked the mass market success that had made Nintendo a household name. Nintendo stayed true to their philosophy of making great and innovative games throughout those console generations, but they made some mistakes when it came to handling their image.
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 Chrono Trigger Form-ism figures of Crono and Marle have been showcased at a Square Enix pop-up store, with pre-orders expected soon.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
putting an old tech and using the same IP's for 20 years is not innovative or worthy of winning
power glove.
I'll call it a come back if want. Nintendo hasn't ruled the market like this in over a decade, it's a come back.
But that MOFO is 2 fun with a group of people. That what they are selling is fun not hype or graphics just fun. Most of the people who are buying the Wii really have no clue about what is going on in modern video games and could care less. Bottom line the Wii is cheap, and fun as H@ll.
Nintendo has the strongest brand loyalty to go along with the Mickey Mouse of video games Mario.
nowhere in that article does it say its NOT A COMEBACK, from reading it its pretty much says.. COMEBACK.. especially how it compares it to ROCKY MOVIES..
the nice thing about NINTENDO is they only do VIDEO GAMES and nothing more so they are a lot more focused in my books.. and even if they don't do well they are always profitable.. which is amazing.. considering SONY AND MS isn't..
though can't say much for VIRTUAL BOY
