I hold the Wii pretty high in my head. However, I also know that the grass is often very green on the other side.

Is it actually as fun as I remember? I see that a lot of the classic games are pretty rare so that is not reassuring.

    The Wii is great. Play games that make the most of the wiimote and nunchuck, those are the best.

    My favorites were Metroid Prime Trilogy made/remade for the wii controls, and Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess / Skyward Sword. And the fun arcade/sports games like bowling, golf, Mario Galaxy, etc

    Looks like I missed House of the Dead 2 and 3, so I may try to find a used wii and used copies to play em. It’d be awesome if Nintendo released a Wii Classic like the NES and SNES Classics.

        Why does the idea of a Wii classic inherently deny the possibility of an n64 and GameCube classic?

        Also in my opinion I don’t think any other classics are happening, think Nintendo are all in on NSO for their old games now

          Because NES classic came first. SNES came like a year later. If we WERE going to get another classics line, it would clearly be N64 classic. Then Gamecube classic, THEN Wii Classic.

          Then they could do WiiU classic, but in keeping accurate with historical console sales, they’d only produce 50 total.

            Except who actually is old enough to remember the N64? It is old enough that that demographic is small

            This post was specifically just talking about the wii though. It had nothing to do with talking about the n64 or GameCube. And in doing so was never about “skipping” them, they were not the topic of conversation
