Via WiiFanboy:
Every (other) Tuesday, Mike Sylvester brings you REVOLUTIONARY, a look at the wide world of Wii possibilities.
"The holidays are a time of giving and love, and it's high time we give the Wii a little bit of tough love. I've thrown criticisms at the console and the big N more than a couple of times, and so far, it looks like most of my gripes are being addressed. This time I'm picking nits for the most stubborn issues many of us are hoping to see rectified, but seem to be on the bottom of the power players' to-do lists."
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.
Number 1 should've been online multiplayer / friends list. Wii's weren't that hard to find unless you waited until November to get one.
Oh, and please get Super Mario RPG out ASAP.
my kind of article.......APPROVE PLEASE
@ItsDubC and sidar
right on cue! Wii-boys.....keep playing with your toy (do not disrespect every other console by calling it a piece of electronics)
should have been made by Mattel or Fisher Price
@sidar Youre a pathetic excuse for a gamer. (defender of the Wii Galaxy)
I see youve become quite good at the whole lets just copy and paste what he says for dramatic effect LOL with no valid points for your console you vainly try to defend Your Gamecube2...and now youve even stooped so low as to attack Catastrophe lol please do try harder next time for some good jokes, or at least be whitty, .....Wii-Boys = Delusional
LOL sidar DEFENDER OF THE Wii GALAXY, AND ALL THINGS Wii LOL...just keep proving my point Wii-boy...
....oh and one more thing.....losing bubbles huh go figure
oh and only an Wii-f-code......no Xboxlive or Ps3 tag...hmmmm go figure ....what a coincidence from a Wii-boy in denial
I couldn't care less why people hate a console but it seems some ones opinion is something cool .....or something .
"I Hate ", yes you hate but is his/her opinion really important to us? so we can agree or disagree but posting these things as articles/news is just plain stupid.
its nothing but flaimbait
wouldnt these things fit more in a forum?
Well, there are 3 things I hate about Wii:
1.Wii Fit
2.Wii's casual approach
3.Wii's price (It's too expensive at $250 based on it's production cost and value)
Aside from them, I find Wiimote control rather amusing and specially loved using it in a FPS like Metroid Prime 3 or an adventure like Zack & Wiki.
Another Catastrophe anti-Wii article...how some are so narrow minded.
Like was already said by DUB, why can't we just forget these hate crusades and enjoy games like they are meant to be. If only everyone were as mature.
