Despite what dudebros and 2000s journos wanted you to believe, deep down you know that, yeah, it was ludo.
I do not care for imaginary words.
I mean, I owned a Wii. Bought right when it came out.It connected to the Internet without any accessories. It even connected via Wi-Fi! Like, bro! That's wicked.
It was and always will be rightfully regarded as a shovelware console.
The Wii was soulful and I don't regret being a PC/Wiifag for most of that gen.>a lot of good games if you look beyond the waggle and shovelware>some games like MKWii had online play that still rivals its future iterations>still focused on mainly playing games without being a full-blown "media center" like every console since tries to be>a lot of the extra channels and shit were cool and let you participate with loads of people like the Check Mii Out Channel, Everybody Votes Channel, etc.>launching the Weather Channel on a rainy day and hearing https://youtu.be/FYFTSh5MRg4>native backwards compatibility for gamecube games, memory cards, controllers, etc.>probably the easiest console to softmod and load up with a fuckton of games, backup Wii/GCN saves, etc.It's cool too that shit like RC24, or I guess it's WiiLink now, are keeping a lot of those old channels and services alive.
>>737736486>a lot of good games if you look beyond the waggle and shovelwaremost of the "epic gems" like No More Heroes and Mad World are shallow trash and would've been far more playable on real hardware
WiiFit is the single worst thing to ever happen to video games and I'll die on that hill so yeah, the Wii is a giant dumpster of "blue ocean" shovelware and sucks shit. A few good games don't save it.
>>737736728It let me browse the Internet on my living room tv.And by "browse the web" I mean, "watch YouTube vids."Dope.
>>737736954>best thing about a video game console has nothing to do with its gamesSounds about right for Wii.
>>737736581NMH on ps3 is trash
>>737736954i used the wii to jerk off to thumbnails on porn sites cause the browser couldnt play videos
>>737735838Giant Bomb is dead today because Jeff refused to even review Wii games. All those guys thought they were too good for Wii games.
>>737737493It's "trash" on anything
>>737735838It's a great console. I still play it more than my PS3.>>737736954I unironically used to browse 4chan on the Wii.>>737737542It could at least play YT videos. Don't remember if it could do other sites. Maybe GameTrailers?
>>737735838I mean the system itself was actually fucking amazing, the only problem is that it's library was overwhelmingly flooded with shovelware slop.
>>737735838Never understood people hating on the Wii. I grew up with it during a time where I still wasn't checking what other retards had to say about vidya online, and I thought it was pure kino. The PS2 I had on the other hand seemed sovlless. I didn't know how big Sony was back then so I thought of it like one of these cheap bootleg consoles lmao
>try to plug in my old Wii>no HDMIWhy must Nintendo be like this?
>>737740489get an adapter
>>737735838thers only 10 games for it and a mountain of shovelware for baby boomers
>>737740517nta but converters are fucking shit
>>737737910Genuinely what are you talking about? It wasn't even hardly more powerful than a gamecube and the motion controls were genuinely bad, especially before motion plus. It was a fucking terrible system
never owned a wii, do you have actually have to fucking waggle? if so that's retarded, what were they thinking
>>737740875>wii so old that /v/ has people who genuinely don't know how it workedFuck
>>737740875twilight princess sword gameplay is just shaking the remote over and over. the wii was the most successful shitpost campaign in the history of entertainment
>>737740939I'm 30. I just never owned a wii.>>737741017That's fucking hilarious. Wii sold the most consoles but somehow it's completely fucking irrelevant when it comes to the 7th gen.
>>737741073Pretty sure SMG 1 & 2 are in the top 10 of the 7th gen. Should have Kirby's Epic Yarn in the top 20.
>>737741269Two games still makes it irrelevant. It has none of the 7th gen heavy hitters. That's exactly why I and many other core gamers never owned one.
>>737737647Is this true
>>737741017It was so fucking disappointing
>>737740875In most games that use motion controls, yeah. The best thing the remote brought was easily the IR pointer, but I guess that was too good of an idea so it got left behind with the Wii U.
>>737741073A lot of wii babies forget just how badly wii sales nosedived at the end of its life (a pattern we didn't see with the switch). Casuals moved on to smartphones, and no gamer worth their salt wanted waggle shit.
do zappers actually make the shooters easier?
>>737741752Eh, I feel like gyro as taken it's place. Pointing/aiming is much nice more convenient when it's relative to your current position (like a mouse)
>>737735838The ratio of Shovelware releases was way too high compared to tentpole releases, and I'm usually easygoing about shovelware existing.
>>737741894>failed to remove "nice" when I changed it to "much more convenient">sound like fucking dogeKill me
