We played some Super Smash Bros on Friday night. My buddy hadn't unlocked Mr. Game & Watch (my favorite character) so I was forced to try out some new characters. If it weren't for that game, the Wii wouldn't see much play.

The wii is a cheaper way to play gamecube games in 480p since wii component cables are cheap compared to gamecube ones.  For that use alone I suspect my Wii will get a little bit of use...

I'm right there with ya, I haven't even touched mine in ages.

I surprised my kids with one right after launch.  I took the day off just to scour the town and find one for them.  Managed to stop at a Best Buy right as the truck pulled in with some.  Hooked it up and left it running for the kids to see when they walked in the door from school.  They loved it for about a few months then never turned it on again.  It sat until my mom (shes in her 60s) saw it and wanted to try Wii Fit, so I gave it to her.  Took it over her house, showed her how to work it and it's never been turned on again since then. It's been YEARS since it's been turned on.  Maybe I'll give her a call and see if she's still using it... lol

Lol yep that seems to be a common fate of the Wii, I wish there were more that kept me attached, it's the only Nintendo console I have that just doesn't get the love the rest do. Even my Gamecube gets more love, it probably helps I have the GB Player attachment installed (plugs into the bottom and you can use GB/GBC/GBA games to play on your TV, provided you have the disc that came with it). Wii just didn't have that particular charm that caught me from Nintendo consoles, sadly.

UPDATE: I was wrong. Mom uses it for Netflix, on a regular basis, so she'll be keeping it.  :lol:

I did, but having picked up a GC component cable for a decent price last year, it's currently unplugged - WU plays Wii games just fine, and i miss the homebrew scene but that's about it.  also, didn't wanna bump the other thread but the TG16 games leaving VC (presumably over licensing issues) is always shitty to see, sucks for future generations but at least i'll have my physical stuff.

Apart from the great Wii games, it's a great emulation box. I just fired it up the other day to try the Sega CD emulation. Genesis Plus along with Wiimednafen allow me to put less stress on my CDX and DuoR respectively.

I'm thinking about playing the Wii again to play Nec games in it.
I already have a few ones but I'm thinking about expanding it.
Unfortunatelly the Wii U's VC is not as assorted as the one for Wii =/

I haven't used my Wii at all since getting a Wii U a few months ago... I do love that little system, though. It gets a lot of (legitimate) flak for its good game to shovelware ratio, but when it's good, it's REALLY good.

Can you imagine trying to amass a complete Wii collection? That would be absolute madness  8-[

How many Wii titles are out there? And are they still making them?
