>>713474286 (OP)
Only two flaws are
1. waggling - but this can be fun and a good thing in games like No More Heroes
2. weak hardware - even this can be a positive because this way we got many niche games we probably wouldn't have otherwise and many games with glorious 6th gen aesthetic

Woo had a lot of great games in spite of its gimmick which 9/10 hampered the games it was attached to

Still have a lot of Wii games in my backlog.

>>713474609
People make fun of Dobby but if you go to any of the constant console war threads those guys act exactly like this.

>>713474286 (OP)
For homebrew, yes.

>>713474286 (OP)
Only for GC and emulation. Wii library fucking sucks if you aren't a soccer mom.

>>713475081
Waggling was pretty fun in a bunch of games and helped making them more engaging, especially b movie type games like picrel, Reginleiv, Shattered Memories, No More Heroes or picrel

Pointer aiming is fun anyway, see Red Steel 2, Metroid Prime 3 or picrel again

>>713474286 (OP)
No. One of the worst pieces of shit ever made.

>>713475291
>Wii library fucking sucks if you aren't a soccer mom.
Nah it's great. It's a bit like this meme though, normie midwits wouldn't really get a masterpiece like Little King's Story for example

>>713474286 (OP)
Yeah it's pretty good, has a lot of fun games and you can mod it pretty easily to use as an all-in-one emulator

>>713474286 (OP)
It's good for GC games, yes.

it's kino when hacked and hooked up to a crt

>>713474286 (OP)
it has quite a lot of exclusive >85% games, so yes it's objectively a good gaming system

Worst bunch of first-party nintendo games but some decent exclusive third-party stuff

>>713474286 (OP)
yes but not for wii games

>>713474286 (OP)
The Wii by itself is a 7/10. The gamecube compatibility and the fact that it is easily hackable made it a 10/10.

>>713474479
It was my favorite console of gen 7. I never took to the 360 or PS3. I also don't care for the Xbox One or PS4 or Series X|S or PS5.

I stuck around for the Wii U which deserved a whole lot better than it got since it could have opened things up to new types of games. Switch was interesting in the beginning then I got bored. Now I'm basically PC only with retro console/handheld setups which I assume is where most people end up after playing games since at least the NES, SNES and Genesis like I did.
>Tendie!
Not necessarily. I was much more of a SEGA guy growing up. While I liked the NES, N64, and the Wii, I didn't connect with the SNES like everyone else seemed to and I honestly do not care for the Gamecube. Handhelds though I liked the OG Gameboy, the GBA SP, the DS Lite and DSi.

>>713474286 (OP)
Would be a 10/10 console if having a GameCube disc in the disc drive made it immediately boot into GameCube mode so that I don't have to grab my Wii Remote just to play cube games.

>>713475678
pedo game

>>713474286 (OP)
Better than the gamecube and wii u but not as good as the ps3 and 360 it was in competition with.

>>713474286 (OP)
Well it's almost useless with Dolphin existing but the console itself was great, yes. As much hate as the motion controls get they actually genuinely felt fresh and enhanced quite a few games. If you aren't a crybaby Zelda SS is amazing with them. Red Steel 2 is also one of the most underappreciated games ever.

>>713476315
>but not as good as the shooter consoles
LOL. Lmao even.

>>713476478
Hi Dobson

>>713476315
If this was true I would have more games in my PS360 emu game folders

>>713476168
Also should add that I loved the Genesis, had a Game Gear, would have begged for the Saturn if I knew it existed at the time (got an N64 and PS1 though so it was still great) and the Dreamcast was fantastic to me even though it was only around for a short time.

I'm glad that it's very easy to map simple waggling to buttons in Dolphin

>>713476432
The problem with SS was always the annoying hand holding, not the motion controls.

>>713474286 (OP)
It runs gamecube, so I guess?

>>713476575
This is more of a personal issue.

Wii is retro btw

>>713476668
Well it's a linear dungeon crawler that doesn't even want to have a lot of open loop. Unlike every other Zelda, there isn't even an overworld connecting dungeon areas. This bothered me a lot back then but after Zelda becoming open-world slop I learned to appreciate SS a lot more. There is a lot of good gameplay, level design and art in it.

>>713474286 (OP)
I've got one hooked up to a hard drive of games. Yes, it's good.

Pretty good overall, way too much shovelware and most of Nintendo's first party games were shit, especially towards the end.

>>713477052
NoA didn't even want Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower at first. They were completely out of their mind. And to this day there are decent Japan-only Wii games.

>>713476668
The motion controls are fucking shit too. The game is bad all around.

>>713476432
The thought motion controls had me so hyped as a kid, this trailer made it look like it would be the perfect console controller but then you play it, and it's not all that accurate. Red Steel 1 was very disappointing but still kinda cool for the time. I never got around to playing Red Steel 2, but I remember people praising back then, I should see if I still have my Wii controllers in a bin somewhere. https://youtu.be/KTOgsoxIyZw

Still the best version of Resident Evil 4

>>713477407
Can't you fix RE4 PC with mods pretty easily? You shouldn't have to do that, but it's more accessible to people than the Wii version.

>>713477407
nah, HD Project killed it. GC is better anyway, the motion controls are laggy and for some reason they didn't include the thermal camera.

>>713475248

I didn't even really want one, but now I have one on the way for $30--should I just install cfw and use it like dolphin for gc and native wii games?

>>713476432
>motion controls get they actually genuinely felt fresh and enhanced quite a few games
silent hill shattered memories was so good if you were lucky enough to experience the game as intended. for example
>accidentally move wiimote and nunchuck a lot while harry is sitting in the car
>driver asks why he's fidgety
>affects the profiling system
>when hiding from monsters under a bed or in a closet they are more likely to spot you when you move your controller so you have to stay quiet like harry
also just great visuals, fun decision making and great pacing while all other silent hill games have awful pacing

>>713478119
The textures were remade and so were the models.

>>713478623
That's a good deal. Hacking it is retard-proof, so yes.

>>713478668
the game still clearly has retro game fidelity, it just looks uncanny valley with the mod

>>713478668
It's easily the best remaster ever made and it was a fan work, by 2 guys.

>>713478782
It doesn't.

>>713475406
>Little King's Story
Peak. It's a shame how broken the Steam version is. I hope no one plays it thinking it's representative of the real game just because some dude released a patch (it's still a broken mess with it).

Play it on Dolphin.

>>713478891
it does. you can see the n64 hand in this picture >>713478829 and everything clashes

stop shilling your gay mod

If anyone is curious about how the Monster Hunter series started, the Wii remaster of MH1 is great. It modernized the controls and there is an English patch

>>713479089
The new Leon's model is pretty high poly, you are retarded. But enjoy your subpar experience, you deserve it.

>>713474479
Best console of that generation

>>713479089
kill yourself mate

I still have my launch model one but the disc drive is fucked. I don't use it, but I've thought of either fixing the drive and finally doing a HDMI mod on it, or converting it to a handheld since that seems easy as shit.

>>713474479
>>713476168
>>713479378
Its funny that people who love video games will say this is the best console of the generation (it is) while people who only pretended to love video games will say it was 360 or PS3 that was better even tho they don't play any of those console games anymore.

>>713474286 (OP)

Metroid Prime 3 was pure magic and fun with waggle controls

>HDMI mod
There is literally a simple adapter that plugs into the back.

>>713479657

It’s still the only system I can play TvC and Endless Ocean 2 on, so yeah, I’d say so.

>>713479725
>HDMI after component
Why would you do that?

>>713479725
And it's fucking garbage.

>tfw this is actually pretty cool and a completely different version of the game

>>713476658
What is even the point of this tech.

>>713476918
This was the last zelda game with real dungeons and for that it can't ever be the worst zelda.

Wii was good. Graphicfaggotry was for retards and faggots.... you can see the modern landscape of gaming as evidence of why was bad.

>>713476168
I'd reccomend a hacked 360 for the multiplat machine slot therefore as secondary. Injustice, Super meat boy and Blur were above average titles.

>>713475304
DISASTAH!

>>713476208
This game is fucking amazing, gameplay is a bit clunky, yeah, but I can't recall a single game that covers a melancholic feeling like this one.

And deservingly; that model self nuked. Slim E is the only good 360 model.

This game felt so surreal, both the time looking forward to it and actually playing it. Great time.

>>713485389
the second game's reveal trailer is still the hardest i ever basedfaced in my life. i love both 1 and 2. 3 is a big downgrade but still good as well

It's definitely downhill for Nintendo since DS/Wii in terms of first-party quality and quantity. Wii U was a catastrophe, Switch 1 sucked after its initial year and Switch 2 is them not even trying, just Switch 1 with slightly better graphics and still no games.

>>713483442
I didn't dive into Wiiware myself yet beyond Onslaught, the Ace Attorney release and CS and La mulana.

>>713474286 (OP)

best pikmin-like to this day and imo even better than pikmin

In a way Disaster feels like a pure video game, it can feel gimmicky but for the most part it's pure arcade gameplay back to back and quite challenging

Ray is a great character and had potential to become Nintendo's Snake. All they had to do is polish the game a little more for normies, hype it up and a franchise is born

Great soundtrack anways

>not one mention
Cringe. Indie games can never ever replace midsize Jap studios making niche games like this

>>713489382
>>713490332
Games like this or also Red Steel 2 and Zack and Wiki are still worth owning a Wii for. Impossible to emulate without turning the controls into an abomination.

>>713490498
can't you just use wiimote/nunchuk on dolphin with an adapter? though i assume it needs a sensor bar? can't imagine that to work well when sitting at your desk

>>713474286 (OP)
Nintendo platforms are amazing retro consoles because the iconic first-party titles that you buy the retro console for are all bangers and no one gives a shit about the 3rd party library 20 years later.

>>713476873
Fuck

For it's time, yes. It was fun system with cool spin on how you can play games. I was 10 when it came out and had a blast with it. Plenty of great nintendo kiddie games on it if thats your thing, the motion controls were fun and worked decently well. There were some games that were ported to it that also added support for motion controls like star wars the force unleashed, I've seen people say they loved TFU on ps3 but didn't like that it was graphically downgraded for the wii which is completely understandable, but I had the fucking time of my life getting to actually swing the saber by swinging the remote and shit around. That shit was so fucking dope as a kid, made you feel like you were actually doing it. Monster hunter on it was pretty tight, brawl was fun and me and my friends favorite game to play together, and in the current day its definitely worth keeping around for emulating/modding games. Also it was pretty cool of nintendo to at least acknowledge the issue of kids playing games and not moving around enough, wii sports and wii fitness were pretty cool. Overall it was a pretty fun and innovative console for it's time in the kid/family demographic. I got my grandpa to play wii sports and wii fitness with me.
