Wii destroyed Nintendo. People don't realize it because SALES but it did. It created a new generation of casuals that realized that waggling and shit was fun. So after Wii, they went on to mobile and other gimmicky shit. Meanwhile people were bored with the same three Nintendo IPs over and over again. Wii killed Nintendo.

The Wii was actually pretty good, minus the shovelware and forced waggle. It had a surprising number of good games and the controller was comfortable to use.

I think too many people on /v/ got tricked by the underage memesters into thinking the Wii is only kiddy shit. Then again, most of /v/ probably now IS made up of those kids.

They correctly identified the re-emergence of a large casual gaming market and targeted that with the Wii, which brought them tons of success.

Their failing is trying to cling to the same strategy of success that worked for the Wii. The casual audience they're still trying to target don't buy consoles anymore.
>>
>>335989432
The Wii brand eventually damaged Nintendo, but not at all for the reasons you posted.

It's because 7th gen went really hard into the edgy brown and bloom and realistic graphics about mid-way through, and Wii didn't have that. So people slowly over time shunned the Wii and by the end of it's lifespan it had a lot of negative connotation.

I like how people thing Nintendo did a smashing job with 3DS but it really looks like handhelds are on it's last legs.

Back then kids would excitedly inquire about that one kid with the handheld gaming device. now all kids have their own parent approved socially inclusive cellphone to dick around with, and no pocket room to bother with a gaming handhled.

Also the game experiences on handhels are becoming too consolized. on DS, I would look for it play smaller scale games and genre's generally neglected on consoles, but now handhelds are trying to be poorman consoles. It's not as unique anymore.

>>
>>335989882
Wii was rejected by casuals aswell when they realized Nintendo had duped them into buying a gimmick. Most of them ended up buying a PS3 or 360 anyways. This is why Wii damaged Nintendo. People realized they make low-value consoles that are more intended for gimmicky shit than actual videogames. Then PS4 came out with the promise of being a geniune game device since pretty much the whole industry realized that Wii wasn't the success the numbers would tell you. It sold almost as much as PS2 but its legacy is barely that of Dreamcast.
>>
>>335990548
I actually had the Wii version of CoD3, the shooting was fine but the QTES were absolutely awful and never seemed to actually register. Also had the dumbest driving controls ever.
>>
>>335990548
So what? CoD 3 is not as good as the recent ones it was a PS2 title with PS2 graphics and of course a superior system had better CoD games while Wii being kiddie 8bit shit could barely handle it so it was like the only title for Wii meanwhile PS3 got the good games with adult themes

No, all of that is wrong
Skyward Sword was considered and is in fact shit, and the GC was functionally stronger then the Xbox Og in every way except marketing and storage.

The Wii basically was about three times as powerful as the xbox og and to be honest it being an sd game machine and it's innovative control scheme basically sold the entire game industry to the entire planet,

WIthout it, the ps360 would have both died and many mid tier companies would have died and major companies would not have gotten as big as they did.

Why? They actively discouraged the casuals from getting into games with stupid marketing and deciding to market AAA games that the casuals didn't care about in the first place and completely eliminate or starve out any games that did not push the narrative that only their games were worth gettng and the norm.

Nintendo and the portion of the industry who couldnt sell to those casuls saw embezzlement tier cash on the ps360 and all conspired to sink the wii.

The wii is still hooked up in those homes being used. The problem? Nintendo dropped the system instead of keeping it going as long as the DS. They threw it under the bus to try to help the DEAD wiiu and it did nothing.

Nintendo simply decided to stop supporting it for some ungodly stupid reason. They could have just let AA and A and indies run wild with it and let their smaller teams create content for it and just go hog wild with digital games.

But no, they decided to dump it and focus on the 3DS debacle and listen to EA blow smoke up their ass about the WIiU.
Fucking full retarded.
The fucking thing was still hooked up, was still getting played, and is still getting played in my home at least. My nephews and nieces love the damned thing.

There was literally no reason for any third-party publisher to make Wii games (save from kiddie and casual shit) when PS360PC was right there with a far more dedicated buying base. This is why publishers ignored Wii. Why make a Wii game for an audience that mostly prefers gimmicky shit when we can make the same game for three different platforms, sell it to a bigger install base and actually be confident it will sell?

Publishers aren't dumb. They stopped making Wii games for a reason.

How about the fact that at one point the Wii was outselling the 360 and PS3 combined.

It's funny how the few times third parties took the Wii seriously their 'hardcore' games actually sold in high numbers.

But of course third parties operated like pic related so they often got shit sales 90% of the time.
>>
could the wii u have done significantly better (say, gamecube sales) with a name change and replacing the gamepad with better internals or a lower price point?

nintendo's biggest mistake would be their online experience. give me voice chat, give me a friends list, and give me accounts that track my purchases from applicable system to system (to be fair, i don't think microsoft or sony offer this, and i wouldn't be surprised if any of the three change this). i would happily buy smash, mk, etc. remakes at $20 + a pop if they came with dedicated online servers.

Must play games for the Gamecube, all fondly remembered and critically praised with widespread appeal:

>F-Zero GX
>RE4
>Sunshine
>Mario Party 4, 5, 6
>Metroid Prime 1 and 2
>Melee
>Luigi's Mansion
>Eternal Darkness
>Pikmin & Pikmin 2
>WW & TP
>TTYD
>Air Ride

Just off the top of my head. Now, Wii games that reach that bar of quality:

>Galaxy & Galaxy 2
>Xenoblade Chronicles
>Brawl
>Return to Dreamland
>Red Steel 2?
>Mad World?
>???

It may have had your favorite niche game but there's no denying that its library was weaksauce compared to its predecessors.

You do know that by "retro gayman", I meant playing the NES, SNES, Genesis, Turbografx 16, Sega CD, etc games, all of which are meant to be displayed on a CRT, that the Wii is capable of emulating right? I really hope you're baiting me and you're not seriously this retarded.

Outside 'of the games being cheaper to produce, the wii having 100million real active buying customers, and said customers bought anything that was even slightly entertaining or had even a little advertisement?
Yeah no reason.

Hey, lets ask THQ how dumping the wii and going for the ps360 worked for...oh that's right.

you're forgetting Mario Karts, Animal Crossings, and Final Fantasy spin-offs for both. also, wii had Metroid Prime, Zelda, and Mario Party sequels, unless you're trying to make a point about their quality.

I fondly remember this game due to the nostalgia factor but I don't think many people played it at all

If it was so successful then why Wii reviews on YT have so few views while PS3 and X360 reviews have literally millions and their let's play have such a large crowd while Wii let's play is... Well, people who waggle their Nintendo penises? That shows where people who actually know about videogames are
>>
>>335995295

There are so many more games you can add to this list, unfortunately most people will just call them shit for the sake of it.

>>335995630
1.Nintendo sues niggas. Period
2.The wii is one of those things you experience not watch other people experience.
3.Wagglan isn't something you can do for long periods.

I would like a wii sports league type thing with people getting baked and or drunk with a few guys doing really good impressions of famous sports and wrestling commentors.

Idem.

And again, you're making up bullshit.

Wii is probably one of Nintendo's biggest success. You're free not to like it but denying it is completely retarded.
>>
>>336000005
More buyers do not equal finacial success. They ruined their brand and Im pretty sure every Mario Wagglan shit on that console did not sell as good as something for true gamers like GoW

The average Wii owner had 9 games which is typical for a console.

The console market is shrinking because all those new customers have basically been warded away thanks to the third parties retarded approach to the 7th gen and now games have to be filled with DLC and season passes just to make up the difference.
>>
>>336003323
>The average Wii owner had 9 games which is typical for a console.

And how many of those 9 are shovelware? I'll answer for you: nine. There isn't a single adult good game on the Wii, it's all garbage and the few good ones are portings from PS2 (not even PS3, forty keks).

I dunno but I'm glad they put it out. Thing is a great for cheap emulation.

ITS REAL, WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!

just kidding.

Also
Battalion Wars 2 was so good.

House of the Dead 2 and 3 were still way better than Overkill.

I never got this game but it was on my wishlist. I really enjoyed Wii Sports and Resort's arcade style quick games.
