A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

EDIT: i should've mentioned that the actual game is wii fit!!

i didn't think much of it when it came out, but i never woulda thought it could be this effective. its too bad this kind of game didn't get bigger?

Got my wife one recently. She like the yoga bits, in guess. But, it's in the closet.

Wii is still set up...what games are you digging?

heck i got like 3 or 4 wii's in totes collecting dust, all hacked, i have an old 250gb HDD filled with wii/GC games that i ripped using consoles and spent tons of time emulating on them

but these days i just fire up dolphin, its too easy, and being able to improve the graphics and such. I was so into dolphin years ago that i bought two Wii bluetooth units and pass em through to the emulator, its just too good!! i syncthing the whole save folder in the flatpak directory (for all the emulators tbh) so i can bounce the different areas of the house!

me and my partner have been able to encourage each other a little bit, i can get up there and do a little yoga and the hula hoop and then they gotta hop up to see if they can spin more hoops than me. we end up getting 15 minutes every time and surprisingly that is enough!

but heck as far as actually wii stuff i wanna play more, i want another playthrough of wii RE4, and i have never beat galaxy's 1 or 2! they are on my list also.
