The Wii has been for me a fantastic console. This is the very first one that I bought the first day (actually not the first day, the first week, when my reserved console was available) because I feared the shortages. It is still working absolutely perfectly, and never had any hardware problem.
Even Nintendo was caught surprised by the massive success of their home console, by far their most successful. The Wii stayed supply constrained for 2 years.
Nintendo delivered big time on Wii, with often great iterations of their series and very few disappointment (Metroid Other M is the biggest). Nintendo really did a fantastic job and have set their image at an high time high.
Mario Galaxy was my biggest "Wahooo", this game really killed Mario 64 for good and surpassed by so much any other platformers 3D. And they decided to please the fans even more by doing a sequel and giving us more of this intense experience.
The third parties, that was really the biggest disappointment, most of them either realized garbage port from HD games or were doing exlusive and shitty games. The biggest editors were often the worst, no efforts.
UbiSoft , EA and Activision were the worst of the worst.
But surprisingly, the Wii got many GREAT games from smaller third party studio. Little King's Story and Madworld are among my favourite Wii games. No more Heroes and Muramasa were also enjoyable.
Finally the Wii was really the "hardcore" experience.
Nintendo games, arcade games, the rebirth of 2D platforming on home console, all of that made the Wii an unforgettable console.
