Also he's not throwing a tantrum he's just pointing out a flaw in a poor moderator.

Wii U is Backward Compatible with Wii
- Games ( Retail, Virtual Console, WiiWare)
- Accessories

Why Wii won't collect dust because I will keep it to play some Gamecube Games with I have two GC Controller or if I want to go back playing my Wii Games on Wii while someone else play Wii U.

Also Homebrew Channel on Wii. I go back to play some NES, SNES, Genesis, GBC/GBA and N64 games.

I have a total of 17 Wii Games and used to own a total 20 Animal Crossing City Folks, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Pokemon Battle Revolution.

The Wii is amazing and will be remembered always
mostly as a great console (haters gonna hate)

Wii is my favorite console. Nuff said.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

It's been collecting dust since a week after I bought it, what a mistake it was.

So you bought it... but didn't continue buying games? I think that is more of your mistake, Millenium. A console is what you make it.

Unless you hated every game that came out for it. 


Wrong, the games are what make a console. Backwards logic.

The Wii will be remembered socially as the most successful casual console that Nintendos ever had, but the console with the least play time of all. The 360 and PS3 will be remembered for pushing online playability and being competent media hubs. The PS3 and 360 are in a race with one another over console vitality and that is something the Wii serverely lacks. Its Nintendos least abundant console on the core game side of things as well. Their backwards compatibility allows them to play older games and thats what saves the game drought, but honestly for the gen the majority of the top games for it were first party with some third party thrown in. The Wii brought the family together with casual gaming (as short as that time im sure lasted) in a fashion where non-gamers would've neglected gaming period.

Not great for everyone. But definitely great for platforming enthusiasts.

The DS (Lite), however, is the greatest system ever created.

So guys now you plan on getting the wii u what's going to happen to your wii? Is it destined for the attic to collect dust for the next 30 years before you re discover it again, are you selling it or passing it on? What games might you keep from your collection? I'm keeping mine as I have a terrible history of not keeping old hardware and prob be still playing a bit longer yet as i want a black wiiu which prob won't be out for sometime plus there's still games I haven't played yet, I've got excite truck on the way, want pandoras tower, yet to play Mario galaxy 2 and might even get get the last story. It's been a truly great console for me and when I get a wiiu will prob put my wii back in it's box and will keep most of my games :)

I'm overly nostalgic about inanimate objects, so I'll definitely hang on to my Wii.  There is just something about playing a game on its original console that makes the experience better for me...  Plus, my Wii has gamecube controller ports, so it will be kept for brawl if nothing else.

The Wii will be remembered as the winner point, blank, period. So try again, not everyone carries the same amount of hate for the Wii as you lol. Media hubs lol, the Wii has just as much netflix use as the others but i guess you're talking about the DVD/bluray players, well news flash we already have like you know 5 DVD players sitting around and nobody even watches bluray so fail.

Thats what I said essentially. He who wins the casuals expanding into the non-gaming crowd wins the gen. Six years was enough for the Wii, it didnt have any legs after the 2011. It blew out all of the casual steam and even if there was any left Microsoft drew the casuals away with the Kinect in 2010.
