I don't know which I love more: that there are still people maintaining support for the Nintendo motherfucking Wii News Channel, or that there are still people checking it.
You know what I hate though? That Nintendo had one of the best ideas for a console ever and then said, "fuck it, we're never doing that again." I don't even get it. It was super popular.
It was super popular because it was $250 cheaper than the cheapest PS3 and $150 cheaper than the Xbox 360 w/ storage at launch. It was essentially always the cheapest console you could buy.
Had some great games, the Wand/Nunchuck was cool and original, but like VR, many people played it for 6 months and then it sat collecting dust.
What idea, exactly? Because the pointer feature was fun, but not what I'd prefer to use often. The Switch has the same motion control, plus it's portable.
well they did release a second wii, wii u was very good (a huge upgrade with some amazing games).
their marketing failed though, and it got much less casual wii-style games (also caused by said marketing fail)
To me the most surprising thing is the dev of RiiConnect24 was 13 when he started coding the service and wasn't even a teenager when the original service was shutdown.
On one hand I am enjoying his thugshot being plastered everywhere; on the other, I have to see his face more. Oh well. I'll just think of the 91 criminal charges across 4 independent grand jury indictments to soothe me.
