Great goggly mook! Well that's a rather big rumor. Nintendo is rather protective over its IP's. Wow I wonder what THQ said to them to get this deal if true

Way to get third parties to work for them.

But Nintendo has been known to commission other companies to make franchises using their characters. Just look at the Mario Party games, which are done by Hudson, and Mario Hoops 3-on-3 for the DS was made by Square Enix.

I don't find it that odd at all.

Ya I was amazed to discover that SquEnix developed Mario Hoops. And then when I thought it couldn't get any more weird, this:

Maybe THQ will make the crappy spin-offs now and Nintendo will focus on new IP's? Hey, I can dream.

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.
