We'll explore the games that were released for the Wii like Wii Sports and Super Mario Galaxy, the features that set it apart from other gaming systems, and why it was such a popular console, even for people who had never played a video game in their life.

    I went from N64 to the Wii and DS in 2008. My 10 year old self thought I had reached peak high-tech gaming (I didn't understand the Xbox or ps3 side of things). Alongside the N64, those consoles shaped my late childhood beautifully

    My favorite wii memory is opening Super Mario Galaxy for the first time… watching Bowser become an actual threat with the epic cinematography was spectacular.

    For me, my favorite experience with the Wii was definitely playing Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the first time. It was just so magical, seeing all of my favorite Non-Nintendo/ Nintendo characters all in one game interacting with each other.

    The Wii was my first ever console and my brothers and I still play it to this day.

    Super Mario Galaxy 2 was my most favorite Wii game, its underrated in my opinion. Overall, the Wii console really changed the console industry with motion control.

    Kind of sad the Wii has more online features then the switch. I miss the wii news, waether and other things that the switch just does not have. In alot of ways nintendo took some steps back with the switch. Lets hope whatever they do next will make it to where i dont have to switch to another system if I want to watch netflix or check my email. Pun intended.

    Ah yes a time when Nintendo actually made good decisions like seriously why do I have pay for a $50 subscription just to play n64 games on switch. This is why I prefer the wii over the switch.

    The wii was just full of love in every aspect... Then the Wii U felt like the Wii's depressed brother and the switch is the grown up version, all about clean, simplistic and profit oriented...

    Playing wii sport resort with my big sis and my grandma for the whole afternoon during summer holidays is one of my best childhood memories. And play Mario galaxy 2 with my sis(I was the 2p unfortunately but later I mastered the game and got all 242 stars.) is also one of the best gaming experience I have ever had. Now my Wii is dead and I could only play skyward sword and mario galaxy on switch, but it doesn’t feel the same. Wii is the best of my childhood.

    I loved the Wii way too much growing up. I always remembered my little brother, one of my friends who lived across the street, and I would play Wii Sports a lot. Then there was my brother, my father, and I trying to beat Smash Bros' story mode.

    My favorite and basically only memory of the Wii was playing Mario Kart Wii on it at my cousins house. Wish I had more time to experience it back then.

    My favourite feature of the Wii is how easy it is to mod the system. You can get homebrew running on your Wii in just minutes nowadays and there are so many really cool stuff you can do with a hacked console.

    I remember getting it for the first time, i couldn’t get enough of it! I used to play it with my cousins too and we were so loud due to the fun. Wii Sports Resort is my favorite Wii title, along with Mario Galaxy 2

    One of my favorite consoles of all-time. So many great memories. Zelda: Twilight Princess at launch, Super Paper Mario not long after. All the retro and WiiWare games. For me the list of awesome experiences is long. Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, No More Heroes 1-2, MadWorld, Metroid Prime 3, The Last Story, a surprisingly good remake of GoldenEye, DKC, Xenoblade, Sin & Punishment Star Successor, Monster Hunter Tri, Klonoa, Punch-Out!!, Wii Sports and Sports Resort, Wario Land Shake It, the best version of Resident Evil 4 due to motion controls and a couple very fun RE Chronicles games.

    The Wii really was, and still is, special. It's the one and only gaming system that was brought into my family's house while I was growing up. Well, that and the View Master Interactive Vision.

    Found your channel looking for a video of MK Double Dash nostalgia I had and halfway to the video I suscribe, next came to this video because I LOVE the Wii. I was still living in Puerto Rico at the time and went to its midnight launch with my 3 year old daughter ( I still have a picture I took of her next to a link standee at my local Game Stop. Some times I would just spend over an hour in the weather channel just looking at different parts of the world or watching Nintendo week or sending messages to my friends (even when we could just text or use Facebook 😂) but it was different and it was fun to us. To me it was an amazing time the Wii era.
