The tennis sim isn't Wii sports resort, it's the one above the text
I just jailbroke mine last month and I am dumping copies of my gamecube games and wii games on it whenever I get the chance. 100% recommend it.
I remember back in the day, not having a DVD reader capable of unscrambling Wii games, so I spent an entire day and a half ripping my collection using the very very slow Wii drive (4x speed I think)
Nintendo need more miis. Also the list needs twilight princess and Mario galaxy
Don't forget Super Smash Bros. Brawl! [And the smorgasbord of games available on the Wii Shop Channel. Super Mario 64, Super Mario World, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, etc.]
I'm really surprised I don't see more people mention Excite Truck, that game is so FUN.
Abso-fucking-lutely
Agreed. It was a blast to play with friends.
You are forgetting Mario galaxy
Mario kart is the first thing mentioned after the Wii itself.
Pikmin 1 & 2 and the Metroid Prime trilogy were great with Wiimote controls
Threw away my Guitar Hero attachment yesterday. My Wii doesn't even turn on anymore.
Chances are it is fixable
Guitar Hero on the Wii was peak gaming. We used to have Guitar Hero parties where we'd have a bunch of friends over and stay up all night rocking out. Was so much fun.
Man those are going for like $70-100 in my area.
Wii sports golf was the shit
Me plugging in my Wii to the outlet yesterday just to test a Homebrew program I wrote
And Super Mario Galaxy
I love that game
My PS3 would take the place of the Wii here, but I did only buy it because at the time it was cheaper than a Blu-ray player.
If it isn't the one with a slide open top, they are very easily soft modded to play games from a USB flash drive
Bowling simulator
Joke's on you, my fitness age is 99 (I reached level cap) 🥲
I absolutely didn't read miis for every family member incorrectly the first time......
I’m excited for Tamadotchi life to see my Mii again.
Our (working, we have 2, one is partly cannibalised) Wii is still the only console in the house.
Bombastically violent Wii games like HotD overkill, no more heroes, MadWorld....
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
No Twilight Princess? That was the reason everyone bought one at launch lol
beef boss
Maybe that's why. Eat your veggies!
Used every day here. 95% Mario kart.
Any tips on where I might find some disk images on the high seas? For the games I own of course.
My nephews are close to the age I was when I bought it and they play Mario kart nearly every time they visit grandma's. I got to wreck them in swordfighting on wii sports resort last time I visited home. Truly a timeless system.
No Zelda?
The people with Zelda played their WII
Tiger Woods golf was the shit! I miss a good golf game on the Switch...
My life forever changed when I found out you could play Mario Kart with a Nunchuk instead of the motion controls. It's so much better.
That DVD-5 burned copy of Smash Brawl that had the cutscenes ripped out to fit on a single layer DVD that didn't work half of the time and crashed ....WiiGator and NeoGama
Whelp thank goodness we moved away from that and now can do USB!
Mine gets pulled out by the kids from time to time.
Be aware, it can emulate most previous gen gaming hardware. I think it will play PlayStation games, but don't think it will play PS2.
My Wii sold on eBay so fast, I got the email telling me someone had bought it before I got the email confirming it was listed.
I have this and I'm trying to sell it. What's a good price?
