Does anyone actually remember this boomer shit here? What was the console like when it was released...

Summer 2k8
Brawl

It has my favoite games of all times on it so yes, i rember it

It being hard to get at launch made me luckily skip it. I've played my fair share on other people's wiis but even at the time it seemed gimmicky and the 360 was based so no reason to own this shit. The wii is when nintendo started with the gimmick shit hardcore and never let up since.

I was also a Christmas 2006 Chad. I knew my mom had been searching hard for a Wii but wasn’t sure if she had found one. On Christmas Eve she told me that unfortunately she hadn’t been able to get one. Then on Christmas morning the first present I opened was Twilight Princess for the Wii, so then I knew my mom had found the Wii. It was kino. My friend had to settle for the GameCube version like a pleb. I also got Madden 2007 along with Wii Sports.

That game had such a nice soundtrack

I remember here in Yurop when every kid got his ps3 and only one kid got a wii in like 2007,we all laughed at him,then one day we got to his house and all we wanted was to try that dammed Wii.

It's weird to think how many were sold yet it faded into obscurity so quickly because of how awful the controller was

Last Story

Games like Wii Sports and Wii Fit appealed to the crowd that never played video games before.
Games like Mario Kart and Smash Bros appealed to people wanting fun, local multiplayer.
Games like Punch-Out, DKCR, Xenoblade Chronicles were great single-player games that were exclusive to the platform.
Games like RE4, Metroid Prime Trilogy and Pikmin 1 & 2 were ports that made excellent use of the pointer controls and are probably the definitive versions of their games because of it.
Virtual Console/moddability and SD output made it a great emulation machine to play all the classics.
Gamecube backwards compatibility meant you had access to the great games on that system too.

In terms of mass appeal, it's probably the best console considering it had something for everyone.

He's right, in that he says "hardcore" but I guess you can't read into context. Gimmicks for the other consoles were optional addons. The Wii onward has the gimmick baked in, stock.

>what is the Virtual Boy
>what is N64's pants-on-head retarded controller
>what is the DS

Too much fucking shovelware, multiple developers cried in pain from the shovelware hitting them hard, but they had a shovelware developer mod here so we got our vocal cords removed, and we were lobotomized, never allowed to compolain about it, and forced to worship Nintendo because it was the slightly better console for PC owners.

Anyways, who here smacked themselves in the face really hard at least once with the Wiimote?

Desu I think I was 8

Only one lady died from holding her wii

*1990

>>what is N64's pants-on-head retarded controller

in retrospect it wasnt bad at all desu

Christmas 2007
None, but I got Budokai Tenkaichi 3 pretty soon after

>what is the Virtual Boy
A console that is universally considered a failure that barely anyone had and had no follow up to "starting gimmick shit".

>what is N64's pants-on-head retarded controller
You're being absolutely retarded. 3D games were not a gimmick, and the analog stick placement was not a gimmick. The dpad existed so that if 3D games were a failure, there'd be a fallback. The shape of the controller was purely experimenting with form factor, not a gimmick.

>what is the DS
I'll give you that, but it's pretty easy for someone to forget about handhelds when we're talking about consoles, especially a 2 year gap for the same generation. Which is why you felt it necessary to make that dumbfuck statement about the N64 controller.

Ordered one today
Pandora's Tower, Trauma Center and Muramasa.

You now remember that Wii only faggots defending playing bing bings while PS3 and 360 owners were playing shit like MGR and DMC4
