Currently I don't use my Wii at all, but when the Wii first came out I really liked the idea. It was different, and Wii Sports, and also this arcade table top game compilation. Is probably the only 2 game I liked and played on the Wii In my opinion the Wii is is better when hooked up to a massive screen television. With a room that is large enough to make it more fun to play standing up. Like Nintendo's previous 2 consoles. Some of the Wii games are excellent party games like the "Just Dance" games. My sisters used to love one of the Just Dance games for the original Wii. There were lots of family and friends playing the Wii sometimes when I would visit a relatives house. But I wish that I knew more of the video games that made use of the Mii feature like Wii Resort or Wii Sports. I loved the Idea of the create a character mode with the Wii menu than playing as your created character and build up it's levels. I like the Wii :-\ but I don't really like how most games have the motion controller. Other words I only like to play the with another person. I really have good memories of playing the original Wii Console with friends and family in summer or on the weekend visits to a relatives house |

The Wii is a solid console that was a victim of its own success. There are fantastic first party games, terrific online games, easy to mod, but there is such a deluge of crap shovelware that the system legacy has been tainted. |

I've skipped the system altogether when it first came out from 2006 onward. Only recently, 2016 I decided to buy Nintendo Wii for the first time. Since the hype died down, and games are dirt cheap :P. My first impression was the Wii-mote is fun to use, better with the Plus add-on. The first two games I played were Super Mario Bro. Wii and Mario Power Tennis. Solid game play, and the motion controls in Mario Tennis made it more enjoyable than on the Gamecube original IMO. Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Sin and Punishment: Star Successor were also excellent games. I find myself coming back to Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, especially the mini-games with friends around. Overall I think Wii gets 50% right, but seem to have an abundance of shovel-ware compared to GameCube. |

The Wii is a solid system, with a fairly diverse library, & I enjoyed it immensely. Also, now is the time for anyone who's interested to buy in, while supply is plentiful & before nostalgia spikes kick in about 10-15 years from now. |

While the console is 95% shovelware, it's still an awesome console for those 5% of games that are amazing on it. At the time it was new I was very into it and played the hell out of Wii Sports, Twilight Princess, and Elebits. As I got back into collecting, and especially when the games on the Wii got cheaper, I found a ton of great games on it, some I knew about, some I didn't. Beyond the console itself, I have a lot of great memories around getting my Wii and playing it with my girlfriend at the time and various friends. |
