Why has nintendo failed to recapture the magic every time? club flopped and shitted. wii sports switch flopped and failed and shitted and died. Switch2sports will also be raped and dead.

>>717319357
Wii Sports had simplicity going for it.

>>717319357
The other versions don't have anything to show off. Wii Sports wanted to prove something, the others are soulless cash-ins on familiarity. It's why Resort is the only one that came close to capturing the same thing, as it actually had something to show off too, but in that case it was more held back by the fact that the Motion Plus wasn't a huge new novelty. That, its initial release as a standalone title, and the limited number of games that the WMP was a properly utilized feature in, made it feel like you didn't actually want to get Wii Sports Resort, you just got it because you also got Skyward Sword and "you might as well"

>>717319357
resort was god tier though

Bananza is kino.

Mario kart world is kinda shit tho

how many years until wii becomes retro

>>717319179 (OP)
Wii sports always sucked. If you think the game is good you are a zoomer faggot blinded by nostalgia. Tennis is the only moderately good one on there, and even that gets boring quick. Wii sports has the depth of a kiddie pool

>>717319357
>wii sports switch flopped
It sold 16 million units.

>>717320784
and is played by nobody. Use your brain bucko.

Thank Reggie for this btw.

>>717320823
We both know that you had no idea it sold well.

>Initially, Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo President Satoru Iwata were hesitant to include the game as a pack-in title, but were convinced by Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé, who believed that Wii Sports would be key to the success of the Wii console.
What exactly was the point of Iwata as president? What the fuck did that retarded nigga even do?

>>717321083
The sales don't matter.

>>717321249
I miss Iwata and Reggie. I miss Nintendo Selects. I miss Miiverse. I miss most of my gaming friends not knowing what Nintendo was up to and me being their only source for whatever shit I had on Wii U or 3DS.

>>717319179 (OP)
>>free pack-in game
Only by a technicality, because bundles with it were more expensive by about the amount the game costs.

>>717321479
I miss when Iwata and Reggie would do goofy shit and then Bill was just there and sometimes he'd do goofy shit too.

>>717321530
I think you're thinking of Wii Sports Resort, m80. Came out in 2009, couple of months prior to the Wii's price cut ($250 to $200). Later that year new bundles of the Wii, including Sports + Resort were released at the original price of $250, but "standalone" releases were still produced and marketed for $200.

>>717321792
Furukawa and (((Bowser))) would never

you know this shithole board is running out of ways to cope about the switch era success when /v/jeets now have to pretend to like the wii and ds generation

reggie also censored the localization of far more jrpgs and jp games in general than gayman ever did, so there's that

>>717319357
The #1 thing was that it was a lot of people's first-ever experience with wagglan, so it stuck in a lot of people's minds.
For me, I don't even think I bought a second game for at least a month, probably more, I just played the fuck out of Wii Sports and dicking around with the channels for a long time before actually buying a game.
That said,

>>717319179 (OP)
Unironically, yeah. Wii Sports sounds fun right about now, it offers something I don't have access to outside of my Quest 2 and I don't wanna wear a headset right now. (Also I need to rearrange shit to make more floorspace.)
MKW is just another Mario Kart game and the only major difference is the open world thing, which is more a negative than a positive thanks to that intermission shit. Also I don't think Mario Kart is really built for having that many racers, it's why everyone likes to sandbag and avoid 1st like the plague if they can.
Bananza, IDFK, just watching it makes me want to replay Odyssey, and it's also putting me in the mood for DK64. It doesn't help I don't care for cute and funny characters, and DK emoting so much is giving me nasty skinwalker vibes, I get some weird mix of annoyed and creeped out looking at him.

>>717320479
You can still talk about it just fine here. No need to pollute /vr/ with your Brawl threads.

>>717322349
Why would they censor this one? It's not like incest or boobs are involved.

>>717322521
schizo

>made it feel like you didn't actually want to get Wii Sports Resort, you just got it because you also got Skyward Sword and "you might as well"
I think you got that backwards, lol.

>>717322545
quite literally the excuse was "haha funny silent ninja joke is better than the original writing"
in reality troonhouse during that era was extremely lazy with their trannylations and often straight up gave up many times and cut content from a lot of games or simplified it with dogshit jokes
coincidentally troonhouse only stopped being this lazy when MTL solutions became "good enough" to copypaste and still get a rough halfway decent english translation after a minor editing pass

>>717322545
and again, this is hardly exclusive to vidya, if something is even slightly hard to TL, they straight up cut it out or make shit up
