There’s a reason why the Wii sold as well as it did. It was very good for its time in that the motion controls were just accurate enough to not be a total frustration. It sat at a modest price point relative to its competitors, and Nintendo has always been extremely good at maximizing on the potential of their consoles with superb game design.
So yeah, I think it was actually as fun as you remember it… but that was still almost 20 years ago. No doubt you’d enjoy it if you picked one up, but I’ll bet its age will show. It’ll depend on your tolerance for dated game and UI design to know how much you’d enjoy it in the long run. Plus, I do believe that a lot of the services like the Virtual Console have been sunset.
Its really sad to me that you can no longer buy Fluidity
I highly recommend modding your Wii, opens up a lot of options for game preservation and isn’t that hard to do.
It emulates excellent too. Is modding still requiring some soldering or can homevrew be enabled w/ software on the latest models too?
