Nintendo's George Harrison popped up over at Forbes.com in a video interview in which he discusses Wii supply issues, and what's next for Nintendo.
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.
This is the same guy that praised Nintendo for adding a GIMPED dvd player on the (dearly beloved) gamecube, i.e. those sh1tty mini-DVDs, and he's the same guy that turned arrogant from humble in just one day; and all for what, managing to salvage the Gamecube project? Yeah, that's something to be proud off. Nevermind any other kind of technology achievement, selling dated tech is a fine achievement as long as you make money (Capitalism, right?).
I'm not getting a Wii until it's $99 and freely available.
