I'll just say it.
The Wii was legitimately awesome.
It was special to so many gamers who grew up with it, and deserves way more love in the Retro Gaming community.
That is all.

It is this post right here that makes me very, VERY proud to be a follower of this Bluesky account 🤍
#1. Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess
#2. Super Smash Bros Brawl
#3. Super Mario Galaxy
#4. Wii Virtual Console(Seriously Nintendo, Scrap the NSO and bring back the Virtual Console!😡)
Did anything take Wii's place in that market? Seemed a lovely feature
I am glad so many loved the console, it does sound like a unique time.
Now if only I could get that build of Stepmania working on mine... Then it'd be PERFECT!
The only issue I see is how hard it will be to emulate motion controls in those games where it was important. I know most have standard control work around, but it’s not the same!
Also, I completely forgot how teeny tiny this cute little console was! 😍
My brain can't fathom any 3D platform as retro
That said, it was one of the first consoles i spent a lot of time on when i got back into console gaming, being easily hackable and also playing GC. Hate motion control though
My younger brither, OTOH, uses his to this day.
Fragile Dreams
Pandoras Tower
Earth Seeker
Night of the Sacrifice
Disaster Day of Crisis
Arc Rise Fantasia
And so many more. The library genuinely aged really well compared to the ps3 and 360
I may or may not still be coming to terms with also being “retro”.
Really glad Ninty put out a version of Galaxy that uses normal controls.
But also glad motion controls have kinda died out. 😅
Despite a lot of the shovelware, any games that used the motion controls well were a BLAST! I played a lot of Wii Sports.
Hell I still have my old black Wii to this very day!
But yes, the Wii is great! Mine is pretty much permanently hooked up.
I bought him a back scratcher! He never let me live it down!😂
and AND it’s an easy way to get into GameCube games
So many good games for it
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Punch Out
Super Mario Galaxy
I could go on
Got one for my kid and loved hanging out on it.
DON'T CALL IT RETRO :'(
Sorry but every time I hear the wii I remember this legendary clip 😂 disclaimer
The install base is already out there floating around too so they wouldn't need to rely on new sales
My mum playing Wii Sports is literally the ONLY time I've EVER seen her play a video game
Ever.
God what the hell i am relatively recently an adult and this was my kindergarten console
The hell
How can i feel old already???
Several good Wii titles that never got a re-release. I'm looking at you, Endless Ocean and MadWorld.
Just sayin'.
Don't forget to put that loop over your wrist!
I still don't know how my mum pulled it off. Just confidently said she was collecting one and she got it (much to the chagrin of other parents at GAME lol)
(Does mental math)
Oh.
...but we did it.
Wiggling the Wiimote to simulate the knife fight with Krauser was peak! It was like I was really trying to fend him off!
He looked at me so confused (like I was an old fart who had bought the wrong stuff).
Apparently, through all his years playing on the Wii as a kid, he never knew about the Gamecube controller ports on the top 😆
