It was 1985, not too long after the dreadful Videogame Crash. No business in their right mind would attempt such a risky, crazy, ultimately doomed to fail endeavor that was the videogame fad...
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.
People don't give Nintendo the props they deserve. They've saved AND taken gaming to the next level multiple times. Any REAL gamer would respect Nintendo, whether they like them or not. They've proven the nay-sayers wrong time and time again.
nice.
now 2
Agreed Nintendo are legendary, there's a reason why the WII is leading in sales.
