Nintendo Switch Consoles. Nintendo Switch Video Game Consoles. Released in North America on November 19, and December 2nd in Japan, along with December 7th and 8th in Australia and Europe respectively , this sleek white console that used rectangular "Wiimotes" as controllers took everyone by storm.
The console flung off store shelves; I myself couldn't buy my own Wii until the summer of when I finally saw one in the wild at Target. But why was it so popular? It all had to do with clever marketing. With the Wii, Nintendo was aiming for a more casual audience of people who may not be hardcore gamers, or who may not have even played a video game in their life.
One of their most famous ads depicts this, showing young children and older adults getting in on the gaming action, which, mind you, was nothing like anyone had ever seen before. Instead of gathering around to play Mario or Zelda two of Nintendo's most popular game franchises , people were swinging their controllers to roll a bowling ball, get a hole-in-one, or punch a character in the face. These motion controls are common now for games on the Nintendo Switch , but at the time of the Wii, they were brand new and everyone wanted to try them out.
The Wii took full advantage of the internet with many channels in the system's home menu for people to enjoy, most notably the Wii Shop Channel where people could download games from older Nintendo systems as well as games from other older systems, such as the Sega Genesis and Sega Master System and play them on their Wii. This was what was known as Nintendo's Virtual Console.
The Wii was also backward compatible with GameCube games , Nintendo's last-generation console at the time. From gamers to non-gamers alike, the Wii had everything.
Fast forward to and it seems the Nintendo Switch has the popularity now that the Wii once held, with motion controls and older games being offered through the Switch's online service. But if you're someone who missed out on the Wii's glory days, someone who's nostalgic for the Wii, or a collector who wants to add to their console collection, is it still worth buying today? Much of what made the Wii amazing in still holds up in If you missed out on playing Wii Sports back in the day and what it felt like to bowl a nearly perfect game with the Wiimote, now is your chance to do so.
The Switch has Ring Fit Adventure for those wanting a fitness fix, but I believe Wii Fit and the options it offers still holds up well in It all depends on what you're looking for in a workout. The Wii has a robust library of games, and the online market for both the games and the console is still fairly reasonably priced. You could buy a Wii plus a decent amount of games and end up spending less than you would on a new Switch and games — depending on what you are looking for, of course.
This brings me to my next point. There are three different Wii configurations you can buy; the original white model pictured above , The Wii Family Edition released in October for the U. S, and March for Europe and the UK.
The latter two models do not have backward compatibility with GameCube games and controllers. If you're looking for a way to play GameCube games and don't want to buy a GameCube system, or maybe you just don't have a way to hook up your original GameCube system, the original white Wii will allow you to enjoy two great gaming libraries.
