RPGSite takes a look at Nintendo's decision to include a game with the Wii, and see what others - core gamers, casual gamers, game journalists and even non-gamers think of it.
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.
Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, the Battle of Hoth, and one of the boldest Star Wars multimedia projects ever made. Here’s why Shadows of the Empire still matters.
This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆
But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.
Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.
Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.
As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
Debuting in Season 9, all players can try a beta of The Crew Motorfest’s new ambitious track creator, TrackForge.
I'd buy Wii Sports anyway, and who wouldn't if they really thought about it? If you have friends, parents, or older family members, there isn't a better game to get them playing!
I wouldn't buy Wii sports but it's a nice pack in. I like the fact that the one pack in will give us a bunch of different games to play that show off the various features of the remote. I'll probably be buying Zelda and Red Steel with my Wii and those aren't as interesting to show off to friends and let them play.
Yeah I had it on my to buy list. So I can just scratch that one off anyways. That's what it is a party game. Now don't get all upset but I like the fact that Nintendo thinks you'll accually have people over and want to play games instead of telling your friend to go home so they can jump on their own console so they can play together...
I'll pick one up when I can walk into a store and get one.
I`ll definately be getting me one this winter!
