Mums were using Wii Fit to keep in shape. That's not to mention the fact it made waggly motion controls standard issue for the industry-for better or worse.
Its influence is far broader than that of its contemporaries, bringing gaming to the fickle family audience by enlisting movie stars, pop stars, and footballers to shamelessly shill for it on television. But for all of its lack of technological wizardry, the Wii succeeded, and spectacularly so. And sure, it has the graphical prowess of a drunken monkey daubing faeces on a brick wall. No, these are pleasures reserved for the rest of us, the many who bought into Nintendo's promise of a console for everyone and discovered a heaving bosom of gaming brilliance, ripe for the suckling. They have never experienced the unrelenting joy of grasping that last coin in Mario Galaxy, or saving the universe in Xenoblade Chronicles, or trying to bowl in Wii Sports after inhaling twelve vodka Red Bulls.
Their loathing manifests as a poisonous bile that flows through the great sea of the internet and seeps into the waters of Xbox Live, where they scream their battle cry of "LOL GAY" while facehumping a corpse into oblivion.īut for all their juvenile posturing, the Wii deniers are dead inside. For this Wii-shunning "hardcore", the mere notion of motion-control waggle is enough to induce fits of violent rage.
Some people wouldn't be caught dead playing on a Wii.
