Like all Nintendo consoles it was underpowered and had a small collection of great games and a mountain of shit.

Didn't Wii have the most shovelware games for any console?

it was literally the first underpowered nintendo console, and all consoles have a small amount of good games and a mountain of shit.

Weak gimmick console that somehow got an insane amount of games (mostly shovelware)
Atleast it's an interesting one, and digging through all those games to find gems could be interesting, can't really say that about modern consoles. Maybe it does qualify as kinda good

Gameboy was always underpowered compared to concurrent competitors. Atari Lynx, gamegear, PSP, Vita... They also outsold them like 10x so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gameboy worked because the under-powered tech meant it was cheaper and didn't eat up the batteries in under an hour.

It's debatedly the best console ever made, gamecube cross compatability, revolutionised sensor controls, plenty of cool accessories.

I struggle to think of any good Wii games that isn't from Nintendo or a port.

Most third-party wii games look like shit
HD textures on top of primitive lighting and low screen resolution make it look like those bootleg android games

The Wii was good up to Mario Kart Wii. Everything that came after with the sole exception of Super Mario Galaxy 2 was a massive shitshow.

The Wii aged like fine wine, I have mine plugged in at all times in my setup. Plus if you want to do retro gaming on the cheap you can hook one up to a CRT and have a shitton of games to play, it natively supports 240p

That said owning one at the time and before hacking became easy and mainstream sucked

Call me when Retroachivements works on Wii in real hardware.

That'd be the PS2.

>tons of shovelware
>waggle shit forced into every game for some reason
>Nintendo adapting the ugly gritty brown+bloom aesthetic
>a fucking mess of cables, controllers, peripherals, and batteries that will eventually become an eyesore and start entangling your living room setup like ivy
No
