I have almost all if those games. Nice!!!

Imperator5780d ago

I remember people saying this was Nintendo's last gen and whatnot. On one side, I'm pissed off that they completely ignored their core fanbase (at least, until now), but on the other I'm glad to see them succeed. Gaming would not be the same without Nintendo.

Seferoth755780d ago

I always have to laugh when someone with a Sony avatar starts talking about Nintendo ignoring their core fanbase but you never hear actually Nintendo fans complaining.

Probably because real Nintendo fans already know they released more core franchises for the Wii than either the GC or N64.

It is always nice to hear from a supporter of another company though as to how I and millions of others feel.

Imperator5780d ago

I've never bashed the Wii, even though I am a PS3 fan. In fact, I'm really excited about this year for the Wii. Nintendo completely amazed everyone at E3 and pulled an incredible line-up out of thin air. All I'm saying is that for the last few years, Nintendo has obviously focused on the casual crowd (just like MS is doing now).

I'm not saying their weren't any core game, I'm just saying that there weren't as many as I would have liked. That, however, is the past. Right now, the future looks great for the Wii's core gamers.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle22d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg28d ago

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.

Smellsforfree28d ago

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.

Loktai27d ago

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.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde29d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy29d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12529d ago (Edited 29d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
