"SEGA has fully supported the Wii since day one and we continue to do so - it's no secret that we are close partners. Nintendo has done a masterful job of selling its vision and expanding the market. That said, it's a shared responsibility and opportunity for the whole industry to take advantage of the possibilities of the Wii. If we don't realize its true potential, we will have missed a great opportunity to expand creatively and that is what I was cautioning against in the Reuters interview. I'm not just putting the responsibility of innovation on Nintendo. It's on SEGA and all the publishers and developers as well to carry that flag."
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.
ahahahahahahaha
ahaha
ahahahahahahaha
Nintendo probably sent them a dirty email! lol
I had a feeling this would happen and i wasn't surprised when i found and tipped the story!
I roffled my waffles.
Anyway, I still think the Wii is a fad, as SEGA said. Seriously, is there anyone reading this site, or kotaku, or joystiq, IGN, Gamespot, gamesradar, EGM, gamepro, and so on really excited for Wii games, at least more than they are for Xbox 360 or PS3 games? Unless they're kids, sole Wii owners, don't know anything about next-gen consoles, or are part of Nintendo's "expanded market", I doubt it. I know I mentioned too many people, but I bet hardcore gamers combined buy almost as many games as these guys combined. Seriously, Nintendo shouldn't forget that hardcore gamers buy at least 20 games per generation for their consoles.
I don't have the money to afford that many games but I still class myself as a hardcore gamer.
