Renowned sandbox MMORPG, Albion Online is available today on Xbox Series X|S as a free-to-play title.
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.

Depends if it is suited to the application.
Motion controls will not replace the mouse and keyboard or the steering wheel or the joystick. Give me the controls best suited for the game.
The Fight is awesome with Move controls. Also Golf and Tennis.
The simple answer is 'no'.
I think so, it made the market more accessible for soccer mom's and the elderly, a market that wasn't there until the motion controllers.
Do we actually need video games?
Stupid.
