The Wii being weak was one of its greatest strengths

[deleted fren]

The Wii being graphically inferior is what allowed Nintendo to put out so many great games so rapidly. (Third party companies as well)
If the Wii were HD then development times would've significantly slowed down and we would have received less classics as teams would be forced to adapt to the superior hardware.

You look at a game like Super Mario Galaxy and compare it to 3d world or Odyssey and it's clear that the later hd games have less creativity and diversity in their set pieces and level design.


One of the reasons why Nintendo and other companies have shifted into making more open world games is because it's much easier to make an open world game filled with copy and pasted content then make linear HD game filled with constant new set pieces and gimmicks.

A game like Mario Galaxy couldn't easily be made today. I predict Mario Galaxy 3 will be open world or sandbox just because the amount of time it would take to create a game like Mario Galaxy with higher fidelity graphics.

I used to live near an elderly couple who used to play with their wee, but they've never heard of Nintendo

Oh, yes, it blew up in popularity because of wii sports. I knew a lot of elderly people who had it as well. No surprise.

You should consider picking up a Wii. The Wii is basically a more powerful GameCube. I'd consider it the last truly great Nintendo home console.

Motion controls were the biggest gimmick in the history of gaming. I fell for it and stopped being enamored with them in a month like all the normalfags. Wii Sports was really fun for those couple weeks, though.

At least Wii became my Gamecube along with online support, and it's really easy to hack, so I got enough use from it.

Motion controls weren't really done well untill Wii motion plus with gyro.
The original Wiimote was more so waggle controls.
Yeah, Wii sports is a genuinely fun casual game to relax to.

I'm never getting a Wii because A. I'm homeless, B. I can't got spending my pounds on video games and C. It's a shit console, probably worse then the N64

Alright.

There were barely any good games on that console. You had maybe a dozen of good games and that's about it. It's pathetic when compared to gamecube or snes or 3ds. I hate motion garbage gimmicks that never worked well. But it's still better than dogshit switch.

Some of the best times of my life were spent playing the Wii with my brother growing up. The lego games, mario kart, wii sports resort, super smash bros. I miss it.

 

[Antorian]

I found the controller, as well as the need to be constantly on the move, horrendous.

If it was some optional thing it would have been alright.

The Wii was a trendy gimmick
