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)
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.]
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.
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.
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!

"The OG game" and it isn't Wii Sports........ Then calls Wii Sports Resort a "sim". Riiiiiight

Agreed. I have a lot of them saved that I'd love to share here. I would have posted it there if there was one.

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'm really surprised I don't see more people mention Excite Truck, that game is so FUN.

Mario kart is the first thing mentioned after the Wii itself.

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

Our (working, we have 2, one is partly cannibalised) Wii is still the only console in the house.

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 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.

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.
SpikesOtherDog@ani.social · 1 pts · 188d
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.

I have this and I'm trying to sell it. What's a good price?
