The Wii was a very weak system for me, probably at the bottom for me for Nintendo consoles. I was initially kinda hyped for it, not sure if I'd like the motion controls or not (I did not), but a fond memory I do have is my buddy waiting out in the cold at Walmart in our small town to get one at launch, picking it up with a copy of Twilight Princess. Ended up being a pretty big disappointment that I eventually sold to a friend after like a year. I have no games I liked on it and to me, the only time it was tolerable, was when it was just full on gimmick like Wii Sports bowling, but those are novelty experiences, not something I sink my teeth into. Established series didn't have games I liked, with Skyward Sword becoming my least favorite 3D Zelda game, and other series like Super Mario Galaxy were taking the games in a super wrong direction for me. It has it's some redeeming elements and some games will be more likely to win me over a little more these days with tweaks and adjustments (Skyward Sword is currently not my least favorite 3D Zelda with what I've played of it) and I want to give the Mario Galaxy games another shot if Nintendo ever decides to release them like a normal company would. |

Ah the Wii... the system that turned me off of Nintendo for more than a decade. It taught me one thing though... I absolutely hate... no... loath... motion controls. Zelda was completely destroyed by motion controls in Skyward Sword. In fact almost every game that used motion controls... including from PS3... suffered for it; only Warhawk's flying motion controls were done well. Then the hardware was basically still Gamecube quality. Granted... it would have been fine had they added HD support... which they didn't. |

A good chunk of my Wii collection are those games. |

When a company creates their entire generation of gaming around a single gimmick it often leaves a bad taste. |

Mario Galaxy without the pressing motion control would have no exaggeration been the best mario game ever made. Even present day PSVR. Motion game just is never responsive or accurate enough to feel real. And in Mark Cuban's voice "for that reason. I'm.out" lol. Also literally launch 360s had HD support. It was the standard 5 years before Wii. RGB cables well after 2010 when they released the mini was just offensive. With that said it had a lot to offer and was fairly innovative with multiple ways to play. And the virtual console and digital shop was way ahead of its time. |
