While rumors have been floating around for quite some time a Nintendo rep. (who will remain anonymous) has confirmed that Nintendo will be releasing a New version of the Nintendo Wii this fall. This new version will be essentially the same as the current Wii models but has the added ability to play DVD movies and will be offered in multiple colors, including Black.
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.
New colors weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeee^^
As far as DVD playback woopdy do not the biggest thing in the world. They can leave it out if they want really
It's still just a Wii for wii-wii's.
@2.1: add yourself to the list and make it 20.
@2.2: I don't consider myself a lemming because I use a windows OS.
I mean, is there even a "SERIOUS" contender to windows? Especially to the end user? If you use another OS, more power to you, but I can think of alot things you are not doing on that substitute OS.
Even I will admit defeat when a goal is unachievable, case in point, (xbox < ps2 dominance) however, this generation I feel Microsoft with the 360 has an equal opportunity to actually make a decent competitor to the Sony (nothing but) hype machine.
Danm, while they are at it, why not include a blu-ray drive or hd for that matter. Nintendo is still behind in technology.
They're taking the cheap way out.. Seriously, it's going to be so funny when Nintendo Wii owners find out in a few years time that they bought something outdated... Lol looks like retro fashion is in for the time being though.. Ohhhh welll
LMAO AT BEING IGNORED BY 3 USERS ON MY FIRST DAY LOL n00bs got pwned t(-_-t)
