Hadn't registered that 10 years had passed since it was launched - we didn't get ours until 2010, and it's still being used along with the Wii U and the PS4.

Could I ask what you use the Wii for which the Wii-U cannot do? GC games?

I realize this isn't directed at me, but personally, I still play Wii games on my actual Wii rather than my Wii U; initially it was to conserve the latter's disc drive, but at this point I do it mostly for the sake of purism, and cos that's where my save data is.

All of us use the Wii for exactly the same reasons as curl-6, and for the GC games (Double Dash gets an airing from the kids and on rare occasions I revisit Luigi's Mansion)

I never really trusted the transfer process from Wii to Wii U, and the idea that the Wii would be completely wiped.
