fun fact: when paypal first started, they used to give away like $20 just for signing up

>taking the time to respond
Absolutely seething

almost put them out of business

i remember when Nintendo had the Wii U, they gave away a free Full Price Wii U game of choice if you bought a game for it in the first 3 months of the game's release

that game was Mario Kart 8

so they lost a LOT of money with that marketing ploy

The Wiiu was such a strategic marketing fail

brings back memories

yeah, i still have my palm pilot

So it begins

>let's give our new console the exact same name as the previous one and no numerical delineation

@UnfilteredGarbage it had good games, just it wasnt good in many other ways

they could've sold 10 million more units by just calling it Wii 2

@Napoleon Lee Scott it was 2 wiis stapled together. It had shit specs and shit marketing

and the wii was 2 gamecubes together

Which was also dogshit, but at least it had the gimmick

i think Resident Evil 4 was the best on the wii

so was Metroid Prime

If they had actually printed Metroid Prime Collection more I'd agree

Pointer Controls work surprisingly well on FPS games

ah, X.com was Musk's version of paypal; couldn't remember the name

@UnfilteredGarbage its easy as hell to pirate Wii games on a SD card and play them on the actual WII

Wii re4 is piss easy

RE 4 was piss easy on any system

it's relatively easy to pirate most games if you know how to design electronics

i like Goldeneye 007 on the Wii more than the N64 orginal

RE4 is easy if you know the game mechanics, but on the wii the basic shooting is so damn easy you don't need to learn anything

tbh its works the same with keyboard mouse

Wii was caught right in the middle of the shift in processing archtecture

well Goldeneye on the N64 is one of the best games of all time with one of the worst control schemes of all time

^^^

The Switch Lite has drift issues

ooof

i liked the control scheme

i kicked ass in that game with it

It really wasn't, the Wii was just a gamecube and a half stapled together. The 360 was the forerunner in bringing PC hardware to home consoles

one of the first console games you could strafe

rember when the world was better.... i don't rember that.... i just rember knowing less about the world

who the fuck had a sega saturn instead of a PS1 or N64
