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
go away underage

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

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