I was thinking about this fopr a while and I'm sure others have too,(sorry if there is a thread about this already) but doesn't it seem like Nintendo is repeating everything it did in th e8-bit generation with the Wii?

Here's some Examples:

NES and Wii both outsell their competitors by a large margin

Both introduced a new way to play games(NES had D-pad, Wii has motion controls)

Both also have similar accessories:

Power Pad= Wii Balance Board

Power Glove= Wii Remote

NES Zapper= Wii Zapper

 

I was wondering what your opinions are on this and if you know any other similarities between the NES and Wii or Similarities in any other of Nintendos systems(like how the Game and Watch looks almost exactly the same as the DS)
